Raising of Microvascular Flaps provides all those dealing with microsurgical tissue transfer, i.e. plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, trauma surgeons, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons with all they need to know in their daily practice. The systematic approach of this operative manual is based on photographs of perfect quality showing cadaver preparations alongside with explanatory colour drawings to even enhance the understanding of the anatomy through 3D perspectives and by also showing structures that are hidden in preparation. Safe and reliable operative techniques are clearly shown step by step on the DVD that goes along with the book. For each step individual risks and mistakes are emphasized. A clear didactic structure and perfect artwork supply the surgeon with invaluable guidelines for his daily work.Focusing on comprehensive, precise and teaching information, this text atlas is highly instructive.
Raising of Microvascular Flaps provides all those who deal with microsurgical tissue transfer, i.e. plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, trauma surgeons, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons, with all they need to know in their daily practice. In this second edition, the authors have followed the principle of systematic teaching based on photographs of cadaver preparations alongside explanatory color drawings to enhance understanding of the anatomy. Since microvascular tissue transfer is continuously developing, three flaps from the new generation have been added. These perforator flaps expand the spectrum of reconstructive possibilities and have specific indications if very low donor site morbidity is important to patients. A special strength of the book is its clear didactic structure. The highly instructive text is comprehensive and precise and also covers all representative literature on flap raising.
