Book reviews 6oI including their differential diagnoses and possible treatments.There follows a section on basic techniques such as wound closure, Z-plasty, rotation and trans- position flaps.The second half of the book is on the actual procedures which can be used in individual areas and this is amply illustrated with clear line diagrams.Only six pages are specifically devoted to eyelid surgery, but the book aims at covering a wide field and is not just for ophthalmologists.Although it is entirely written in German, the illustrations are easy to interpret and the 520 references make it a useful intro- duction to the techniques of and indications for plastic surgery.
