Principles of Facial Reconstruction: A Comprehensive Guide to Cutaneous Repair

Authored by esteemed clinicians Wayne F. Larrabee Jr., David A. Sherris, and Jeffrey C. Teixeira, this beautifully illustrated, multimedia guide provides evidence-based facial reconstruction techniques that simplify flap design based on location and defect.

Focus on Soft-Tissue Defects

The primary focus of this book is on soft-tissue defects of moderate size, rather than larger flap reconstructions. This focus enables clinicians to develop a deeper understanding of the principles and techniques required for successful facial reconstruction.

Key Features and Benefits

• Firsthand experience from renowned experts on the most reliable defect reconstructions
• Over 500 high-quality, full-color clinical photographs, illustrations, and diagrams provide precise insights into key surgical concepts
• Following a facial unit principle, decision-making algorithms guide readers on the selection of the most effective flap or graft for each case

A Comprehensive Resource for Surgeons and Clinicians

This book is an essential resource for plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists, oral-maxillofacial surgeons, dermatology residents and fellows, and surgeons specializing in the field of facial plastic surgery.

Organized for Easy Reference

The book is divided into nine concise chapters, including:

• Two opening chapters covering soft-tissue biomechanics and physiology, followed by fundamentals of wound closure, wound healing, grafts, and flaps
• Seven anatomic chapters presenting a brief overview of the anatomy of the region, followed by succinct descriptions of surgical approaches for relevant subunits in that region
• Two final chapters providing details on free flaps and graft harvesting techniques
