Introduction
Rhinology and sinonasal surgery are areas that have witnessed rapid change. The pace of change, driven by innovative surgeons in Otolaryngology and Neurosurgery and by incredible technological advances, has resulted in large numbers of publications seeking to educate and update today’s trainees and clinicians. There are, however, many reasons to present the current volume.
One aspect of operations on the nose, paranasal sinuses, and skull base that has not changed is the anatomy. We, therefore, begin this volume with a review of proven anatomic landmarks permitting safe surgical approaches, even in revision cases. We do not bring in a discussion of computer‐assisted surgical navigation, as this has been reviewed extensively in recent literature, and we prefer to emphasize simple, reliable anatomic landmarks that are useful even in the presence of advanced disease. We then present specific surgical problems, with updates on contemporary management strategies. These include surgical techniques for problems involving the maxillary, sphenoid, and frontal sinuses. There are three main areas of concern to all surgeons working in this region: the skull base, orbit, and vasculature. We have, therefore, included our approach for repair of various skull base defects, a review of orbital procedures, and an update on management of epistaxis. Finally, we include updates on new technology that today’s rhinologist will undoubtedly encounter. This is first reviewed in the context of general office‐based procedures. Next, we include an update on the use of balloon dilation technology in the office setting, as this is a technique that has emerged recently and has potentially broad application for our patients.
This volume gathers several experts, providing a thorough and contemporary update on rhinologic surgery. We wish to thank these authors for their hard work and fine contributions. We also thank Dr. David Goldenberg for allowing us to serve as guest editors. Finally, we thank our patients, who continue to teach us all.
