This book has been written with the intention of providing the reader with a pragmatic approach to the diagnosis and management of patients presenting with a broad range of oculoplastic, orbital, and lacrimal problems. Although aimed primarily at the ophthalmologist with a special interest in the subject, it should prove very useful to clinicians of all grades and experience in a number of other specialties that share an interest in the fields of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, orbital and lacrimal surgery:
- Plastic surgeons
- Maxillofacial surgeons
- ENT surgeons
- Neurosurgeons
- Dermatologists and dermatological surgeons
- Radiologists
The reader should already have acquired a basic knowledge of eyelid, orbital, and facial anatomy and should seek to expand this knowledge as much as possible. As the eye, periocular area, and orbit represent a major crossroads of surgical anatomical dissection, the surgeon who wishes to contribute to this field should acquire a very detailed knowledge of the anatomy of this area and its adjacent structures. Applied anatomy relevant to each disorder and to each surgical procedure is presented in a dedicated chapter and the operative procedures described are based on anatomical principles as much as possible.
Important principles are highlighted in the text as key points in boxes. Pertinent clinical signs, investigations, surgical indications, important technical considerations, and complications receive appropriate emphasis in each chapter. The surgical techniques and procedures described are not exhaustive but represent those most commonly used in the author’s own surgical practice. The text is accompanied by a considerable number of high-quality color photographs and complementary original illustrations. References have not been cited throughout the text; instead, further reading lists have been provided at the end of each chapter to serve as a starting point for those who may wish to pursue additional information.

Book Review
There are many books in print addressing surgery in the periocular region, but this second edition of Oculoplastic Surgery is a must for all readers that want a refreshing and comprehensive approach to these surgical procedures. Brian Leatherbarrow brings a different perspective due to his combined training in England with Mr. Richard Collin and in the United States with Dr. Jeffrey Nerad and myself. During my time with Brian, I noted that he always approached patients in an organized manner based on facial and periorbital anatomical relationships. I have adopted some of his approaches, which have improved the surgical care of patients in my practice. Brian combines the best of his training and shares his 20 years of surgical practice in this book.
This second edition continues the practical approach to the diagnosis and management of a variety of oculoplastic, orbital, and lacrimal challenges. Brian shares his experience through the complete and anatomically-based descriptions of surgical procedures that have brought satisfactory results to his patients over the years. The chapters are comprehensive with regard to clinical presentations, patient selection, surgical indications, technical aspects of procedures, salient features for successful procedures, and potential complications. His narrative is exquisitely accented with both illustrations and numerous color photos of procedures and patients. Each chapter ends with suggested reading for further investigation. This approach provides an engaging presentation for the interested reader and a concise method of teaching that guides you to successful surgical procedures. This book adds to our understanding of the treatment of patients with oculoplastic conditions.
I congratulate Brian for undertaking the enormous task of a second edition to an already excellent textbook. There are ample improvements in this edition that will satisfy readers from any field with an interest in the area of oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery.
