Book Description

Publication Date: January 1994 | ISBN-10: 0781700965 | ISBN-13: 978-0781700962 | Edition: 3 Sub

Updated and revised to reflect the latest basic research, cumulative clinical experience, and technical advances in both diagnosis and treatment, "Orbital Tumors" provides coverage of the gamut of orbital tumours. Noted Mayo Clinic specialists in ophthalmology and pathology present etiology-specific approaches to comprehensive patient management - from initial presentation to post-operative rehabilitation and follow-up. Of special note: The Third Edition surveys case reports on 1,376 patients treated at the Clinic, and also reviews available follow-up data on some of the original cohorts. Drawing on this surgical and clinical experience, the authors formulate guides, which encompass, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, imaging methods, the laboratory tumor markers, recommended biopsy procedures and specimen analysis, correlation of diagnostic findings, indicated surgical and/or nonsurgical interventions, common surgical pitfalls and perioperative complications, rehabilitation, follow-up, and prognosis. New to the third edition are details of: soft tissue imaging methods suitable for preoperative assessment; immunohistochemistry, monoclonal antibodies, and molecular genetic analysis in the classification and histopathologic identification of orbital lesions; promising adjuvant chemotherapy regimens and current patient selection criteria; the relative merits of orbitotomy and orbitectomy in surgical management; plus an upgraded programme of illustrations - 556 in all, 23 in full colour - including CT scans, sonograms, radiographs, clinical and intraoperative photographs, photomicrographs, anatomic drawings, and more.

This review is from: Henderson's Orbital Tumors (Hardcover)

If you want a book on orbital tumors, this is the one to get. Your options are this book, the Karcioglu book, the Shields book, or Rootmans book on orbital disease. I found this book to be the best. Why? It does a nice job or presenting the worlds litature and the Mayo experience on rare orbital tumors. The Shields book is mainly a picture book with only minimal text or literature review. The Karcioglu book I found to be uninspiring, and Rootmans book while good, can be nauseatingly over done at times (particularly the first chapters describing his approach and classification of orbital processes).

Hendersons is a classic, and would be my first choice for good coverage of rare and common orbital tumors. If you are looking for a book specific to orbital surgery, than this is not your book. The only decent book on orbital surgery out there is Rootman's book.
