Manual Of Head And Neck Reconstruction Step-By-Step Guide

This manual presents reconstructive surgery in a clear, consistent format, covering regional and distant cutaneous, muscular, and osseous flaps with step-by-step guidance on donor site harvest and transfer. It reviews relevant anatomy, flap design nuances, harvesting techniques, insetting, ideal flap locations, and flap combinations, along with preoperative preparations, intraoperative considerations, and management of postoperative complications.

Intraoperative photographs walk readers through the procedures in detail, and the text addresses surgical maneuvers designed to improve efficiency and save hours of intraoperative time, limiting the patient's time under anesthesia. It also covers microvascular reconstruction for defects of the larynx, pharynx, oral cavity, salivary glands, tongue, and skin, including its use alongside chemotherapy and radiation in head and neck cancer treatment.

Authored by experts in head and neck reconstruction, this resource serves surgeons in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery and those working in head and neck oncologic surgery and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. The EPUB format offers reflowable text that adjusts to screen size for e-readers and mobile devices.
