The first publication devoted entirely to management of this potentially devastating syndrome, Empty Nose Syndrome: Evidence Based Proposals for Inferior Turbinate Management takes a comprehensive, state-of-the-art look at ENS, serving as a valuable addition to the literature for physicians, surgeons, and trainees. ENS is a secondary atrophic rhinitis which is most often the result of excessive surgical removal of functioning turbinate tissue. In this timely reference, Drs. Eugene Barton Kern and Oren Friedman solidify the awareness of ENS, inform readers of the current state of knowledge on ENS, and provide detailed coverage of how to prevent or minimize it.

Key Features

Provides comprehensive coverage of the entire problem of ENS, based on scientific research and including an extensive bibliography for further reading
Addresses proper turbinate management during nasal surgery in detail, noting that ENS can be prevented in most instances
Contains chapters on symptoms of ENS, key definitions, diagnosis, treatment options for ENS, and more, along with extensive coverage of every aspect of turbinate management
Consolidates today's available information on this timely topic into a single, convenient resource
