Description
This text has been designed specifically to help senior plastic surgery trainees to prepare for and pass their postgraduate examinations in plastic surgery. It will also appeal to trainees with less experience who may use it as a core text during their training. The first edition of this text was written by the author in preparation for the FRCS(Plast) examination. It is a collection of notes that addresses the whole curriculum of plastic surgery providing information on clinical anatomy, points of technique and the fundamental principles relevant to each subject area. There are self assessment sections and hundreds of reviews of published articles. This text has become essential reading for all trainees and the second edition has sought to update the text mainly with regard to material published over the past 5 years. There is no other textbook of plastic surgery of this kind available to trainees in plastic surgery.
Reviews / Votes
'The format of this book makes easy reading. It is highly recommended for any practitioner who specializes in plastic surgery and may be involved in teaching, or for any practitioner commencing a clinical placement within a plastics operating theatre and seeking detailed information.' British Journal of Perioperative Nursing ' ... this useful publication is good value for the money. The book will not only be a valuable resource for recapitulation of theoretical skills but also a reference providing a quick survey of the covered topics, not only for trainees but also for experienced surgeons. Thus, the book will be a worthwhile extension to the personal library of every surgeon practising or interested in plastic surgery.' European SurgeryMore details
