The essential, step-by-step surgical guide on reconstructive flaps
for head and facial defects
Often referred to as the mirror of the soul, the face is indelibly
entwined with a person's appearance and personality. This presents a
particular challenge when reconstructive surgery is required. The goal
of every reconstructive surgeon is to repair damage as inconspicuously
as possible with minimal scarring while restoring prior function.
Jackson's Local Flaps in Head and Neck Reconstruction, Third Edition by
renowned plastic surgeons Peter C. Neligan, J. Brian Boyd, and David
Mathes honors the two widely acclaimed prior editions of this landmark
resource by the late master plastic surgeon, educator, and prolific
author Ian T. Jackson. The new edition features updated and streamlined
content, simplified references, colorized illustrations, and procedural
videos.
The book includes nine chapters, starting with two foundational chapters
that discuss the advantages of local flaps, skin biomechanics, surgical
planning, principles of skin and soft tissue movement, the utility of
Burow's triangles, and use of diverse flaps, followed by patient
management. Each of the procedural chapters focuses on a specific area,
with step-by-step reconstruction techniques for the scalp, forehead,
eyelids, nasal area, cheeks, ears, and lips. The reader-friendly book
provides plastic surgeons of all levels with a simple yet elegant
approach to managing reconstructive problems commonly encountered in
practice.
