Opis

This handbook is an introductory guide to harvesting essential workhorse
flaps of the torso and upper and lower extremities. Chapters are grouped into
separate sections based on the anatomic region of the flaps. Each chapter
details the critical clinical information the surgeon needs to know to
effectively harvest flaps, providing concise descriptions of the preparation,
incision, and dissection techniques. Precise illustrations supplementing the
descriptions enable surgeons to fully understand the technical maneuvers of each
procedure.

Features:

• Step-by-step descriptions of flap harvesting
  techniques

  
  

• Thorough discussion of the relevant vascular or
  neurovascular anatomy for each dissection

• More than 200 illustrations and schematics
  demonstrating key concepts

• Consistent presentation in each chapter to facilitate
  reference and review

• Practical discussion of common pitfalls to prepare
  the surgeon for managing the full range of scenarios in the clinical setting

• Overview of fundamental concepts, including
  microvascular anatomy and patterns of vasculature of soft tissue flaps,
  instrumentation, and microvascular and microneural suturing techniques

Providing
a solid foundation upon which to further develop surgical skills, this book is an indispensable resource for residents in plastic and reconstructive surgery, trauma surgery, orthopedics, and neurosurgery.
