Shows how to perform three-dimensional anatomic reconstruction for safe and successful surgical procedures...
Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a modern method of performing sinus surgery, spurred on by the development of the Hopkins rod telescope and its capacity to show clear and magnified views inside the nose and sinuses. No telescope, how-ever, can show the vital three-dimensional perspectives needed for precise localization of anatomic structures and safe surgical procedures.
This book and accompanying CD-ROM provide full coverage of nasal and sinus anatomy and anatomic variations in key areas, allowing you to recreate three-dimensional anatomic pictures from CT scans to guide you through all procedures.
Special features:
- Practical instructions on recreating three-dimensional anatomy pictures using CT scans
- CD-ROM demonstrates all techniques and offers valuable practice exercises in reconstructing three-dimensional anatomy
- Strategies for determining drainage pathways for optimal outcome
- New techniques for uncinate removal, exposing the maxillary ostium, performing endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, and closing cerebrosprinal fluid leaks
- Detailed description of the endoscopic modified Lothrop procedure
- 360 images, 79 in color-that effectively illustrate each point
Combining an operative reference with an anatomic manual, here is a resource that belongs in the libraries of ENT surgeons, otolaryngologists, and residents. Its in-depth coverage and didactic utility make it essential when preparing for endoscopic sinus surgery. Most importantly, it significantly improves the safety and efficacy of dissections by sharpening your ability to conceptualize vital three-dimensional anatomy.
