“Rhinology Un-revisited”
As the field of rhinology continues to evolve and break all barriers, often reaching out far beyond its ‘traditional’ confines, the treatment of innate nasal conditions has also seen a transformation; old problems are being tackled in newer ways.
Bachi T Hathiram
Development is an ongoing process.
In this issue we have complied articles dealing with common nasal conditions, that have been dealt with non-traditional methods, with a purpose to stimulate the mind to search for newer treatment avenues, yet not disregarding conventional ENT practice. In addition, there are records of nasal masses that warrant mention due to their rare nature of occurrence.
We must state here that this search for newer avenues is with a singular aim for improved outcomes. Techniques are meaningless if outcomes are inferior. We must always keep in mind that reverting back to age old techniques may sometimes be the answer.
The quest for innovation can often bring us round a full circle!
