DESCRIPTION
Still the most comprehensive reference available on surgical flaps, this classic text remains your go-to source for
practical, authoritative guidance on achieving the best possible outcomes for your patients. The second volume
in the thoroughly revised 4th Edition combines the previous edition’s volumes two and three into one all-new,
full-color format that greatly enhances its visual appeal and usefulness in your everyday practice. Dozens of in-
ternationally recognized experts describe every clinical proven flap option available for repairing both routine and
unusual problems, lavishly illustrated with clinical photographs and diagrams of anatomy, blood supply, flap de-
sign, and operative procedures.
Volume 2 of Grabb’s Encyclopedia of Flaps, 4th Edition, covers Upper Extremities, Torso, Pelvis, and
Lower Extremities. For complete coverage of every anatomic area, please order the 2-Volume set.
FEATURES
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.
Twenty-five new chapters in Volume 2
cover recent developments in the field, including, fat
grafting for breast reconstruction revision and split gluteal muscle flap for autoprosthesis buttock
augmentation.
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 applica-
tions 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.
