Color Atlas of Burn Reconstructive Surgery 2025th Edition

This fully revised second edition is a surgical atlas focused on techniques for improving mature scars, burn scars, and scar contractures. Leading specialists in post-burn treatment and reconstruction detail operative methods, including flap surgery selection, alongside advantageous wound treatments and many methods invented by the authors.

Because scars become permanent when wounds reach the reticular dermis, and because prolonged or potent inflammation can produce keloids or hypertrophic scars, the book explains how timing and individual factors guide surgical technique. It also addresses how to prevent permanently disabling restriction of joint movement from contractures and how to achieve good aesthetic reconstruction.

With additional material, a subject index, a wealth of clinical cases and bespoke illustrations, the work suits readers from beginners in plastic surgery to specialist surgeons, and doctors of every kind who deal with wound management.
