Empty Nose Syndrome: Evidence Based Proposals for Inferior Turbinate Management

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.
