Dermatologic Surgery, Second Edition

The world’s best-selling dermatologic surgery textbook, now in an innovative easy-to-read format so key facts and actionable insights are at your fingertips

Dermatologic Surgery, Second Edition combines the benefits of an authoritative, evidence-based, multi-authored textbook with a practical, well-illustrated procedural guide.  This updated second edition focuses on the background knowledge and requisite skills that help make a great dermatologic surgeon.

Beyond its clinical relevance, the book features content tailored for the Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery Board Certification Exam.  It is divided into five sections: 

1. Fundamentals
2. Reconstructive Techniques
3. Mohs Micrographic Surgery
4. Regional Approaches to Reconstruction
5. Cosmetic Surgery 

Chapters follow a strict format that includes an introduction, evidence-based discussion, step-by-step guidance through a procedure—with numerous high-quality photographs demonstrating every critical step—along with pearls and pitfalls.  Each chapter now includes links to specially recorded video lectures. A new bullet point format emphasizes critical information. 

The experience of reading these chapters is more akin to attending a detailed clinical hands-on workshop, rather than simply reading a staid text. Dermatologic Surgery, Second Edition captures the clinically meaningful skills that represent the core of any dermatologic surgeon’s training and practice.
