Orbital Surgery: A Conceptual Approach
( This color atlas is a unique visual learning tool for t...)
This color atlas is a unique visual learning tool for the surgeon planning and performing orbital operative procedures. Featuring more than 500 full-color drawings and photographs and nearly 200 radiographic images, the book enables the surgeon to visualize the anatomic structures of the orbit, the pathologic changes affecting these structures, and the surgical techniques used for specific problems. The text and graphic presentation aid the surgeon in developing a thorough understanding of anatomy, pathology, and surgical technique and applying this knowledge in surgical decision-making.Emphasis throughout is on the dynamic nature of the surgical decision-making process and the reasoning the skillful surgeon uses to adapt surgical techniques to the problem at hand. The authors emphasize pathologic change both from an investigative point of view and within the surgical environment by linking drawings to actual cases.The book begins with a review of the principles of surgical management, including indications for orbital surgery, clinicopathologic concepts, general techniques, lesion-specific management, and disease-specific indications for orbital surgery. An atlas of orbital anatomy presents a complete, detailed surgeon's-eye view of the orbital and periorbital structures. An atlas of orbital surgery depicts regional approaches to the anterior orbit, mid-orbit, and apical orbit and techniques for combined orbital and periorbital lesions; exenteration; and decompression for thyroid orbitopathy.A slide set of Orbital Surgery will also be available from Lippincott-Raven.

Orbital Surgery: A Conceptual Approach

This 2nd edition of Orbital Surgery is actually three books in one. It’s an overview on orbital diseases, an anatomical atlas, and a surgical atlas. Using a conceptual model, along with more than 800 photographic and hand-drawn illustrations this book provides the reader with a clear description of the factors to consider when deciding on the proper approach to lesions anywhere in and surrounding the orbit. There’s also an online site with full text and image bank. Illustrations by Bruce Stewart. FEATURES: • Offers a philosophy of approach to the surgical management of diseases of the orbit • Over 800 illustrations, 600 of which are in full-color • On-line component includes full text and image bank. • Takes a decision-making approach to approaching orbital lesions

This Second Edition text focuses on a case-based learning approach that features decision-making information presented in algorithmic format. Sections covered are the anatomy of the orbit, pathophysiologic and anatomic principles in classifying, diagnosing and investigating orbital disease, diseases of the orbit, and the management of those diseases. New topics include orbital ultrasound, gamma scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, incidence of lesions by location, management of complex vascular lesions, granulomatous inflammations of the orbit, and orbital atrophy. A conceptual model is presented and a new classification scheme discussed.
