Raising of Microvascular Flaps provides all those dealing with microsurgical tissue transfer, i.e. plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, trauma surgeons, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons with all they need to know in their daily practice. The systematic approach of this operative manual is based on photographs of perfect quality showing cadaver preparations alongside with explanatory colour drawings to even enhance the understanding of the anatomy through 3D perspectives and by also showing structures that are hidden in preparation. A clear didactic structure and perfect artwork supply the surgeon with invaluable guidelines for his daily work.
Focusing on comprehensive, precise and teaching information, this text atlas is highly instructive.
