Now in its thoroughly updated Third Edition, this classic work is the most comprehensive reference ever published on surgical flaps for reconstructing defects in the upper extremities. In clearly organized chapters, internationally recognized surgeons describe and illustrate every clinically proven flap option available for repairing every routine and unusual defect. Complementing the text are hundreds of clinical photographs and diagrams of anatomy, blood supply, flap design, and operative procedures.

The Third Edition features new chapters by the original experts who have made landmark contributions to the recent literature. Many chapters from the previous edition have been completely revised. Wherever appropriate, the editors have added editorial comments to guide the reader in selection of flaps.

The volume is extensively indexed and organized by anatomic region, and chapters follow a uniform format that clearly presents all the information needed on each flap—indications, anatomy, blood supply, surgical techniques, complications, safeguards to keep in mind, and advantages and disadvantages of the flap. From this remarkably complete collection of clinical information, surgeons can select with confidence the best flap for safe, predictable, and aesthetically acceptable

Comentario Averroes

  Hacia 10 años que no se renovaba esta obra que es la mas completa sobre colgajos cutaneos a nivel mundial. Son tres tomos cargados de imagenes de colgajos prediseñados y tecnicas para decidir el mejor sobre todo en grandes defectos de partes blandas segun la irrigacion sanguinea. . Muy interesante para cirugia reconstructiva y cirugia ortopedica los 3 tomos estan divididos por regiones anatomicas y se pueden comprar por separado.
