Editorial
Plastic, reconstructive and functional surgery of the nose and ear belongs to the most exciting and rewarding tasks in Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery. Functional rehabilitation has always been a major issue for ENT doctors, but meanwhile also purely aesthetic demands are widely respected as being important for the patients to almost the same extent.
Continuous change and progress in scientific research, diagnostics and treatment have initiated this synopsis on the state of the art in the management of deformities of the nose and ears.
Compiling the contributions of all participating authors has been a pleasure due to their active and enthusiastic engagement. This volume now contains a nearly complete survey of all minor and major surgeries in deformities of the nose and ear, including a chapter on ear malformations. Because of the importance of complications in cosmetic surgery, two own chapters by expert authors are dedicated to this topic.
I hope that both beginners and experienced surgeons in the field will profit by this volume – for the advantage of the patients concerned.
