Plastic Surgery
This text has been designed specifically to help senior plastic surgery trainees to prepare for and pass their postgraduate examinations in plastic surgery. It is a collection of notes that addresses the entire curriculum of plastic surgery by 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. The second edition has sought to update the text mainly with regard to material published over the past 5 years.
- Designed mainly for exam revision
- Useful to trainees as a core reference text at all stages of training
- Easy to read and assimilate format
Reviews & endorsements
"The book is very detailed. A resident or plastic surgeon referencing this book would be assured of missing nothing important in reviewing a subject.... The book is meant to be read by the chapter to give the student a very full overview of each subject. In this, the book succeeds very well. This is an essential book for plastic surgeons wishing an inexpensive and thorough review of plastic surgery."
Dr. John Taylor, MD FRCSC FACS, Canadian Journal of Plastic Surgery
