At nearly 8,000 pages, the new edition of this classic masterwork - previously edited by Joseph G. McCarthy, MD - represents today's most comprehensive collection of scientific and clinical knowledge in the field. Its eight volumes provide detailed, authoritative guidance on general principles - head and neck surgery - pediatric plastic surgery - tumors of the head, neck, and skin - the trunk and lower extremity - and the hand and upper limb. The content, list of contributors, and organization have undergone sweeping updates to reflect all of the monumental changes of the last 15 years. Coverage of aesthetic procedures has increased by 20%. Over 10,500 exquisite images - with three volumes illustrated entirely in color - demonstrate a complete range of essential concepts and techniques. A new companion web site allows users to view and search the contents of the entire eight volume set online, click on references linked to Medline for further reading, and take advantage of content updates that will ensure they are up to date on new developments in the field.
