It stands to reason that if you can choose between a captain of a ship who only has experience in navigating Long Island Sound versus one who has experienced navigating the Atlantic Ocean, you would go with the captain with the greater experience. Bluntly, surgery is not much different. Many ENT surgeons limit most of their practice to office-based procedures, and perhaps routine sinus surgery. Dr. Costantino’s practice spans the range from straight forward sinus operations, to some of the most complex surgical procedures performed along the undersurface of the brain case (skull base). Though complications can occur with any surgery and any surgeon, it is well recognized in the medical literature that the more robust the breadth of skill, and the greater the experience of the surgeon correlates with better outcomes.
