Dedication To my parents, Guille and Carlos whose hard work provided me an example to follow. To my beloved children Juan Carlos, Montserrat and Aida.
To the sinus sufferer who is the ultimate inspiration for new thinking, research and clinical investigation.
Forewords This book represents the experience of a single author who has documented his surgical approach to nasosinus disorders, the text is brief without loss of clarity, Dr. Yanez demonstrates his superb teaching skills and devotion to details. The surgical photographs used to illustrate the surgical techniques are of superb quality. This contribution is valuable to the endonasal endoscopic sinus surgeon because of it's eclectic incorporation of the best ideas from various sources. Dr. Yanez stresses directed surgery to the individual's pathologic situation in order to maximize the likelihood of symptom relief while minimizing unwanted sequelae. This is accomplished by mastering endonasal anatomy, understanding the pathophysiology and utilizing modern instrumentation (cutting power, and 3-D navigational devices). Dr. Yanez is to be commended for sharing this substantial contribution so that fellow surgeons and their patients may benefit. Mark May M.D. F.A.C.S.
