A comprehensive, problem-based guide to modern reconstructive surgery from renowned experts

Reconstructive Surgery: A Problem-Based Approach edited by Matthew M. Hanasono, Samir Mardini, Steven L. Moran, Michel H. Saint-Cyr, and Edward I. Chang fills a gap among plastic surgery textbooks. The book focuses on reconstructive surgery by region and is problem based, rather than a flap atlas or a superficial survey of general plastic surgery. The text covers the entire spectrum of reconstructive surgery, including reconstruction of the head and neck; breast, trunk, and pelvis; upper and lower extremities; and the lymphatic system.

Systemically organized by five regions, the book includes 52 chapters designed to be referenced prior to a consultation or surgical case. Each chapter is succinct, yet comprehensive, and written by world-renowned experts in the field. The authors discuss clinical decision-making using the best available evidence. This unique resource defines the current state of the art and reflects the camaraderie and mutual support that runs strongly within the field of reconstructive plastic surgery.
