Reviews / Votes
"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."
