many problems all around the nose. That is why we decided to entitle this comprehensive textbook
All Around the Nose. This rhinology book is designed to include all the major aspects of
nasal and paranasal sinus disease and the current treatment modalities. It was planned to be the
collaboration of 280 authors, both senior and more junior, and involve the contributions of
many world-renowned leaders in the field.
