Now in its 5th edition,
Plastic Surgery Facts has been extended into two volumes and continues to provide comprehensive coverage of plastic surgery in a format that is easy for the trainee to assimilate.
Volume One includes chapters on Wound Care, Burns, Head and Neck, Clefts and Craniofacial, and Breast.Fully updated coverage includes significant new developments such as the management of BIA-ALCL, the use of Biodegradable temporizing matrix (BTM) in burns and updates in the care of patients with advanced melanoma. Existing illustrations have been updated, and new illustrations have been included, particularly where the text would be difficult to understand without them. References have been checked and updated - they are cited inline in a format that is brief yet still allows the reader to find the paper by typing it into a search engine. There has been a great explosion of literature that is also easily accessible, and further new material includes commentaries on what are deemed 'landmark papers' - these are not necessarily the most cited and include some from niche areas, particularly from difficult or emerging topics.
At its heart, this book is still a set of 'notes', but has now been revised to make it more readable and to more effectively deliver important concepts and messages. The emphasis remains on clarity with brevity, making this an indispensable revision guide for Residents specialising in plastic surgery, and particularly for those sitting the FRCS (PLAST) and other equivalent postgraduate examinations. It is also a valuable quick reference for the busy practicing surgeon on the wards or in the consulting room.
