Chirurgia plastica

This richly illustrated book presents a straightforward non-instrumental method of clinical facial analysis in preparation for aesthetic surgery, orthognathic surgery, and orthodontic treatments. After discussion of various practical aspects of facial examination and photography, analysis of different regions of the face and dentofacial deformities is discussed in a series of detailed chapters. At the end of each of these chapters, multiple-choice checklists are included that will help the reader to perform step-by-step regional analysis. Important features of the book are its multidisciplinary approach and the emphasis placed on the relationship between different parts of the face. This second edition has been thoroughly updated and includes a new chapter on recording and documentation relating specifically to aesthetic facial surgery.

This book is full of operative pearls and details that are not only instructive for the trainee but a refreshing review for those experienced in managing maxillofacial trauma. It is a comprehensive dissertation of facial fracture repair and certainly will be valued by anyone who practices in the repair of facial fractures. -- Amit Dave Bhrany, MD, Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery Buttresses are the basis for reduction and repair of craniomaxillofacial fractures and are essential for determining the optimal location, for placement of reparative plates and screws. Craniomaxillofacial Buttresses: Anatomy and Operative Repair endorses surgical anatomy as a basis for operative intervention. Special Features: * The first book to bring together experts in the five surgical areas involved in craniomaxillofacial (CMF) reconstruction after trauma: plastic surgery, oculoplastic surgery, otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, ophthalmology, and neurosurgery * Parallels between architecture and CMF anatomy, basic biomechanics, and advanced finite analysis depict the distribution of impact and the modern principles of operative repair * Algorithms and illustrations, by renowned artist William Winn, reinforce a logical sequence of clinical management * Compelling preoperative, intra-operative, and postoperative photographs and supplemental text illustrate exemplary repair From the frontal boss to the lower jaw, this book brings together history, applied surgical anatomy, and operative techniques in the CMF region in a way not seen since the classic by Reed O. Dingman and Paul Natvig in 1964. An educational reference for medical students, residents, fellows, and clinicians, Craniomaxillofacial Buttresses: Anatomy and Operative Repair simplifies board review-and-study.

Discover a revolutionary approach to reconstructive surgery! Now in its Second Edition, "The Atlas of Regional and Free Flaps for Head and Neck Reconstruction" delivers clear, heavily illustrated coverage of regional skin, muscle, and musculocutaneous flaps as well as donor sites from distant regions of the body where vascularized skin, muscle, bone, and nerves can be harvested and transferred to the head and neck. The Atlas will prove invaluable information to otolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, and general surgeons, who use both regional and free flaps to reconstruct damage to the head and neck caused by cancer and trauma. This Atlas provides the surgeon with techniques for mastering different donor sites needed to find solutions to virtually every reconstruction problem. It provides detailed descriptions of the anatomy and harvesting techniques of the major regional and free-flap donor sites currently employed in head and neck reconstruction. The in-depth coverage that readers trust - clinically detailed full-color line drawings emphasize proper harvesting technique for all flaps; full procedural discussions address relevant anatomy, flap design and utilization, anatomic variations, preoperative and postoperative care, tips for avoiding potential pitfalls, and harvesting techniques for each donor site; and use of fresh cadaver dissections provides the most realistic portrayal of step-by-step detail that gives the resident and attending surgeon a thorough understanding of each donor site. A wealth of features NEW to the Second Edition - new chapters address the submental flap, ulnar forearm flap, anterolateral thigh flap, paramedian forehead flap, cervicofacial advancement flap, and perforator flaps; new content on skin-flap harvesting includes: addition of the coronoid harvest process to the temporalis chapter; addition of the osteocutaneous radial forearm flap to the radial forearm flap chapter; addition of scalp harvest to the chapter on the temporoparietal fascial flap; addition of scapular tip harvest for use in palatomaxillary reconstruction; and addition of harvest of the IMA and IMV recipient vessels and harvest of the TAC system of vessels to the recipient vessel chapter; and new demonstrations of flap insetting and design for a number of reconstructions.

This is the definitive full-color illustrated atlas of breast and body contouring surgical procedures. It includes DVD with video clips Part of the "McGraw-Hill Plastic Surgery Atlas" series, "Body Contouring" is a full-color, step-by-step guide to learning how to perform both traditional and contemporary plastic surgery procedures relative to breast and body contouring. Two hundred medical illustrations and more than two hundred photographs - all in full color - offer unmatched coverage of the required surgical steps and actual results. A companion DVD features skill-building surgical video clips. For each procedure, you'll find a complete review of key topics, including: introduction to the surgical approach; relevant anatomy; indications; markings; details of the procedure (incision and exposure); postoperative care; pitfalls; and, tips. Part I of "Body Contouring" addresses important clinical concerns such as the safety of surgical techniques, intraoperative positioning, psychological issues, and issues pertaining to massive weight loss and surgical wound care. Part II then reviews specific body contouring surgical procedures by body region, beginning with the upper extremity, and proceeding to the female breast, male chest (gynecomastia), abdomen, back, and lower extremity. Learn all aspects of body contouring surgery, step by step: Breast surgery: reduction; mastopexy; augmentation; lifting; gynecomastia; arm and thigh contouring with liposuction and excisional techniques; abdominoplasty, upper and lower, with hernia repair techniques; and, back contouring.
