Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Clinical Reference Guide

From the Foreword:
In today s world of ever expanding medical knowledge precise reference guides are in demand by practicing physicians, residents and fellows in training, and medical students. Even better is a book that provides both a comprehensive day-to-day clinical reference and board review source, and can fit into the pocket of a white coat.

This text is a concise clinical reference guide solely devoted to facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. No such portable guide has existed up till now. Dr. Desai has gathered an all star multidisciplinary group of authors who are true experts in their fields. Many are paired with co-authors who recently finished training to give a unique combined perspective on each topic. One could say that the chapters are written by former trainees for present trainees . The result is an easily accessible reference guide organized to help the reader find vital information quickly and efficiently.

Doctors in the specialties of facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery, oculoplastic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and dermatology will find this guide indispensable in preparing for surgery or patient care. Modeled after Dr. Raza Pasha s popular Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Clinical Reference Guide, this portable reference book fills a niche in the reference world left empty too long.
