The quintessential, authoritative, and reader-friendly rhinology reference

Rhinology: Diseases of the Nose, Sinuses, and Skull Base edited by distinguished clinicians Peter H. Hwang, David W. Kennedy, Richard R. Orlandi, and Peter John Wormald brings together the collective wisdom, experience, and vision of preeminent thought leaders in a comprehensive rhinology reference. With approximately 1, 000 pages, this tome offers in-depth coverage of all core topics in the subspecialty of rhinology, ranging from rhinosinusitis to endoscopic skull base reconstruction and more. The updated resource reflects the significant growth in knowledge and understanding of anatomy, pathophysiology, medical therapies, surgical techniques, and technological innovations in rhinology that have occurred since the publication of the 2012 edition.

The second edition features a total of 69 chapters—reflecting the evolving depth and breadth of the field. It encompasses the pathogenesis, current thinking, diagnosis, and management of chronic rhinosinusitis, the pathology and management of less common disorders, and the surgical techniques and postoperative management of skull base lesions and sinonasal tumors. Highlights include updated content on olfaction, new material on biologic therapies, enhanced coverage of office-based rhinologic procedures, and an updated section on endoscopic nasopharyngectomy.
