Theory and Practice in Reconstructive and Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Technical approaches and conceptual advances

This unique book is intended for both plastic surgeons and oncologic breast surgeons, wanting to understand the bigger picture of the surgical decision making process for each breast cancer patient, integrating surgical techniques to achieve the best oncologic and aesthetic result, and addressing oncologic surgical concerns, such as tumor free margins, as well as the repair and reconstructive issues. With clinicians in mind, Theory and Practice in Reconstructive and Oncoplastic Breast Surgery: Technical approaches and conceptual advances presents richly illustrated clinical cases with high-quality OR pictures and lab findings. The techniques and results are supplemented with over 480 color images. This atlas-like collection of clinical cases is a valuable companion for all professionals in plastic surgery and oncology who are eager to better understand the direction in which reconstructive breast surgery is heading and gold standards are evolving. 

Peter Cordeiro is a board certified plastic surgeon who contributed to major intellectual and practical surgical advances. His particular areas of focus include breast reconstruction, microsurgery, and reconstruction in the head and neck. Drawing on a large experience in free tissue transfers for oncologic reconstruction, he has developed new applications for free flaps to establish state-of-the-art approaches to complex reconstructive problems. Areas of innovation include reconstruction of the mandible, maxilla, mid face, pharynx, vagina, and breast. In addition to routine approaches to breast reconstruction, Dr. Cordeiro is currently developing newer techniques and approaches to reconstruction for patients who have been previously radiated or who may require future radiation using implants as well as the patient’s own tissues. Dr. Cordeiro has lectured extensively throughout the United States and the world and has authored more than 300 scientific papers and book chapters. He is on the editorial boards of three major plastic and reconstructive surgery journals. Education: MD, Harvard Medical School. Residencies: General Surgery - Harvard Medical School/New England Deaconess Hospital; Plastic. Surgery - New York University Medical Center. Fellowships: Microsurgery - Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center; Craniofacial Surgery – University of Miami School of Medicine.
