Introducing the book that bridges the gap between a dermatologic surgery textbook and a dedicated flap and reconstructive guide

Dermatologic Surgery is a unique resource that offers the benefits of both a single-volume multi-author global dermatologic surgery textbook and a dedicated flap and reconstructive reference. Conveniently organized by flap type as well as regional approach, it offers by far the most comprehensive flap and reconstruction sections of any general dermatologic surgery book. 

The book’s content breakdown attempts to reflect the proportion of time, effort, and training required for a given subject. For example, there are five full chapters (in addition to numerous other sections) dedicated to Mohs surgery. Similarly, a total of 17 richly illustrated chapters, including those devoted to particular flap techniques and regional approaches to reconstruction, address flap and graft closures. Since anatomy is the foundation on which all surgery is built, the anatomy chapter was built on a true ground-up cadaveric study of head and neck anatomy with an eye to clinical relevance. 

Full-length high-quality videos are an essential adjunct to learning procedural techniques, and this text includes the largest video resource of its kind ever compiled. This coupled with almost 3,000 high-quality clinical photographs and nearly 500 professional medical illustrations, including infographics with surgical pearls for each chapter – many bolstered by beginner tips, expert tips, cautions, patient education points, and even billing tips – make this a true primer for real-world skin surgery practice.

From the Back Cover

In Dermatologic Surgery, Jonathan
Kantor has assembled an all-star cast of section editors
and authors, thereby creating a state-of-the-specialty
reference work that showcases the current breadth and
depth of the field.

It is not only beautifully presented and
easy to read but also succeeds in combining the benefits
of a single-volume multi-author global dermatologic
surgery reference work with the strengths of a
dedicated reconstructive text.

Each chapter includes an introduction
highlighting beginner and expert pearls as
well as pitfalls and cautions, some with the heading
“Don’t Forget!” The many figures and diagrams are
detailed and beautifully rendered. There are numerous
photographs and step by step videos to supplement
the more technique-based content.

This text provides a thoughtful, practical, and
broad-based approach to the field of dermatologic
surgery, and my sense is that it will be useful both to
trainees and experienced practitioners. I truly
appreciate all of the hard work that went into this
magnum opus. More importantly, I thoroughly
enjoyed reading it.
—Désirée Ratner, MD, Dermatologic Surgery Journal


The world of dermatologic surgery may be overwhelming,  but this text serves as a gentle approach to fundamentals as well as one of the most comprehensive flap texts currently available. I thoroughly enjoyed reading through this textbook and find myself implementing Kantor’s techniques in my daily practice of dermatologic surgery.

Dermatologic Surgery is an attractive addition to any surgically oriented dermatologist’s office. What astonishes me most about this 1440-page, multi-author textbook is how neatly it is arranged...

Kantor does not stop there. He manages to include 200 short videos that truly enhance the surgical experience. Watching these videos makes you feel as though you are standing right next to the surgical field.
