Problems in Breast Surgery: A Repair Manual(2 DVDs)

Problem-Solving in Breast Surgery: A Repair Manual is destined to become a valued part of every plastic surgeon and
breast surgeon's library. This unique book provides a virtual lifeline for addressing the challenges encountered in
aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery and avoiding possible problems and complications. This is not a traditional
technique-oriented textbook. Rather it has a problem focus and provides different solutions for solving complex
problems associated with secondary breast surgery. The book begins with chapters on the basic principles of corrective
breast surgery and the key anatomic factors and mechanisms of failure that are key to accurate analysis. With this
foundation in place, it proceeds to address the spectrum of potential problems that can occur with each of the
different procedures,ranging from breast augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy to breast and nipple-areola
reconstruction. Each chapter is introduced with a specific problem presented by Drs. Fisher and Handel. Then the second
portion of the chapter features a variety of solutions from different experts for treating the problem. These experts
provide case examples of similar problems with the step-by-step explanation of how they solved these problems and why
they took the approach that they used. The book covers both aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery.

The goal of this book is not to judge which solution is the best (that decision is left to the reader). This book is
designed to provide a detailed road map of how to move from point A, the problem, to point B, the solution.

Beautifully Illustrated
Beautiful and dramatic color illustrations and numerous preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative images will
help the reader visualize the steps of each operative solution.

Unique Features
This book's approach is unique and should be of great educational value to surgeons, both residents and practitioners,
in solving challenging problems and complications but, even more important, in helping them to avoid problems and
complications in future cases.
