Surgical Anatomy of the Ocular Adnexa is a beautifully and thoughtfully illustrated anatomical text that provides the ophthalmic surgeon or any surgeon working in the eyelid/orbital region with detailed yet concise, easy to read and understand descriptions of the anatomy in any particular region of the eyelid, orbit or nasolacrimal system. Throughout the text are clinical pearls and vignettes to help the reader appreciate why certain anatomical features are important to understand. Key anatomical concepts are highlighted and easy to visualize with real cadaver photos as well as the artists rendition of the same region. This book: - Develops a thorough understanding of the anatomy in the eyelid, orbit, nasolacriaml and periocular regions. - Fosters an appreciation of how knowledge of the anatomy leads to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of various disease processes involving the eyelid, orbit, nasolacrimal and periocular region. - Conveys the importance of anatomy in the surgical approach to various disease processes in the eyelid, orbit, nasolacrimal and periocular regions. This second edition will be an invaluable guidel to all those working in the eyelid, orbital, and nasolacrimal areas including residents, fellows and staff in ophthalmology, otolaryngology/head and neck surgery, plastic surgery and neurosurgeons working in and around the orbit.

Objective To review new devices and drugs relevant to otolaryngology–head and neck surgery that were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019. Data Sources Approval notifications for 2019 were extracted from the ENT (ear, nose, and throat) and general and plastic surgery sections of the FDA’s medical devices and therapeutics listings. Review Methods New therapeutics and medical devices identified from the query were analyzed by members of the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery’s Medical Devices and Drugs Committee. Technologies were assessed by 2 independent reviewers to ascertain relevance to otolaryngology, prioritized, and classified to subspecialty field with critical review based on extant scientific literature. Conclusions Query of the FDA drug and device database returned 105 ENT devices (50 cleared, 55 with premarket approval, and 0 de novo), 543 general and plastic surgery devices (372 cleared, 170 with premarket approval, and 1 de novo), and 46 new otolaryngology-relevant drug approvals that occurred in 2019. Advances spanned all subspecialty areas with otology predominating, primarily due to hearing-related technologies. While scientific evidence was available for all new devices, there was significant heterogeneity in rigor of supporting scientific data. Implications for Practice Technological and pharmaceutical innovation is an important catalyst for advances in the surgical specialties. Familiarity with new devices and therapeutics in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery ensures that clinicians keep abreast of developments with potential to improve prevailing standards of care.
