Reconstructive Surgery: Principles, Anatomy, & Technique  

by Stephen J. Mathes, M.D., Foad Nahai, M.D. This beautifully illustrated 2-volume clinical reference fully documents the three approaches to reconstructive surgery - flaps, microsurgery, and tissue expansion - as they apply to the entire body. The authors present the reconstructive triangle - a new paradigm for surgical decision making to help the surgeon achieve optimal reconstructive results. With more than 2,000 full-color illustrations, Reconstructive Surgery explores the various reconstructive options, including muscle and musculocutaneous flaps, fascia and fasciocutaneous flaps, free flaps, and tissue expansion. Anatomical dissections with accompanying illustrations are used throughout to facilitate understanding of each operation.
