International Flap Manual: A Practical Guide for Anatomical & Clinical Dissection of Flaps for Reconstructive Surgery

This is a step-by-step guide to flap surgery and anatomical dissection, concentrating on the flaps in most common use, as well as a selection of innovative, new or interesting flaps including the face transplant flap. Most of the world-wide contributors are leading eminent surgeons in the fields of plastic and reconstructive surgery, some having pioneered the flaps to which their chapter relates. Their cumulative knowledge provides the basis for a definitive photograph-by-photograph concise text, including reconstructive masterclasses. Each flap description is presented in a structured format under the following headings: name of the flap; classification of the flap according to Mathes-Nahai (muscle), Mathes-Nahai (fasciocutaneous) and Cormack-Lamberty (fasciocutaneous) where relevant; the vascular pedicle(s) including calibre and length, and innervation; surface markings; patient positioning; instructions on how to raise the flap; clinical perspectives; hints and tips; clinical applications; and, up-to-date references. This manual is designed to assist the surgeon in the operating theatre or in the dissection room as a well illustrated reference source. It is a unique and invaluable textbook for all surgeons not only in plastic and reconstructive surgery, but also in a variety of other closely aligned specialties, as an essential guide for raising flaps in a step-by-step manner which will be of benefit to both the novice and expert alike.
