    Synopsis

    Sharpen your facial surgery skills--by mastering the design and execution of flaps

    This practical, all-encompassing sourcebook demystifies the planning and execution of flaps for anyone performing facial surgery. Written by leading facial surgery experts, the book starts with an introductory chapter that highlights the basic principles common to all flaps. Next, you'll get an in-depth look at flap physiology and random flap patterns, such as advancement and rotation flaps, split- and full-thickness grafts, the repair of eyelids, ears, and lips, the replacement of nasal lining and support, and free flaps.

    The high-yield coverage features multiple options for any procedure, and is supported by a quick-access format that features lines and arrows superimposed on full-color patient photos--a convenient tool that helps you visualize the design and movement of flaps.

    Features

  • A step-by-step, technique-driven presentation that deepens your understanding of facial surgery involving flaps
  • A skill-building presentation of multiple close options--including the pros and cons of each
  • A graphic outline of each flap, accompanied by patient photos that include superimposed lines and arrows showing how the flap is designed
  • Highly instructive, up-to-date chapters on random pattern flaps: advancement, rotation, transposition, and interpolation flaps
  • Important coverage of split- and full-thickness grafts
  • Unique single-chapter coverage of the retracted eyelid repair and ectropion
  • Approximately 500 full-color photographs throughout

  • And much more!

    Doody Review Services

    Reviewer:Jon C Starr, MD (Stanford University Medical Center)
    Description:This advanced text presents a unique and thoughtful approach to reconstruction of soft tissue wounds of the head and neck.
    Purpose:The purpose is to present the author's philosophy on how to reconstruct wounds of the head and neck area. This is an excellent presentation on how one talented and creative surgeon approaches very challenging tasks. After reading this book, a skin surgeon will understand how the author analyzes and executes his plans.
    Audience:The author's goal was to write a book for both beginning and advanced skin surgeons. However, most of the illustrative wounds and techniques are well beyond the beginning surgeon's level. Rather, the book seems more appropriate for the experienced skin surgeon with a strong foundation in basic tissue movement techniques. There are also many interesting and enlightening discussions for the advanced surgeon.
    Features:The majority of the book reviews reconstruction of soft tissue wounds of the head and neck. It also provides information on repair of mucosal and cartilaginous defects. The first part of the book is by far the most useful and educational as it presents the author's unique and creative approach to soft tissue defects. The later chapters, while necessary for completeness, focus on more complicated reconstructions and are repetitive of what is already published.
    Assessment:I like this book and have shared it with dermatology residents as a teaching tool on how one can approach reconstructing wounds. The text is straightforward, clearly written, concise, and not burdenedwith the extraneous information that is commonly found in many books (equipment, perioperative instructions, consents, anatomy, etc.) .
