An ideal resource for both the novice and experienced surgeon, Practical Facial Reconstruction: Theory and Practice is a practical, step-by-step guide to facial repair, written by a highly experienced authority in the field. In this fully updated Second Edition, Dr. Andrew Kaufman walks you through decision making in repair design and execution, offering tips, pearls, and key points that make seemingly complicated flaps less complicated, and repairs more aesthetic and functionally successful. Abundant illustrations and numerous new videos provide real-world visual guidance on soft tissue facial reconstruction.
Key Features
- Covers cheek, forehead, nose, lip, ear, and eyelid reconstruction, with ample pearls, tips, and key points for each repair
- Walks you through the thought process of evaluating a surgical defect, analyzing it, and designing and executing the repair to achieve optimal functional and cosmetic results
- Shares Dr. Kaufman’s personal tips, tricks, and pearls for every repair, with the goal of simplifying and demystifying many useful reconstruction techniques
- Features hundreds of high-quality, step-by-step photographs and line drawings throughout, plus more than 30 all-new procedural videos
- Covers simpler as well as more complex repairs, including bilobed transposition flaps, helical rim advancement flaps, unilateral and bilateral rotation flaps, cartilage grafts on the nose, rhombic transposition flaps, melolabial transposition flaps, advancement flaps on the nose, lips, eyebrow, and forehead, island advancement flaps, and much more
- Provides a unique theoretical and practical framework for identifying defects and developing a reconstructive plan that can be applied to a wide variety of situations beyond those covered in the book
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
