The first edition of Perforator Flaps: Anatomy, Technique, & Clinical Applications was a bestseller that sold out of its initial printing. This new edition has been updated to include ten new chapters and extensive updates on all existing chapters.

Many new developments have taken place in the field, including the use of local perforator flaps, including free-style propeller flaps as well as the distal-based sural flap, which is effective for the lower extremity especially when microsurgical skills are unavailable. The editors, leading reconstructive surgeons and pioneers in the field of perforator flap surgery, have assembled a group of world-renowned experts who discuss perforator anatomy and clinical indications for the use of these flaps.

The book outlines techniques for flap harvest, from the most basic to the highly advanced. Accompanying the book are four supplemental DVDs that demonstrate actual operating procedures.

There has been an exponential growth in the number of research papers published in recent decades in the field of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, making it difficult to identify the key papers that have truly changed practice in plastic surgery. This book provides readers with a concise reference source for the key papers that underpin contemporary surgical practice and covers all aspects of the specialty, with the content being helpful for both trainees and specialists to understand the scientific developments and pioneering surgeries that allow expert surgeons to practice as they currently do. By exploring the ground-breaking papers in Plastic Surgery, readers can gain insights into the evolution of the field and learn valuable lessons on how to innovate. For trainees preparing for board or exit exams, such as the FRCS (Plast), this book serves as an invaluable reference source and revision guide, providing access to key landmark studies. It presents over 50 key research studieson plastic surgery along with full analysis and additional commentaries from experts and world-renowned authority figures in Plastic Surgery. It provides a valuable perspective on why the study is important, constituting essential reading for busy professionals as well as trainees, residents and fellows, and surgeons studying for professional examinations while distilling all the literature into a compact guide on the must-know scientific articles.
