The volumes in this reviewed series, formerly called 'Advances in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery', feature extensive overview and original articles on current developments in plastic reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Papers are especially designed to help the practitioner keep up with recent advances in the field and elaborate on their importance for everyday practice. The areas of major progress selected for volume 17 include vertical mammaplasty, structural fat grafting of the face, augmentation gluteoplasty, complete bilateral cleft lip-nasal deformity, the role of conduits in the repair of peripheral nerve injuries and advances in otoplasty. Further chapters include a review of nerve transfers and a discussion of the role and benefits of silicones in topical therapy on the skin. Recognized specialists in the field have again contributed to this publication, making the information presented easily accessible and providing step-by-step guides enhanced by detailed illustrations.
This volume focuses on such topics as aesthetic plastic surgery of the face, calf implantation, silicone breast implants, angiosomes and extension of skin flaps, liposuction, cranial sutures, tenorrhaphy evaluation, and malpractice. Chapters, three of which are followed by editorial comments, review new and old principles, and some provide a history of procedures. The editors continue to address important, controversial topics and, in doing so, are providing a significant forum for communication and interaction between plastic surgeons and their colleagues in other medical disciplines.
From automobile accidents to sports injuries, this reference covers severe lacerations of the facial skin to extreme injuries of the underlying skeleton, nasal and oral lining, and dental structures-offering a multidisciplinary and hands-on approach to the management, reconstruction, and restoration of a wide variety of soft tissue wounds and fractures of the face in both children and adults
Path-Breaking Work in Plastic and Reconstructive Microsurgery by Dr. Doina Dumitrescu-Ionescu was reviewed by David Soutar for The Royal College of Surgeons of England: “This is a refreshingly original and unusual text. It is a testament to the life work of the author and her struggle to develop clinical microsurgery in Rumania. It takes the reader on a journey starting with learning the basic techniques of microsurgery, laboratory and experimental research, teaching and training. It then progresses to the building of an infrastructure for development and clinical practice, the maintenance of meticulous records and the evaluation of results. As such, the book is a very personal account wri...

A patient's job is to tell the physician what hurts, and the physician's job is to fix it. But how does the physician know what is wrong? What becomes of the patient's story when the patient becomes a case? Addressing readers on both sides of the patient-physician encounter, Kathryn Hunter looks at medicine as an art that relies heavily on telling and interpreting a story--the patient's story of illness and its symptoms.
