Facial Plastic, Reconstructive and Trauma Surgery

Аннотация

This book began as an attempt to impart relevant basic and advanced information on subjects in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery to otolaryngology– head and neck surgery residents in training. Many of these residents felt that an organized text to study facial plastic surgery that included all aspects of this specialty including cosmetic, reconstructive, and trauma surgery was needed. Indeed, I have spoken to and assisted in the training of residents from all the specialties in facial plastic surgery and they have voiced this same need. An inclusive text avoids redundancy and has consistent organization and presentation. Since facial plastic surgery encompasses an enormous volume of knowledge and expertise, many authors from a variety of specialties have made significant contributions. I have made every effort to edit the text to eliminate irrelevant information and include basic information to orient the reader to the subject. This book is not intended to be a surgical atlas, but multiple figures, tables, and glossaries are included to add to the understanding of the text.
