This focused, concise book offers an in-depth analysis of lower extremity reconstruction alongside region-specific photos and illustrations. As an anatomical atlas, it seeks to aid the visual learner in showcasing the key steps in setting up and raising the flap for a given defect.Organized into two sections, opening chapters are arranged by general location, focusing specifically on the lower limb. Each general location of a wound is accompanied by an examination of relevant anatomy, including blood supply, nerve supply, arc of rotation of the tissue, and local flap options. Following a description of the anatomy, subsequent paragraphs explain the application of relevant local flap options. Section two incorporates flap demonstration and application into each chapter, offering a more detailed description, true and specific to each anatomical site of the technique.Supplemented by high-quality images and figures, Handbook of Lower Extremity Reconstruction: Clinical Case-Based Review and Flap Atlas is an invaluable reference for practicing plastic and orthopedic surgeons and residents in training.

Scars are the final result of the four processes that constitute cutaneous wound healing. Permanent scars are produced if the wounds reach the reticular dermis. If the inflammation phase is prolonged and/or more potent for some reason, inflammatory/pathological scars such as keloids or hypertrophic scars can arise. If these pathological scars are located on joints or mobile regions, scar contractures can develop. When used with the appropriate timing and when selected on the basis of individual factors, surgical techniques can improve mature scars. This new edition focuses on the surgical techniques that are used to improve mature scars, burn scars, and scar contractures. In this up-to-date atlas, leading specialists in post-burn treatment and the reconstruction of post-burn scar contractures depict in detail not only surgical techniques but also a variety of advantageous wound treatments. Many new methods invented by the authors are presented. Operative techniques are depicted in detail, and clear guidance is provided on selection of the most appropriate flap surgery. Advice is also given on how to prevent permanently disabling restriction of joint movement as a result of contractures and how to achieve good aesthetic reconstruction. This fully revised second edition of the celebrated Color Atlas of Burn Reconstructive Surgery also features additional material and a subject index, on top of a wealth of clinical cases and bespoke illustrations. This unique work will appeal to a wide audience, from beginners in plastic surgery to specialist surgeons, and prove invaluable for doctors of every kind who deal with wound management.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is frequently used as an adjunct to the management of acute and chronic wounds. NPWT generally utilizes a foam/dressing interface attached to the surrounding skin with a drape connected to a suction source through a flexible tube. This device is used to draw tissues together and remove wound exudate. There have been numerous innovations and novel approaches to the original design, utilized extensively for over 30 years. Despite its widespread adoption and numerous publications, this is the first comprehensive book on these popular therapies. The technology and mechanisms of action are presented in detail, followed by its application in a variety of nonsurgical/surgical settings, from many specialties. This text will be of great interest to multiple surgical, medical, nursing and physical therapy disciplines, including clinicians involved in soft tissue reconstruction, elective and non-elective surgery, and conservative wound care.

Our aging population, combined with an increase incidence of both diabetes and obesity, has fueled the need for better care of acute and chronic wounds associated with these diseases. Interventional Wound Healing focuses on what modern surgery can do to accelerate the healing of such wounds. Utilizing case studies alongside background and in-depth analysis for each technique with color images and videos, this book is intended to guide the reader in surgical and non-surgical procedures to assist with wound closure.Edited by the medical director of the Brigham and Women's Hospital Wound Care Center, Interventional Wound Healing takes the plastic surgeon's point of view on wound care and various surgical and non-surgical interventional treatments. Where the typical wound care book addresses bandaging and dressing of various surface wounds, Interventional Wound Healing delves into the surgical and interventional procedures that can effectively treat both acute and chronic wounds. Written for wound care professional including physicians, podiatrists, nurses, residents and students this book features three distinct sections covering surgical methods and techniques, amputation, and interventional techniques, paying special attention to skin grafts, flaps, and substitutions, as well as arterial and venous interventions.
