Illustrated Handbook of Flap-raising Techniques

When dealing with severe injuries that result in larger areas of destruction of the skin, or when extensive skin cancers must be removed, it is crucial that these defects are repaired with skin that is transposed from neighbouring areas of the body. This book describes in a very accessible manner the most efficient means of creating flaps for the repair of larger skin injuries to the extremities, such that vasculature remains in tact and the flaps take without problems. This convenient manual will be of great interest to orthopedic surgeons, general surgeons, and trauma surgeons. The text is concise, the book is highly illustrated with excellent drawings by the author, providing a helpful guide for all flap-raising techniques in the extremities.
