| Summary |
Filling a gap in the present inventory of Plastic Surgery Textbooks, this compact, practice-oriented study guide delivers comprehensive, clear and up-to-date information on all the basics of plastic surgery in clinical practice. Methodological rigor, together with a lean style and layout were chosen; boxes and teaching objectives are included to help memorize fundamentals. Starting from basics such as the physiology and pathology of skin and wound healing, suture techniques, dressings and dermal substitutes, grafts, flaps and microsurgical techniques, the textbook then tackles topics including malformations, skin cancer, and traumas like burns and wounds. The respective contributions were written by American, British, Italian, German, Korean and Taiwanese teaching experts in the field. Over 250 full color illustrations, line drawings, and videos support the main text: accordingly, this textbook will appeal to advanced, upper-undergraduate students and residents preparing for plastic and reconstructive surgery in-training.
