Modern oculofacial plastic surgery as a field is quite young, with the majority of the literature and leaders in the field developing since the 1950s. As such, the body of literature is quite small compared to other fields. Currently, there is no unified source where readers can learn about the core manuscripts that drive clinical decision-making and influence thought.
This book gathers over 50 foundational studies in the oculoplastics field and provides commentary on each study. Discussion of each study includes the abstract, in-depth commentary on the strengths, limitations, and implications of each paper, and guidance for further reading on the topic with a brief review. A short remark by an author from the paper will provide additional color commentary on the inspirations and challenges involved in conceiving and conducting the study.
Foundational Papers in Oculoplastics is relevant for anyone who is interested in oculoplastics (ophthalmologists, oncologists, plastic surgeons, etc.) and provides a nice overview of the field with interesting personal anecdotes from those who helped establish it.

Dr. Sathyadeepak (Deepak) Ramesh, MD is a nationally and internationally recognized expert in Orbital and Oculofacial Plastic Surgery. He is in private practice in Somerset, NJ, and is a member of the Orbital and Oculoplastics Service at Wills Eye Hospital.
After completing his residency at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, Dr. Ramesh was selected to pursue a two-year oculofacial, orbital, cosmetic, and reconstructive surgery fellowship at the prestigious Jules Stein Eye Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he trained under the auspices of world-class surgeons at UCLA and Beverly Hills.
Dr. Ramesh has authored numerous scientific articles and book chapters in topics including thyroid eye disease, orbital tumors, vascular malformations, facial fracture repair, endoscopic skull base surgery, and facial cosmetic surgery, pioneered new surgical techniques, presented at national and international meetings, and has served as a faculty instructor for the annual Orbital Surgery Master’s Symposium and the Aesthetic Eyelid and Facial Rejuvenation Courses.
