Returning in a second edition, this book is a beautifully illustrated guide to facial soft-tissue reconstruction, written by leading clinicians who share insights into the most effective techniques for managing a range of problems in this area of surgery. It opens with a review of soft-tissue biomechanics and physiology and then covers the fundamentals of wound closure, wound healing, grafts, flaps, and dermabrasion. The chapters that follow address defects in specific anatomic regions. Each chapter presents a brief overview of the anatomy of the region and then goes on to provide succinct descriptions of surgical approaches for the relevant subunits in that region. New in this edition is a final chapter that provides detailed discussion of the latest graft harvesting techniques. Features of the second edition: ■Algorithms that guide the clinician through treatment options and to the selection of the appropriate flap or graft for each situation ■More than 300 high-quality illustrations, full-color clinical photographs, and diagrams precisely depicting key surgical concepts ■Up-to-date coverage of the newest flaps in facial reconstructive surgery This book is ideal for clinicians and residents in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and trauma management. It will also be a useful reference for dermatologists and ophthalmologists. ■"Reconstruction of small- to medium-sized cutaneous facial defects made EASY!" Drs. Larrabee and Sherris share their expert guidance - it's like having these two noted authorities at one's side. ■The unique algorithmic organization, in a concise, step-by-step "cookbook" fashion, helps the reader decide which reconstruction to consider for a particular defect. Breaks out specific options based on the size and location of the cutaneous defect. The book conveniently divides the face into aesthetic units and subunits that differ in anatomic and functional consideration. ■Outstanding color drawings by artist Kate Sweeney illustrate all procedures and flap design.

Provides an overview of basic surgical term, concept, and technique. This work presents the essentials of surgery from tissue injury, local anesthetics, and surgical instruments through obtaining hemostasis, skin flaps, scar excision and closure to postoperative wound care. It presents information on the maneuvers essential to surgical success.

A beautifully illustrated, multimedia guide to facial soft-tissue reconstruction from leading cliniciansPrinciples of Facial Reconstruction: A Subunit Approach to Cutaneous Repair, Third Edition by distinguished clinicians Wayne F. Larrabee Jr., David A. Sherris, Jeffrey C. Teixeira, and esteemed contributors presents evidence-based facial reconstruction techniques that simplify flap design based on location and defect. The book's primary focus is soft-tissue defects of moderate size rather than larger flap reconstructions. Building on the acclaimed prior editions, the third edition features new content and images.Key surgical principles are detailed graphically in an easy-to-navigate, concise layout. The two opening chapters cover a review of soft-tissue biomechanics and physiology, followed by fundamentals of wound closure, wound healing, grafts, and flaps. The seven consistently organized anatomic chapters present a brief overview of the anatomy of the region, followed by succinct descriptions of surgical approaches for relevant subunits in that region. The final two chapters provide details on free flaps and graft harvesting techniques. The reader-friendly format enables quick determination of the most reliable reconstruction options for repair of the scalp, forehead, eyes, nose, cheek, ears, and lips and chin.
