Editorial Review:

This outstanding pictorial reference vividly captures the surgeon's view of the orbital and periorbital structures. Drs. Zide and Jelks--leading authorities in ophthalmic and plastic surgery--bring you an unprecedented collection of 77 full-color photographs of fresh dissections, juxtaposed with full-color paintings of the surgical anatomy. This innovative combination of fresh tissue preparations and surgical drawings affords a much more realistic view of the complexities of this anatomy than found in standard atlases which depict embalmed dry specimens. The illustrations are carefully labeled and methodically organized for easy reference and presurgical review. Clear descriptive captions provide the surgeon with helpful guidelines to correlate with clinical material. This unique large-size atlas represents the orbit and surrounding soft tissues as they might actually be seen during an operative procedure. This method provides a complete preview of the prospective surgical site for both the seasoned surgeon and the resident in training. The comprehensive presentation is also ideal for anatomic study in preparation for board certification. A slide set containing 117 slides of full-color illustrations from the book is also available. This unique slide set is an excellent teaching aid and a valuable addition to a professional library.

Excellent text:

A must have surgical anatomy atlas especially for orbital trauma. The illustrations and pictured fresh cadaver specimens completely cover relevant orbital anatomy for surgical approaches involving the orbit. The included disc media is a nice supplement. Agree with other review - highly recommended.

An excellent surgical atlas with outstanding dissections and explanations of relevant topics:

This book is an outstanding surgical anatomy atlas. The fresh-frozen cadavers are beautifully dissected, discussions are thoughtful, illustrations are well used, and the section on blocks is very helpful. The chapters on the lower eyelid and the facial nerve are truly outstanding. Together with the forehead anatomy book by Knize, these two books belong on the shelf of every oculofacial plastic surgeon. The CD with photos and illustrations is a nice bonus. Overall, I highly recommend it.
