Reconstructive Dermatologic Surgery

Description

Reconstructive Dermatologic Surgery is a practical guide for dermatologists edited by internationally recognised, San Diego-based experts in the field.

Divided into 25 chapters across three sections, this book begins with a section on designing a dermatologic surgery office, from the physical space and equipment, to pre-operative considerations such as anaesthesia, and post-operative considerations including bandaging and wound care. This section also includes chapters on suturing techniques, various flaps procedures, skin, cartilage and composite grafts. The second section focuses on reconstructive surgery for each anatomical site, including nose, periorbital, lip, cheek, forehead, ear, scalp and hand. The final section of the book covers post-operative management in detail, including procedures for scar refinement.

Reconstructive Dermatologic Surgery features 200 full colour images, enhancing this ideal resource for residents, fellows and experienced dermatologic surgeons.
