The most current, complete, and relevant reference
available to date in the fast-changing field of
plastic and reconstructive surgery.
A new full-color design throughout,
with redrawn illustrations, color figures, and vibrant
clinical photographs, enhances the clinical usefulness of the text.
Seven new chapters in Volume 1
cover recent developments in the f, supraclavicular artery
island flap for head and neck oncologic reconstruction and sensate thoracodorsal artery perforator flap.
Updated content
on innovative perforator flaps that have led to more versatile flap designs in
nearly all areas of the body, with the added benefit of limiting donor site morbidity and expanded
applications of “propeller” flaps.
New information
on vascularized lymph node flap transfer and new neurotized and composite
flaps for multiple anatomic locations, including the hand.
Chapters on less commonly used flaps moved online
to preserve the encyclopedic scope of the
reference, yet also maintain a manageable size in the print edition.
Clinically useful editorial comments throughout
that reflect the four editors’ more than 100 years
of collective experience.
