Foreword: Keeping Eyelid Surgery
https://t.me/medicina_free
Simple—A Surgical Manual
Many medical texts attempt to cover all issues and repeat concepts prevalent at
the time of writing—including those ideas that are ill-conceived or, in some cases,
clearly wrong. As thoughts change slowly with time, this leads to most textbooks
becoming out-of-date fairly soon and requiring frequent revision if to remain of
value.
It therefore is particularly refreshing to have a manual of eyelid surgery using
a frank and logical teaching of principles and practice, this arising through the
author’s evolution as a surgeon and based on decades of practical experience. A
lesson is usually best remembered where teaching is presented with a touch of
humour, and in a well-explained fashion: To do the latter requires an enquiring
and objective mind (as mathematician Alfred North Whitehead said, “It requires
a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious”), and to provide
the former requires a slight sense of mischief and humour. For the 40 years we
have been acquainted, Ok Thaller has certainly shown both the analytical and a
humorous mindset!
The author is not afraid to discuss experience learnt through both good and
bad results, and many of his ideas were ahead of their time, challenging the common attitude of “that is the way it has always been done”? Einstein said, “the
only source of knowledge is experience”, and this condensation of the author’s
life experience provides an invaluable—and enjoyable—resource for both trainee
and more experienced surgeons. We must congratulate and thank Ok Thaller for
condensing the broad spectrum of eyelid surgery into a practical and highly readable manual, and remember that “a person who never made a mistake never tried
anything new” (Einstein). It is very clear that the author has tried many new things,
very wisely learnt from any such misjudgements, and has had the courage to pass
on this knowledge to the next generation. We “all build on the shoulders of giants”,
and this book is not only a delight to read, but also a particularly thoughtful foundation on which we can continue to build a better future for those trusting in our
care.

Preface
https://t.me/medicina_free
Why?
Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.
—Oscar Wilde
I admit to not being an avid reader of textbooks, probably because I still read in
the way I was taught to as a child. In mitigation, it may be that most textbooks
were not written to be read, merely consulted. Either way, what follows is a basic
surgical manual, not a textbook!
Similarly, I have yet to outgrow the annoying childhood habit of always asking
“Why?”. Often, I am surprised by the lack of clear answers. Now, at the end of a
career’s worth of surgical “experience”, I feel honour bound to attempt at least to
pass on my few, hard gained, answers. Although we are each destined make our
own mistakes, all must start from somewhere. I consider this manual to be as good
a starting point as any. May it set you on the right path.

Acknowledgements I thank my many teachers for all they have taught me and for their kind
forbearance at my endless questions. I include patients among my teachers. I have learnt much from
them. The National Health service, for all its imperfections, is a wonderful altruistic organisation
whose dedicated staff have supported me throughout my career and made me look forward to each
working day. And last but not least I thank my dear wife Linda for her unwavering support and
understanding.
