Following a brief discussion of wound healing and factors that may influence the healing process, the book presents various approaches to wound management, the selection of suture materials and suture patterns, and their placement for wound closure. Basic principles of reconstructive surgery, including tension-relieving procedures that are practical in clinical situations, are discussed and illustrated. Reconstructive surgery of specific regions, including unique problems and treatments, is illustrated with photographs of actual clinical cases and original art work. Lacerations of the lips, ears, and eyelids, fractures and fistula of facial bones, along with lacerations, puncture wounds and avulsion injury of the upper body and of the foot are all included. Additionally there are treatment methods for exuberant granulating wounds of the distal extremity, burns and surgery to remove proliferative bone and bone sequestra plus practical methods of free skin grafting, and bandaging and casting techniques that can improve the cosmetic and functional end result.
