Product Description
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery has been designed to provide succinct information to plastic surgeons of all levels of experience and trainees in partner specialties. The layout is contemporary with the concise information laid out in a readable style. There are descriptions of important operations and techniques with space to add the reader's own notes. It provides an up-to-date record of current practice for each reader in a compact and easily transportable format. Uniquely for this class of book there are over one hundred and fifty illustrations conveying key anatomical points and operative detail. This is ideal either as a refresher or to revise essential facts. For medical students with a short attachment to, and junior doctors in, plastic surgery, this book will provide all the information they will need to know, including all relevant aspects related to the surgical syllabus on which they may be examined. In addition there is practical information on the emergency care of plastic surgery and burns patients. There is comprehensive advice for the ward management of patients both pre- and post- surgery. For a specialist trainee, the book acts as the ideal revision text, covering the whole field of plastic surgery. It has been designed to act as a summary of the important points examined in the plastic surgery FRCS exam. For a consultant there are easily accessible facts, particularly on staging and survival data, which allows them to keep abreast of the current level of knowledge of their juniors. There are enlarged sections on hand surgery and lower limb trauma, relevant to all orthopaedic trainees. The flap section is also expanded and relevant to a variety of specialties.

Format:Paperback
With my FRCS(Plast) examination looming large, what a timely resource. Sure, none of the handbooks (Stone, Michigan, Richards, Weinzweig and Chiu) are going to substitute for hitting the tomes (Grabb and Smith, Mathes) with adequate supplementation (Selected Readings, Lister etc), but this really brings it together in a structured, syllabus-based schema. Minor quibbles aside, e.g. inaccurate index, the real strength is its practicality: for example, pragmatic 'been there, this works for me' tips on a diverse range of flap elevations. Corny phrase, but, "If you were to buy one (hand)book..."

I found the Oxford handbook of plastic and reconstructive surgery a very complete and exhaustive reference in the field. Bearing in mind that, imo, no Oxford handbook will ever be able to reach the quality and level of the "original" one (the Oxford handbook of clinical medicine) this covers really every aspect of plastic and reconstructive surgery in a very concise matter. Like all the other Oxford, it would benefit by more (and better) explanatory diagrams, drawings and pictures. Yes, I am glad I bought it.

Excellent coverage of all aspects of the plastic surgery curriculum. It provides an excellent guide to what depth of knowledge is required for the fellowship exam. Surprisingly some extremely complex concepts have been explained in such a lucid manner for such a small sized book. Comes in very handy during the revisions and that half hour when you have just been to one set of examiners and are waiting to go before the next pair. I will strongly recommend plastic surgery trainees to start getting hooked to it from the earlier years of training.
