"This book could be used as a supplement by already practicing head and neck reconstruction surgeons. ... The book briefly reviews types of reconstruction based on subsite (e.g. pharyngoesophageal, nasal, mandible, etc.) and showcases many interesting cases of patients who underwent complex reconstructions."
