he desire to teach and the fulfillment attained from teaching Thave again prompted us to produce a work that we hope will be both useful and enlightening to our readers. The field of oculoplastic surgery has grown and evolved to include all aspects of eyelid and facial plastic surgery. Our literature must now reflect the advancements and direction of our field. Knowledge of anatomy, the basis of all surgery and the root of surgical princi ples and techniques, is the basis of our ability to deliver the highest quality care to our patients. We have therefore combined text and diagrams, and supplemented them with CD-ROM digital video technology to provide to those who wish to perform this surgery the best possible instruction and prepa ration. We hope that our attempts to accomplish this will be rewarded by the use of our material by our colleagues and the acknowledgment of our unique and logical progression in the field of eyelid and facial plastic surgery. Future volumes in this series will cover other aspects of eyelid, lacrimal, facial, and orbital surgery.
From the reviews:
" It is the work of the well-known Detroit oculoplastic group ? . When one reads through this book ? there really is nothing else that is needed in terms of teaching of oculoplastic surgery. ? This is a book which I would strongly recommend to those engaged in this specialty ? . I highly recommend it to all trainees and to those who feel that their knowledge may be a little rusty ? ." (I. T. Jackson, European Journal of Plastic Surgery, Vol. 26 (8), 2004)
"The book is intended for ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, plastic and general surgeons who want a better understanding of eyelid surgery. It succeeds in providing a practical guide for the practitioner ? . The standard of the content is on the whole high. The surprise bonuses are the two compact discs inside the back cover. Here the reader/viewer is treated to a high-quality, well-edited digital video of oculoplastic surgery. ? This is the first multi-media surgical atlas I have seen and it represents a valuable educational tool." (Susan Hague, Eye News, Vol. 9 (3), 2002)
