The 8 recurring volumes of the "Essentials in Ophthalmology" series cover the most recent developments in one of eight subspecialties in Ophthalmology. With four volumes published per year, each subspecialty is newly visited every 24 months, with a distinct focus on recent developments. By bridging the gap between original research and medical textbooks, the transfer of this developing knowledge into daily practice is greatly enhanced.

Th is third volume of Oculoplastic and Orbital Surgery promises to challenge the reader with stimulating new concepts at the cutting edge of this subspecialty. A variety of innovative techniques is described in this volume, covering both cosmetic and functional aspects of oculoplastic and orbital surgery.

Pearls in cosmetic and oculofacialplastic surgery are presented in great detail, based on extensive experience. Rather than presenting merely anecdotal solutions, specifi c steps are outlined for problem solving in this rapidly evolving field.

Th e latest therapies in the management of capillary hemangiomas, periorbital infections, and orbital and periorbital malignancies using specifi c targeted therapies demonstrate the increasingly important interaction between ophthalmic plastic surgery and the broad field of modern oncology.
