A step-by-step manual on the use of reconstructive surgery flaps – from planning to execution
Written by pioneering, world-renowned flap surgeons, this is the quintessential manual on reconstructive flaps – with detailed, easy-to-follow instructions. Overview chapters on each central anatomical area provide a general approach to reconstruction, with detailed tutorials on workhorse flaps in the A to Z section. The didactic text is enhanced with high-quality operative photographs, illustrations, and videos, resulting in a resource that enables the integration of these techniques into surgical practice.
Key Highlights
- Progressive intraoperative photos and superb illustrations guide the reader through safe and efficacious flap approaches
- Planning and decision-making chapters cover basic principles, microsurgery, imaging, and an overview of current options
- The flaps section details the multivariate usages of microsurgical flaps, pedicled flaps, perforator flaps, and more
- Videos focus on the anatomy and basic principles of technique for a range of common flaps, further delineating and simplifying flap surgery for the practitioner
- The Masterclasses section is packed with state-of-the-art innovations, personal experience, and insights on managing challenging reconstructions
This book is a stellar, step-by-step guide on reconstructing most anatomical defects using clinically proven flaps. It is an essential reference for practicing and trainee surgeons in general and specialized surgical disciplines. Plastic and reconstructive, trauma/burn, orthopedic, otolaryngology-head and neck, and maxillofacial surgeons will significantly benefit from this comprehensive resource.
