Tissue Surgery

From the reviews:"The authors and editor wish to present a state-of-the-art book on the understanding, handling, and approach to various tissues types. To this end they have achieved their goals. This is a progressive looking book written by an international group of physicians for sophisticated plastic, hand, and orthopedic surgeons who wish to hone their skills and accelerate their knowledge base concerning the newest techniques and treatments in selected fields of tissue surgery. This is a well crafted, niche book for those interested in specific tissue surgery topics, especially for those surgeons practicing microvascular and transplant surgery."
