Learn the facts about sinus surgery and the medical and minimally invasive procedures available to you from a pioneer in otolaryngology. Sinuses. Everybody has them. Nobody likes them. The words “sinus” and “issues” are associated together so often, it’s no wonder that over half a million people receive sinus surgery in the US each year. But for many, the problems with their sinuses still persist well after receiving treatment. With more than thirty years of experience as a sinus surgeon, Dr. Reuben Setliff wants patients to know as much as possible about their sinuses when facing the potentially life-altering choices of surgery and picking a long-term care routine. His tell-all book, Let’s Clear Things Up, explains the differences between optional and necessary surgery, the benefits of minimally invasive procedures, and natural ways to correct sinus problems all on our own. Get informed so that when you walk into a clinic, the air between you and your doctor is clear enough to get you breathing right the first time.
This is the most up-to-date reference depicting surgical anatomy, and thus fulfils an important need. It presents a step-by-step surgical approach from the anterior nasal spine to the anterior wall of the sphenoid, illustrated by brilliant colour photographs. Four critical anatomical structures are emphasised as the foundation for a precise approach to surgery of the maxillary, anterior ethmoid, frontal, and posterior ethmoid sinuses. In short, an anatomical approach which will serve the sinus surgeon at every level of experience and expertise.
It is only recently that the use of the endoscope as the sole visualizing tool has been introduced in transsphenoidal pituitary surgery with its favorable related implications and minimal operative trauma. Of course, microscopic and endoscopic anatomy are basically the same, but the optical distorsion of endoscopic images is quite substantial compared to microscopic depictions. An endoscope lens produces images with maximal magnification at its center and severe contraction at its periphery. Nearer images are disproportionally enlarged and remote images are falsely miniaturized. This optical illusion may disorientate a surgeon who is not familiar with this peculiar condition at the skull base. This atlas acts as a guide through the endoscopic anatomy and gives detailed descriptions of the preoperative management and the surgical procedures.
