Global Oculoplastics: A Guide to the Care of Patients in Resource-Poor Environments

Editat de Morris E Hartstein, Cat Nguyen Burkat
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 dec 2024
Global Oculoplastics provides details on addressing a large range of oculofacial plastic procedures with a focus on situations in the resource-poor setting where there may be minimal equipment or supplies. Through comprehensive descriptions, photographs, diagrams, and illustrations, practitioners will gain practical knowledge essential for providing high-quality care under challenging conditions. In addition, for those wishing to effect systemic change, there are chapters about working successfully in complicated medical situations worldwide. This book is organized into two distinct parts. Part 1 delves into the foundational aspects of global ophthalmology, addressing why cultural sensitivity, ethics, and collaboration with local partners are crucial. It also prepares professionals for working in environments with limited resources, such as unreliable electricity, water, and sterilization facilities. Part 2 shifts focus to the practical application of oculoplastic techniques. It covers various conditions encountered during global missions and offers guidance on delivering effective surgical care with limited resources and implants. This book is designed to be a critical resource for practitioners facing the daily challenges of addressing complex oculofacial issues in resource-poor settings. Its straightforward, yet thorough, "how-to" method descriptions will be particularly useful for surgeons tackling a wide range of oculoplastic conditions.


  • Provides an in-depth overview of the unique challenges and opportunities faced by ophthalmologists working in developing countries
  • Offers step-by-step practical surgical techniques which can be used in locales with minimal resources and unpredictable conditions
  • Provides insights for traveling physicians on understanding and integrating with local cultures, ensuring sensitive and socially-informed care
