Editorial Review for "Surgical Anatomy of the Orbit"

Surgical Anatomy of the Orbit Book Cover
Surgical Anatomy of the Orbit

This outstanding pictorial reference vividly captures the surgeon’s view of the orbital and periorbital structures.

Drs. Jelks and Zide–leading authorities in ophthalmic and plastic surgery–bring you an unprecedented collection of 77 full-color photographs of fresh dissections, juxtaposed with full-color paintings of the surgical anatomy.

This innovative combination of fresh tissue preparations and surgical drawings affords a much more realistic view of the complexities of this anatomy than found in standard atlases which depict embalmed dry specimens. The illustrations are carefully labeled and methodically organized for easy reference and presurgical review. Clear descriptive captions provide the surgeon with helpful guidelines to correlate with clinical material.

This unique large-size atlas represents the orbit and surrounding soft tissues as they might actually be seen during an operative procedure. This method provides a complete preview of the prospective surgical site for both the seasoned surgeon and the resident in training. The comprehensive presentation is also ideal for anatomic study in preparation for board certification.

Practice Closure & Retirement

After more than 40 years of practicing medicine together, Drs. Elizabeth and Glenn Jelks have made the decision to retire and will be closing Glenn W. Jelks, M.D., P.C. (the “Practice”) as of August 31, 2026. We will no longer be able to provide medical care after that date.

Caring for you has been an extraordinary privilege, and we remain deeply grateful for the trust you placed in us. The Practice has always been intentionally small and personal, and the relationships we’ve built through the years are more than words can express.

Your continued care is important. We encourage you to establish care with a board-certified plastic surgeon or appropriate specialist who aligns with your goals.

Your medical records will remain confidential and securely maintained for six years, or as otherwise required by applicable law, after the Practice closes. During this time, if you would like a copy of your records or wish to have them released to your new provider, please complete this request form, which includes an authorization for your completion.

We extend to you our best wishes for your future health and happiness.

Warm regards,
Glenn W Jelks MD
Elizabeth B Jelks MD
