Upper and Lower Airways Interaction: Is the United Airway Disease Concept a Reflection of Reality? How Important Is It?

This book examines in detail many rhinologic issues that are not covered in other books, are still not completely understood, and can be difficult to deal with clinically. In each chapter, three authors – a young otorhinolaryngologist, a senior author, and an international expert – elaborate on a specific issue, such as the role of immunotherapy in treating nasal polyps, the management of rhinitis during pregnancy, how rhinitis can differ in adults and children, how to choose between open or endonasal rhinoplasty, the ideal form of anesthesia for nasal surgery, etc. The volume will appeal to a wide readership, from otorhinolaryngologists to allergists and facial plastic surgeons, as well as trainees and students in related fields.
