An easy-to-understand book + DVD guide to the development, design and surgical application of the Keystone Perforator Island Flap.
The The Keystone Perforator Island Flap Concept is the definitive guide to the development, design and surgical application of the Keystone Perforator Island Flap.
Clearly presented and easy to follow, this excellent Australian publication features an accompanying DVD which further explores this relatively new but effective technique.
The text features three sections which address: the fundamentals of Keystone Perforator Island Flaps; clinical applications of Keystone Perforator Island Flaps by anatomical regions; and special applications of Keystone Perforator Island Flaps, including oncology, radiotherapy and trauma related defects.
The book’s expert authors discuss the design elements forming the basis for the Keystone Perforator Island Flap, examine specific defects in various body regions and show how Keystone Perforator Island Flaps have been used successfully in a wide range of applications.
Clinical cases employing this reconstructive surgical technique are featured throughout the text. These are accompanied by intraoperative videos and detailed photos showing the operative sequence and post-operative results of the Keystone Perforator Island Flap concept. Complications, if any, are detailed.
Boxed sections within The Keystone Perforator Island Flap Concept outline additional information, history, neurovascular anatomy based on dermatomal delineations, reconstructive alternatives and technical refinements.
Chapters focusing on the use of the Keystone Perforator Island Flap for specific surgical specialities, such as head and neck, melanoma, trauma and even irradiated tissue, further establish the Keystone Perforator Island Flap technique’s value as a supplement to the reconstructive repertoire in the field of reparative surgery.
