Textbook of Nasal Tip Rhinoplasty


Book Description

This textbook addresses the growing need for a manual that teaches when and how to perform nasal tip rhinoplasty through an “Open-Approach”. Practitioners will value the comprehensive coverage of the topic. The actual surgical steps involved in the various techniques form the main body of the work, while a wealth of intra-operative photographs facilitate the learning experience. The views expressed are solely those of the author, based on his personal experience. He makes no claims to the content being exhaustive or the only possible approach and has extensively referenced various experts in the field who have contributed to this topic. This book represents the author’s view of how to approach nasal tip deformities, and how to arrive at an algorithm in putting together various surgical techniques in a “sequence” to achieve meaningful results. The book also explores the clinical correlation, which is just as or arguably even more important in nasal tip surgery. The main chapters will focus on the suture, grafting, non-suture and non-grafting techniques in nasal tip reconstruction. Drawing on the author’s surgical experience, gathered in the course of over 1700 open tip surgeries over 23 years, the book fills a lacuna in teaching and training and will be of interest to all trainees and consultant surgeons seeking concise information on nasal tip surgery.

Nasal and Paranasal Sinus Surgery


Book Description

"In this book we have tried to collect the state of the art of nasal and paranasal sinus surgery, deepening the most modern techniques and addressing every single pathology with great dedication. In the first chapter, thanks to the help of Professor Enrique Perello, leader of ENT surgery in Spain and with an international reputation, we tried to trace the history of nasal surgery. We found photos of ancient treatises, analyzing the origins of some techniques, still used but perfected with the help of technology. In the following chapters, we have dealt with the basic surgery of the nose and paranasal sinuses, with evident help on the septal endoscopic part by Professor Andrea Gallo, director of the Polo Pontino of the La Sapienza University in Rome. The chapters on oroantral communications and odontogenic sinusitis were written by Professor Cosme Gay-Escoda, leader in the maxillofacial and oral cavity surgery sector throughout Spain. The chapter on inverted papillomas was written by the professor of the University of Genoa Frank Rikki Canevari, a surgeon of national and international fame, expert on the nasal cavities. We wrote a chapter on dacryocistorinostomy, with the help of Professor Maurizio Catalani, of the University of Turin and in collaboration with a team of ophthalmologists led by professors Meduri, Aragona and doctor Migliardi. We thank the whole ENT team of the University of Palermo, led by Professor Gallina, for the chapter on the complications of endonasal surgery. We received special help from the team of the Insubria University of Varese, led by professors Bignami and Castelnuovo, world leaders in this type of surgery. They wrote the chapters on rhino-liquor fistulas and on the treatment of nasal tumors, giving us the precious images of their most interesting clinical cases. Thanks to external contributions, this book can be considered a handbook for nose surgery, updated to the most modern surgical techniques in use and with an analysis of the possible future developments of this type of surgery"--







Rethinking Rhinoplasty and Facial Surgery


Book Description

This volume presents a novel logic-based, simplified understanding and approach to the external nose and face for aesthetics, airway, and sleep treatments that have mostly been under-recognized in the past. Key features of the text include an engineer’s approach to simple rhinoplasty, (Release, Resize, Reposition, Reinforce) instead of the typical step-wise procedure algorithm. It also includes a logical explanation of how facial skeletal anatomy is the true cause of sleep apnea and aesthetic deformity with the physics and evidence of how this works, and a review of conventional rhinoplasty/facial structural treatments, with an analysis of why these are flawed and need improvement. Finally, rhinoplasty surgical strategy is discussed using a Rhinoplasty Compass(TM) diagram. Rethinking Rhinoplasty and Facial Surgery appeals to the surgeon who has grown frustrated with the aesthetic and breathing results of the conventional treatment paradigm. It also appeals to the otolaryngologist, plastic or oral surgeon who avoids working on the external nose and nasal valve because of the perceived complexity of graft-style rhinoplasty or oversimplicity and limitations of basic septoplasty and turbinate reduction. This book provides a hybrid approach to the nose and face that provides more reliable and straightforward outcomes via an understanding of framework.
