Reviews

[This book is]one of the most comprehensive surgical guides I've seen in my career. It is a strongly how-to and problem-oriented tome. It was well written and very easy to read. The format makes it is easy to fi nd answers and specific recommendations. I would strongly recommend that all endoscopic sinus surgeons review the book and see if they can benefi t from the incredible expertise represented in this manual. -- The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery
