This classic reference presents the principles and practices of plastic surgery with practical guidance for surgeons and clinicians alike, drawn from decades of experience.

It emphasizes transplantation concepts, prosthetic options, and the care of complex defects in both civil and war-related injuries. Richly illustrated, it offers detailed techniques and safety notes to support careful, effective patient care.

• Review management of skull and craniofacial defects, prosthetic options, and strategies to minimize complications.
• Find practical guidance on wounds, burns, ulcers, scars, and malformations, with step-by-step techniques and post-operative care.
