Image-guided Surgery of the Paranasal Sinuses An Issue of Otolaryngologic Clinic

The introduction of functional endoscopic sinus surgery in the early 1980s revolutionized the surgical treatment of sinonasal disorders. This procedure also produced unexpected surgical complications. The surgical creation of drainage sites in the paranasal sinuses brings a concomitant risk of injuries to the vital surrounding structures of the skull base, the brain, and the orbit. The development of computer-aided navigation systems has added another helpful tool to the operating surgeon's armamentarium. This issue is devoted to image-guided tools, techniques, and outcomes of the guided surgery.Meyers, Arlen D. is the author of 'Image-guided Surgery of the Paranasal Sinuses An Issue of Otolaryngologic Clinic', published 2005 under ISBN 9781416028611 and ISBN 1416028617.
