Product Description
Review
'The format of this book makes easy reading. It is highly recommended for any practitioner who specializes in plastic surgery and may be involved in teaching, or for any practitioner commencing a clinical placement within a plastics operating theatre and seeking detailed information.' British Journal of Perioperative Nursing
' … this useful publication is good value for the money. The book will not only be a valuable resource for recapitulation of theoretical skills but also a reference providing a quick survey of the covered topics, not only for trainees but also for experienced surgeons. Thus, the book will be a worthwhile extension to the personal library of every surgeon practising or interested in plastic surgery.' European Surgery

Product Description
This text has been designed specifically to help senior plastic surgery trainees to prepare for and pass their postgraduate examinations in plastic surgery. It will also appeal to trainees with less experience who may use it as a core text during their training. The first edition of this text was written by the author in preparation for the FRCS(Plast) examination. It is a collection of notes that addresses the whole curriculum of plastic surgery providing information on clinical anatomy, points of technique and the fundamental principles relevant to each subject area. There are self assessment sections and hundreds of reviews of published articles. This text has become essential reading for all trainees and the second edition has sought to update the text mainly with regard to material published over the past 5 years. There is no other textbook of plastic surgery of this kind available to trainees in plastic surgery.

Format:Paperback
After the success of the first edition, Stone's Plastic Surgery: Facts seems to have suffered in its updating for the second edition. Not only is it now a weighty tome compared to its more portable predecessor, but most of the new material consists of unnecessarily detailed summaries of published papers, many of dubious relevance to the FRCS(Plast) exam. Added to this are a difficult-to-follow heading system, typos on nearly every page, and several significant factual errors. Finally, it seems inconceivable that a book on Plastic Surgery could be written without a single diagram or picture. Customers looking for a concise summary of the Plastic Surgery syllabus would be better off with Adrian Richards' Keynotes in Plastic Surgery, or Weinzweig's Plastic Surgery Secrets, the latter being beautifully illustrated throughout.
