Plastic Surgery Oral Board Prep: Case Management Q&A

This is a study resource for plastic surgery residents and surgeons preparing for the American Board of Plastic Surgery oral board exam. It restructures core plastic surgery knowledge into the conceptual framework needed for mastery of the exam, exploring analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and practical applications such as fluid management, intraoperative and postoperative challenges, and ethical considerations.

Across 22 chapters, the book presents nearly 400 questions and answers that mirror the type and sequencing of questions on the oral board exam. Reconstruction topics include skin cancer, facial defects and trauma, back and trunk, traumatic hand injuries, lower extremity wounds, cleft lip and palate, and craniosynostosis syndromes, while aesthetic and elective surgery chapters cover the aging face, breast, body and trunk, and hand.

It also provides current recommendations for management of coexisting medical conditions such as thromboembolism prophylaxis and perioperative management of cardiac disease. The comprehensive core curriculum content can also benefit clinicians preparing for in-service exams.
