Brazzo, Cohen, and Mercandetti have honored me by inviting me to write the Foreword to their new textbook on Lacrimal Surgery and I am honored to do so. Although there has been a recent proliferation of new publications in the field of ophthalmic and facial plastic surgery, the expansion of our specialty, the refinement of surgical procedures, and new technology warrant the production of these new works. The authors, with whom I am well acquainted, are gifted and inno-vative surgeons in their own right. They have invited an illustrious group of surgeons to produce a work that is well organized and well written. The concepts and techniques presented represent the state of the art of lacrimal diagnosis and surgery. There is mention of lacrimal infection dating back to the Code of Hammurabi in 2250 BC, but it was not until the late 1800s that real progress began to be made. Toti, an ENT surgeon in Florence, Italy, described external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) with turbinectomy and creation of an osteotomy in the early 1900s. Around 1911, Whitnall described the anatomy. Subsequently, endonasal procedures were described and more recently, the use of lasers was introduced. Transcanalicular laser-assisted DCR, although in its infancy, repre-sents an incredible breakthrough in the field. Our own group, while working at the University of Oviedo in Spain, has for five years been working with this procedure and the results, albeit not long-term, have been gratifying. This work truly represents the “codification” of the developments in the field. The authors and editors are to be congratulated for producing a work of this quality. I am sure it will endure for years to come. Frank A. Nesi, MD vii ... - tailieumienphi.vn
