Robert Caulfield MB, BCh, BAO (NUI), AFRCSI, MD, FRCSI (Plast) (auth.), Shehan P. Hettiaratchy, Matthew Griffiths, Farida Ali, Jon Simmons (eds.)Plastic Surgery, A Problem Based Approach provides a problem-based approach to solutions for common scenarios in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery and serves as a practical guide to managing a plastic surgical case.
This book outlines a pathway through management for the clinician, consisting of six phases:
1) Recognition of the condition: facilitated by high quality images.2) General approach: provided by an opening “mindset” statement for the particular case. 3) Assessment: the critical aspects of the history and examination.4) Treatment: key decisions and key interventions.5) Management: post-intervention expectations.6) Evidence: the rationale behind the preceding treatment and an overview of any controversies.
Plastic Surgery, A Problem Based Approach is a valuable reference tool for surgical trainees, medical students, healthcare professionals and plastic and reconstructive surgeons.
