Refinements in the Art of Complex Breast Reconstruction

This medical reference addresses the complexity of reconstructive breast surgery through a case study approach, focusing not only on the procedure but on treating the whole patient. Clinical cases are presented as guided interviews with international experts, allowing readers to learn from real-world deliberations and considerations in both print and video format.

Each case follows a highly templated, problem-based structure and is accompanied by animations created specifically for that case. The book covers key topics including complications and revision surgery, breast aesthetics, failed implant reconstruction, combination flaps, abdominally-based flaps, thigh-based flaps, fat grafting, hybrid reconstruction, nerve preservation, and breast pain.

An abundance of photographs, illustrations, and animations delivers highly visual, expert guidance from the surgeon's point of view. The included eBook version provides access to all text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
