    Patients present to physicians with headache or facial pain and are certain that it is a “sinus headache.” Specialists of all types - otolaryngologists, allergists, neurologists, internists, and emergency physicians are confronted almost daily with these patients. “Headache in Otolaryngology: Rhinogenic and Beyond” describes headaches ascribed to other causes - migraine as well as headaches that actually are a result of sinusitis. This volume addresses the need for expertise of an otolaryngologist who can obtain a history of nasal and sinus disease, evaluate the interior of the nose, and correlate it to a computed tomographic (CT) scan, along with collaboration of neurologists/headach... specialists. Because headaches are often a symptom of potentially dangerous medical conditions that may need emergency work-up and referral to the appropriate physician, information in this volume identifies these emergency conditions for the clinician. Topics include: Confusion about sinus headache; Diagnosing Adult and Pediatric Headache; Imaging for the headache patient; TMJ head pain; Signs of dangerous headache; Vertiginous headache; Rhinogenic headache; Medical treatment of headache; and Surgery for headache.

    La cœlioscopie est une technique en constante évolution qui, comparée à la chirurgie conventionnelle (dite « ouverte »), est moins invasive et moins traumatisante et permet de diminuer l'analgésie postopératoire tout en favorisant une reprise d'activité plus précoce pour la patiente. Cet ouvrage décrit toutes les interventions chirurgicales en gynécologie-obstétri... aussi bien diagnostiques que thérapeutiques, qui peuvent être réalisées sous chirurgie cœlioscopique. Après des développements consacrés à l'installation de la patiente, à la mise en place de la cœlioscopie et à l'environnement opératoire, l'ouvrage aborde les spécificités de l'anatomie du pelvis. Les différents actes pratiqués actuellement en chirurgie cœlioscopique sont expliqués et détaillés : stérilité tubo-péritonéale, grossesse extra-utérine, infections génitales hautes, kystes de l'annexe, torsions d'annexes, endométriose, hystérectomie, myomectomie, prolapsus et incontinence urinaire. Cette 2e édition, entièrement revue et mise à jour, introduit un nouveau chapitre consacré à la cœlioscopie et la grossesse, le chapitre sur l'endométriose est scindé en deux pour mieux aborder le problème des nodules de la cloison rectovaginale. Plus de 500 illustrations en couleurs guident pas à pas le chirurgien dans sa lecture et des compléments vidéos en ligne lui permettront de visualiser les bons gestes.
