The quintessential, authoritative, and reader-friendly rhinology reference
Rhinology: Diseases of the Nose, Sinuses, and Skull Base edited by distinguished clinicians Peter H. Hwang, David W. Kennedy, Richard R. Orlandi, and Peter John Wormald brings together the collective wisdom, experience, and vision of preeminent thought leaders in a comprehensive rhinology reference. With approximately 1,000 pages, this tome offers in-depth coverage of all core topics in the subspecialty of rhinology, ranging from rhinosinusitis to endoscopic skull base reconstruction and more. The updated resource reflects the significant growth in knowledge and understanding of anatomy, pathophysiology, medical therapies, surgical techniques, and technological innovations in rhinology that have occurred since the publication of the 2012 edition.
The second edition features a total of 69 chapters—reflecting the evolving depth and breadth of the field. It encompasses the pathogenesis, current thinking, diagnosis, and management of chronic rhinosinusitis, the pathology and management of less common disorders, and the surgical techniques and postoperative management of skull base lesions and sinonasal tumors. Highlights include updated content on olfaction, new material on biologic therapies, enhanced coverage of office-based rhinologic procedures, and an updated section on endoscopic nasopharyngectomy.

Thieme offers electronic books in PDF and EPUB formats. For both formats, you need software to display the documents on your reading device. This software is not part of the e-book download.
What is the PDF format?
Adobe PDF format (Portable Document Format) is a standard format in MAC/PC area. Free programs for reading a PDF are available for all common operating systems (e.g. Windows, Mac OS, Linux) and for almost all e-book readers such as e-book readers, tablets or smartphones.
What is the EPUB format?
EPUB (electronic publication) is a standard format for e-books that enables dynamic adaptation of the text to the size of the display device. It is particularly well suited for displaying e-books on tablet PCs, smartphones, and e-book readers.
EPUBs can also be easily displayed on MACs/PCs via the free ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) software, for example.
An Internet connection is required only to download the e-book to the reader. Once the download is complete, you can view and read the e-book without an Internet connection.

On how many devices can I read the e-book?
You can read an e-book on up to six different (mobile) devices. These devices must be authorized with the same Adobe ID.
Can I exchange/return an e-book?
E-books are products that are not suitable for return due to their nature. Just like downloads of other electronic files (movies, music or software), e-books are excluded from the right of withdrawal. A return or exchange is therefore not possible.
