DEDICATIONS
v
I would like to dedicate this book to my family, to those who have taught me, and to those who will con-tinue to advance the field of rhinologic knowledge in future years. My wife Eddie has been most supportivewhile I have been busy trying to gain a better understanding and to teach what I have learned of this excit-ing field. My son Garrett and my daughter Kirin have each lost a portion of their childhood because ofthe times that I have either been away teaching at courses or working in my study. I thank each of you for
your love and understanding and dedicate this book to you.

FOREWORD
ix
In mid 1984, David Kennedy spoke to me about a new approach to surgery of the paranasal sinuses. Asa new department chairman at Johns Hopkins and trained in the then standard approaches to sinussurgery, I have to admit that I was skeptical. Davids enthusiasm and passion to pursue this was fueled byhis knowledge and understanding of the physiology of the sinuses as taught to him by then emeritus Hop-kins faculty member Don Proctor. He was not to be denied. We agreed we would obtain the necessary
endoscopic equipment and David would first develop his skills in the anatomy laboratory.David did just that. He took a careful and systematic approach and developed his new skills in the
laboratory before taking them to his patients. His reading and work raised many questions in his mind andhe pursued their answers relentlessly. Today, 16 years later, David is a master endoscopic sinus surgeon, clin-ician, researcher and academic leader. He has instructed thousands of physicians in the clinical care of sinusdisease and he has contributed to our understanding of the pathophysiology of sinusitis.
David also quickly recognized the importance of high quality imaging to the proper diagnosis andtreatment of sinus disease. He partnered with Jim Zinreich, a talented neuroradiologist who developedand refined techniques to image the paranasal sinuses, adding value to the diagnostic and therapeuticapproach to diseases of the sinuses. In this book, Kennedy, Zinreich, and Bolger provide an authoritativetext that comprehensively covers all medical and surgical aspects of the paranasal sinus and the diseases thataffect them. They have recruited an international group of contributors known for their clinical expertiseand contributions to the scientific literature. Disease of the paranasal sinuses and particularly chronic sinusi-tis is one of the most common clinical illnesses to present to the physician. This book will serve as a pen-etrating and guiding beacon both to those who are entering otolaryngologyhead and neck training andto experienced clinicians.

Those who work with patients suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis recognize that it has a much greatereffect on the quality of life of affected individuals than was previously recognized. Chronic rhinos-inusit is is also one of the most common healthcare complaints and frequently has an insidious onset. Thesignificant international prevalence of this disease has been brought home to me as I travel to meetingsand to give courses. Whether in a developed nation or a developing nation, one of the most commongreetings is You have come to the right place; this must be the sinusitis capital of the world.
In recent years, our understanding of rhinosinusitis has increased significantly, along with our diag-nostic potential and our ability to treat the disorder effectively. At the same time, there has been a resur-gence of clinical and basic research in an area which was, for a long time, relatively ignored.
The goal of this book is to provide a comprehensive volume, produced by the international lead-ers in the field, which details our current level of knowledge regarding diagnosis, medical care, and sur-gical therapy of rhinosinusitis. We hope that we have succeeded, but as in any first edition, there willundoubtably be some areas which would have benefitted from expansion, some which could have beencondensed, and others that could have been included. I would particularly like to thank all of the chap-ter authors for their hard work and patience during the process of development of this book.
As a resident, I was frequently concerned about the seemingly poor results of our treatment ofsinonasal disease. However, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Donald Proctor, MD,on a sinus mucocil iary clearance research project. Clinically, he also taught us the importance of endo-
scopic diagnosis and the key role of the ethmoid sinuses in the pathogenic process. In my early academiccareer as an otologist, the influence of sino-nasal disease on eustachian tube function was evident. There-fore we would frequently perform medical management and intranasal ethmoidectomy under the micro-scope in patients where the sinus disease appeared to be a significant factor in the patients otologic process.
In the late 70s, I had reviewed Professor Messerklingers classical work, Endoscopy of the Nosefor one of the journals and was intrigued with the level of diagnostic precision that he described. How-ever, at that time it was not evident why such detailed diagnosis was required, since a wide extirpativesurgical procedure with mucosal stripping was typically performed. In the early 1980s I had the oppor-tunity to interact with Professor Messerklinger at a meeting, and to see him present the superb work thathe had performed on mucociliary clearance. This, combined with his concepts of more focused surgicalprocedures under endoscopic visualization, rekindled my interest in sinus disease.
Since we originally introduced the concept of functional endoscopic sinus surgery, I have had theopportunity to visit and to learn from many great rhinologists and my thinking, as well as that of the spe-
cialty, has become more refined. This book provides all the specialists who have an interest in this excit-ing area with a synopsis of our current state of knowledge of the pathogenesis and treatment of sinus dis-ease. It is our hope that it will improve clinical care and spur some individuals onto additional research.

To my many teachers I would also like to extend my sincere thanks for the time that you have spentwith me. Space does not permi t me to mention each of you who has contributed to this work and,directly or indirectly, to this field. William McGowan and Harold Brown taught me how to be a sur-geon, my uncle John McAuliffe Curtin taught me that otolaryngology could be fun, George Nager taughtme how to really care for patients, Donald Proctor taught me the excitement of research in sinus dis-
ease, Walter Messerklinger shared his knowledge and techniques with me and Michael Johns encour-aged me to proceed with developing this exciting field. To each of you, and to others too numerous tomention, I dedicate this book. Finally, I would also like to dedicate this book to those of you who wil lpick up the torch and, by continued research, close clinical observation and the highest quality of clin-ical care, publications, and selfless teaching will further advance our knowledge in rhinology and sinusdisease from this point forward.
David W. Kennedy, MD, FACS, FRCSI
Iwish to acknowledge those who have helped in my pursuit to learn about rhinology and to grow as asinus surgeon. For introducing me to rhinology, inspiring me to learn more, and patiently teachingme I acknowledge and thank David S. Parsons, MD, Frederick A. Kuhn, MD, and David W. Kennedy,MD. For their leadership and direction that helped guide and nurture my growth as a surgeon Iacknowledge and thank David H . Thompson, MD, and Norman M. Rich, MD.
For endless support over many years and for teaching me the most valuable lessons in colleague-ship I acknowledge and thank Eric A. Mair, MD, and John D. Casler, MD.
