About this book
Considerable progress has been made in various fields of oculoplastic surgery, e.g. the development of endoscopic transcanalicular as well as endonasal minimal invasive techniques in lacrimal surgery, the use of muscle pedunculated scleral flaps to improve implant motility without pegging.
This extraordinary volume enhances your understanding of Graves’ ophthalmopathy and helps you to define situations suitable for radiotherapy and more differentiated surgical strategies such as orbital fat resection, balance bony decompression and lid lengthening procedures. It exemplifies progress in aesthetic surgery such as endoscopic brow lift and soft techniques for mid-face rejuvenation and discusses general risks of infectious disease transmission using allografts as well as current concepts in the management of conjunctival neoplasms.
Not only general and clinical ophthalmologists, but also ophthalmic and plastic surgeons will find this volume a stimulating resource that keeps them up to date on new developments in the interesting field of oculoplastic surgery.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This hard bound volume is the ninth issue of the series for ophthalmologists called ‘Essentials in Ophthalmology’ edited by G.K. Krieglstein and R. N. Weinreb. … This book is interesting for all oculoplastic, ENT, maxillofacial, and general plastic surgeons who operate in the field of eyelid and orbital surgery." (Karsten KHGundlach, Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Vol. 34, 2006)
"It is one of a new series covering each of seven subspecialty areas … which the publishers aim to cover in a 2-year cycle. … Overall then, this is a useful distillation of recent advances and current thinking in oculoplastics and orbital disease. It is most definitely aimed at those with a strong subspecialty interest … ." (Brian Sloan Franzco, Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Issue 34, 2006)
"Oculoplastics text books tend to be large manuals on the whole, and are best kept on the shelf rather than on one’s person. … The cover is well designed and aesthetically pleasing. … The book contains a plethora of new topics … . The chapters are relatively short and easy to read. They are written by international experts … . this book will be valuable for those regularly undertaking Oculoplastic work, e.g. specialist registrars, fellows, and consultants. … Overall, I would recommend this … ." (Ahmed Sadiq, Journal Francais d'Ophtalmologie, Vol. 13 (1), 2006)
