This unique medical guide focuses on scars. The impact of scars is often underestimated and rarely discussed, and they are considered an inevitable side effect of surgery or trauma. Although therapies for distressing scars do exist, many are based on myths rather than evidence. This strongly practice-oriented book provides step-by-step instructions with scales and measuring instruments for assessing scars. Featuring brief abstracts and summaries, this valuable reference resource benefits clinical professionals such as doctors and nurses alike. It will appeal to practitioners who want to understand the nature and background of planned treatments, and to non-experts who simply want to broaden their medical horizons.

Humans can resist 40 days without eating and 4 days without drinking, but only 4 minutes without breathing: this tells us much about its fundamental importance. Restoring an efficient nasal function is a very important – and in some cases crucial – issue. This book describes an innovative surgical technique called modified inferior turbinoplasty, which offers an excellent solution to the problems associated with the lower turbinate hypertrophy. A turbinate (or nasal concha) is a long, narrow, curled bone shelf that protrudes into the breathing passage of the nose. Most surgical interventions treat only the soft parts of hypertrophic turbinates and often lead to relapse. With this technique, in contrast, all anatomic parts of the turbinate are treated and swabs in the nose are completely avoided, which is fundamental for patients well-being and a quicker recovery. The book will be very useful for othorinolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, endoscopic and maxillofacial surgeons.
