This book is probably the first of its kind in the Indian context highlighting the goal of maintaining ethnic identity congruent with the patient's facial features and establishing Indian standards for gauging the success of the surgery. This is important as most of the rhinoplasty books have addressed these issues of the Caucasian or southeast Asian population and Caucasian normative standards of facial analysis. This book provides a broader understanding of ethnically specific features. It highlights the regional variations within India and their implications for rhinoplasty Surgery, thereby filling the void of lack of knowledge of the intricacies of surgery on Indian noses.

It simplifies and facilitates learning with numerous pre-operative, intra-operative, and postoperative photographs. This book provides a systematic approach to Rhinoplasty surgery in Indian patients with an emphasis on addressing the functional aspects along with the cosmetic aspects.This book is a must-have for trainees in rhinoplasty and plastic surgery courses along with facial plastic surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, and aesthetic surgeons operating on the Indian population across the globe.

El propósito del presente trabajo es analizar y difundir la experiencia curricular por competencias profesionales. En una primera fase se aborda al Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Guadalajara y, posteriormente, se centra en la Licenciatura en Cirujano Dentista del mismo centro universitario. Este trabajo presenta un punto de vista sobre la experiencia del diseño curricular por competencias profesionales, tanto en la fundamentación conceptual y metodológica, como en la expresión concreta de un programa educativo. Finalmente, se propone el diseño curricular hologramático como estrategia para promover una mayor coherencia entre los componentes del diseño curricular y los momentos de su implementación, de tal manera que cada parte o fracción curricular sea una muestra representativa de todo el proceso.

Book

Advances in endoscopic sinus surgery have led to development of applications never imagined before for treating both adult and pediatric patients with sinus disease. Since 1925, when Maltz introduced for the first time a telescope in the nose, an incredible diag­ nostic tool was born; Since then, European and American visionares such as Kennedy, adopted the technique and perfectioned it to our days, when the application of the "new millenium" technologies, have made endoscopic endonasal procedures a fascinating chapter of nasal surgery. Attention to the details of this complex treatment strategy is needed to reap the full benefits of it, to avoid complications and to recognize unsolved problems in order to make every treatment the ideal one. As an ENT surgeon, you must keep in mind that the single most important contraindication for endonasal surgery, is not some kind of nasal condition but the inability of a surgeon to understand the intrincated and complex anat­ omy and physiology, knowledge of them both are the most valuable tools when perform­ ing a surgery, making it safe and helpful to the patient.
