4th Edition
by Glyn E. Jones
Few surgical texts are able to
provide readers with a level of descriptive and visual detail
sufficient to be considered a primary manual for surgical procedures.
Surgeons typically face the daunting task of extensive research through
various texts to piece together a picture comprehensive enough to
guide them through a new procedure. This prospect is especially
formidable in the field of plastic and reconstructive breast surgery,
in which techniques are constantly evolving and older texts describe
procedures that have long since been supplanted by superior methods and
innovative approaches.
This fourth
edition of Bostwick's Plastic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery, edited
by premier breast surgeon Glyn E. Jones, provides just that manual for
breast and plastic surgeons. This comprehensive text encompasses every
key ingredient for a step-by-step surgical guide to breast surgery:
- An expanded microsurgical section incorporating the most widely used flaps and recent advances
- Extensive
coverage of revolutionary prepectoral breast reconstruction, both
single stage direct-to-implant approaches and 2-stage expander-implant
pre-pectoral reconstruction
- A comprehensive approach to lymphedema surgery
- Exposure to state-of-the-art implant technology
- Contributing authors from around the globe who are heralded as the best in their field at technique and innovation
- Detailed coverage of relevant and groundbreaking new technologies that are redefining plastic surgery of the breast
- Step-by-step detailed technical operative details including technical nuances rarely outlined in surgical texts
- High-quality, updated surgical images and intricate surgical illustrations as well as pertinent radiographic examples
- An extensive collection of pertinent surgical videos, which stream directly from the publisher's website
- Technical caveats to ensure success of the surgical techniques described
- Concise but thorough chapters presented in both print and electronic formats for easy access by busy surgeons
Surgeons
must be highly skilled in cosmetic breast surgery as well as in
prepectoral approaches, single-stage direct-to-implant reconstruction,
and microsurgery to remain competitive in the plastic and
reconstructive breast surgery field. Every dedicated breast surgeon
will want this essential text at their fingertips!
