Reconstructive Plastic Surgery: An Atlas of Essential Procedures

A reader-friendly, how-to guide on reconstructive plastic surgery from international experts

Reconstructive Plastic Surgery: An Atlas of Essential Procedures edited by esteemed authors, educators, and surgeons Robert X. Murphy Jr. and Charles K. Herman is a comprehensive resource detailing head-to-toe surgical procedures for a broad range of conditions. The senior editors have more than 50 years of collective surgical experience and expertise training hundreds of medical students and plastic surgery residents. A distinguished and diverse group of contributors from more than 15 countries and five continents share clinical pearls throughout the book.

Sixty-seven chapters organized in five sections start with head and neck chapters detailing cleft palate defects and repair, followed by functional rhinoplasty, neoplasms, and trauma. Section two encompasses breast reduction/reconstruction techniques and other breast deformities; and management of trunk ulcers, deep wounds, and defects. The hand and upper extremity section details reconstructive techniques for infections, trauma, and Dupuytren's contracture. The final two sections cover a wide spectrum of nerve-related conditions and syndromes, followed by burns, melanoma, and vascular anomalies.

Key Features:

·    High-quality illustrations and intraoperative photographs enhance understanding of step-by-step operative procedures

·    More than 30 procedural videos provide hands-on guidance on how to perform specific steps in reconstructive plastic surgery

·    A broad range of reconstructive techniques cover trauma, tumor resection, burns, congenital deformities, and degenerative conditions
