Synopsis
In a text intended to be useful to reconstructive as well as cosmetic surgeons and practitioners in related disciples, Dr. Spinelli (plastic surgery, Weill Medical College of Cornell U.) provides a well-illustrated reference on upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty as well as other types of reconstructive and aesthetic surgery of the periocular region. Following introductory chapters on facial anatomy and eyelid pathophysiology, this ophthalmologist offers pearls of wisdom on various techniques--including their pitfalls. A final chapter contributed by New York colleagues addresses complications in this surgical specialty area. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Reviewer:Jeffrey S. Rosenthal, MD(Bridgeport Hospital)
Description:This is a cogent example of a well written and illustrated book that can be assimilated in a single gulp without leaving the reader oversaturated.
Purpose:The desire of the author is to create a small atlas format, written in a unified voice, which relies upon basic eyelid and periocular anatomy and physiology to assist in demystifying relevant surgical techniques. The format and presentation style meet these noble objectives and assuage any fears that the information presented will be anything but a worthwhile read.
Audience:Practicing plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists and those practitioners who delve into lid and periocular surgery will benefit from a detailed perusal of this book. More nascent physicians will also benefit from this book; however, they will require additional guidance and experience before undertaking surgery.
Features:The 13 chapters highlight many of the procedures and techniques necessary to perform lid and periocular surgery; especially conditions arising from the normal aging process and those found in more pathologic circumstances, i.e. lid ptosis, entropion and ectropion. Relevant physical examination, anatomy, and physiology are discussed along with the author's preferred methods. Ideally, one would use this book as an instrument of learning rather than an all inclusive treatise on these topics. The vast majority of this book is centered upon the structures of the eyelid; although, the eyebrow, mid face and cranio-orbital topics are also reviewed. Pearls and pitfalls concludes each chapter, allowing for a rapid summation of the information presented.
Assessment:Readers will undoubtedly find this book to their liking. It thoughtfully presents relevant information in the field.
