Customer Reviews from Amazon :
A MUST have textbook of rhinology
Finally, there is a rhinology text that is up to date, comprehensive and complete, giving a well balanced explanation of every aspect of rhinology ranging from basic sciences to clinical and practical rhinology, rhinoplasty and skull base. The book is well organized with beautiful illustrations and well-designed tables. I particularly like the tips and tricks, and notes, which highlight the important points of the chapter. The questions at the end of each chapter are also stimulating and help to summarize the key points. . Every chapter is well written with similar style. The paragraphs are succinct and to the point unlike other textbook, hence making reading easy and enjoyable. There is also sufficient depth and up to date information to keep you current with the development of Rhinology. If there is only one textbook of rhinology to get, I will strongly recommend getting this book first. After reading the book, you will have a good understanding and knowledge of rhinology.

A new standard for Rhinologic texts

While many authors have attempted to comprehensively address the topic of `Rhinology', the rapid pace of change in the scientific foundations of the field, in the past 25 years, has left most efforts out-of-date or as awkwardly revised editions. "Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery - From the lab to the operating room: an evidence-based approach", by Fokkens and Georgalas, forges a new path for the modern day physician. They have discarded the baggage of poorly constructed ideas, unscientific theory and anecdote that plagues many texts on the subject. This book is the new standard in field. It is comprehensive for both resident and expert. Clinical implication and practically are not lost with key points and review questions to ensure the essential messages are emphasized. The quality of the images reflects the high-definition era in which this book is constructed and the video library is beautifully edited, comprehensive and a reflection of the authors' expertise in the field. It is perhaps the finest video library available in Rhinologic texts. The chapters cover both medical and surgical (endoscopic and open) aspects of rhinology but lesser topics such as genetics, outcomes, non-allergic rhinitis, facial trauma and rhinoplasty are included in the same depth. This book is the ideal choice for anyone entering the field and equally so for the expert wishing to move with a new modern era of rhinology.
