Achieve optimal results in reconstructive surgery involving flaps and
grafts with this up-to-date reference written by leading dermatologic
surgeons. Using a systematic approach, Flaps and Grafts in
Dermatologic Surgery, Second Edition, by Drs. Thomas E. Rohrer,

accessible guidance in this challenging area, including anatomical
considerations, the delicate nature of tissue movement, principles of
aesthetic surgical closures, relevant tissue biomechanics, and much
more. Covering everything from the basic linear and arciform closures,

interpolation flaps, this text clearly presents not just the "how to do
it" but more importantly the thought processes behind the selection
