Description
Textbook of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery is a comprehensive and illustrated work from the land of
Sushruta for students, teachers, and practicing surgeons. It is a six-volume set with division of volumes based on
the clinical needs of plastic surgeons in developing countries. Along with latest developments, these volumes
incorporate landmark contributions, innovations, and techniques of Indian clinicians who regularly deal with unique
and complicated conditions. While a majority of authors have been chosen from the Indian subcontinent, a few
international authors whose work is considered indispensable for understanding the subject have also been included.
These volumes seek to incorporate in one work issues relevant to the developing world as well as insights from
national and international plastic surgery practices which highlight newer management techniques along with the
traditional methods. This makes these volumes a "must-have" resource for students and practitioners of plastic
surgery across the globe.
In this volume, Principles and Advances in Plastic Surgery, a very wide spectrum of topics, right from the history
of plastic surgery to current and raging subjects like lasers; composite tissue allotransplantation; simulation;
robotics; telemedicine and information technology in plastic surgery; clinical photography; human factors and skills
in plastic surgery; doctor-patient relationship; and legal issues have been discussed. The authors have tried to
explore the basic science behind wound healing, scar biology, and scar management. Repair and healing of individual
tissues-skin, fat, and fascia muscles and tendons; peripheral nerves and bones-have been assigned separate chapters
and explained in great details.
