O autorze

Dr. Fabio Meneghini earned his MD in Medicine and Surgery and specialized with honors in Maxillofacial Surgery from the University of Padua and Ferrara, Italy. He additionally gained a Master's Degree in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery with a dissertation on open rhinoplasty at the University of Padua, where he was soon nominated Adjunct Professor at the School of Specialization in Maxillofacial Surgery. He has been teaching Facial Aesthetic Surgery, later lecturing for the Postgraduate course in Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery, and teaching clinical facial studies and facial aesthetic surgery at the University of Padua, and at the International Academy of Aesthetic Medicine in Parma. His areas of expertise in facial surgery cover: aesthetic, reconstructive and functional nasal surgery (rhinoplasty, septoplasty, inferior turbinate surgery), profiloplasty and aesthetic surgery of the chin (mentoplasty, submental liposuction), corrective surgery of jaw deformities (orthognathic) and otoplasty (correction of protruding ears, earlobe reconstruction). Dr Meneghini patented three surgical instruments dedicated to open rhinoplasty, two tools for facelift and a tool for eyebrow lifting. On top of his 30 years of clinical activity and teaching, he has also published in peer-reviewed journals as Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Journal of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery, Journal of Craniofacial Surgery and authored the well-received Springer title Clinical Facial Analysis, now in its second edition.

Expressly designed for surgeons in training who are new to nasal rhinoplasty, this textbook is written in a simple didactic style. A century after the first open rhinoplasty was performed by Dr. Aurel Réthi in Hungary, open rhinoplasty is now the most commonly used approach to aesthetic and reconstructive nasal surgery; the author’s decades of experience will safely guide the reader through her/his journey from the first contact with new patients to the postoperative analysis of clinical results.

Instead of the usual classification of surgical techniques and anatomical regions, here the learning process is based on a sequence of steps, each of which addresses the most frequent problems that surgeons are likely to encounter in everyday clinical practice. In addition, the most relevant surgical instruments and electromedical devices are presented, together with their specific features and techniques, such as inclination and positioning during the procedure. Each step is richly illustrated and supported by a suggested reading list, as well as content on ethical and general principles. A specific chapter on radiological pre-evaluation assessment makes this book unique. Given its clear structure, its appealing didactic style and wealth of figures, Basic Open Rhinoplasty offers a much-valued step-by-step companion for postgraduate students, surgeons in training, and medical practitioners who deal with rhinoplasty in their clinical practice.
