Intraoperative imaging technologies have taken an ever-increasing role in the daily practice of neurosurgeons and the increasing attention and interest necessitated international interaction and collaboration. The Intraoperative Imaging Society was formed in 2007. This book brings together highlights from the second meeting of the Intraoperative Imaging Society, which took place in Istanbul-Turkey from June 14 to 17, 2009. Included within the contents of the book is an overview of the emergence and development of the intraoperative imaging technology as well as a glimpse on where the technology is heading. This is followed by in detail coverage of intraoperative MRI technology and sections on intraoperative CT and ultrasonography. There are also sections on multimodality integration, intraoperative robotics and other intraoperative technologies. We believe that this book will provide an up-to date and comprehensive general overview of the current intraoperative imaging technology as well as detailed discussions on individual techniques and clinical results.

Despite meticulous attention to details and expert technique, complications resulting from rhinologic procedures can occur during one's professional career. This book discusses real-life complications and why these unfortunate events occur, as well as how best to manage the consequent issues. The text also provides thoughtful strategies to prevent such situations going forward. The book is organized as a series of case-based chapters, each illustrating a complication involving the orbit, the skull base, unexpected bleeding, poor healing, or those relating to intraoperative decision making, and how each was managed by the authors. Each chapter begins with bullet points highlighting key clinical pearls illustrated by that particular case. Written by leaders in the field with decades of experience in sino-nasal procedures, the analysis complements expert opinions with evidence-based published literature and shares experiences related to the most current techniques, devices, and instrumentation. Every otolaryngologist practicing rhinologic procedures will appreciate the candid nature of the discussion and will find enrichment in this shared wisdom. Lessons Learned from Rhinologic Procedure Complications: A Case-Based Review serves practitioners of general otolaryngology as well as resident trainees in this field, explaining how best to identify, diagnose, and resolve a complication during rhinology procedures.

This textbook includes the latest knowledge and advances for a comprehensive range of disorders, including the management of benign and malignant sinonasal tumours. Rhinology is now a fully established and highly popular specialist field that has undergone a major paradigm shift over recent decades. This progressive change has been possible because of the synchronous developments in technology, radiology, therapeutics and pharmacology. These advances have changed clinical practice in every dimension, and this has led to a truly global exponential rise in specialist rhinological interest into the management of sinonasal disorders.Contemporary Rhinology: Science and Practice opens with the basic science of rhinology, with chapters that build an understanding of the nose and sinuses. Chapters cover embryology, anatomy, physiology, immunology, sleep disorders, and more. From there, clinical assessment of the nose and sinuses is discussed. The following sections cover pediatric sinonasal disorders and inflammatory sinus disorders, such as pediatric rhinosinusitis, pediatric nasal deformity, allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, and fungal sinus disease. Following these are several chapters discussing tumors and sinus and skull base surgery. The textbook closes with coverage of a variety of smaller topics, such as epistaxis, trauma to the nose and paranasal sinuses, and nasal obstructions. The textbook features outstanding illustrations, video clips, and key points to enhance understanding and recall.This textbook’s balance of applied science and clinical practicality makes is an ideal resource for anyone from trainee surgeons to established specialists in rhinology.
