Description
Based on the contributions of experienced and respected facial surgeons and enhanced by numerous illustrations and computer graphics, this guide presents the most effective and reliable techniques of facial reconstruction. The text emphasizes flap reconstruction techniques. Coverage begins with a chapter on soft tissue biomechanics and physiology, followed by a number of chapters organized by facial region and musculocutaneous flap subunits. Key fundamental techniques covered include: advancement flap, rotation flap, rhombic flap, bilobe flap and note flap; wound closure and care; skin and composite grafts; Zplasty; and dermabrasion. The book also includes chapters on healing by secondary intention and defect shape.
