Eyelid surgery is a highly practical procedure that plays a crucial role in the reconstruction process following various conditions that affect the periocular area. One such condition is skin malignancies, which often require excision followed by eyelid reconstruction. Periocular trauma is another common occurrence, particularly due to the intricate regional anatomy of the area. Due to the unpredictable nature of defects left after Mohs micrographic surgeons clear tumor margins or in cases of trauma, preparation by ophthalmic plastic surgeons prior to periorbital reconstruction is often not feasible.

To address this gap in the literature, Suzanne Freitag, along with esteemed coeditors N. Grace Lee, Daniel Lefebvre, and Michael Yoon, has published Eyelid Reconstruction: A Comprehensive Guide. This book serves as a valuable resource for ophthalmic plastic surgeons, providing a quick and practical guide on planning and performing a full spectrum of periocular reconstruction procedures.

The textbook is a compilation of patient cases and the authors' extensive and diverse expertise. It begins with two chapters that cover complex periorbital anatomy and basic surgical principles, which are essential for ensuring safe and effective surgery. The third chapter provides a comprehensive overview of Mohs surgery in the periorbital area, as many defect reconstructions are secondary to Mohs micrographic surgical excisions. Subsequent chapters are organized by anatomic region, featuring detailed discussions of surgical approaches for reconstructions of various size and depth defects. The final chapter focuses on eyelid trauma repair, including lid margin and lacrimal lacerations.

Key Features:
