Book SynopsisFilled with take-away messages and valuable insights, Aesthetic Breast Surgery by Elizabeth Hall-Findlay, MD, is a masterful text that you will refer to time and again. It presents a personal and time-proven approach to all forms of aesthetic breast surgery. This book is a distillation of the author's extensive experience and provides her unique perspective on problem-solving and patient analysis. Dr. Hall-Findlay has spent years measuring and studying patient results to help other surgeons use "science" to improve the "art" of aesthetic breast surgery. She has developed an approach to analysis and surgery which is simple and consistent-with results that can be achieved by all surgeons. Prepare Yourself for a Master Class in Aesthetic Breast Surgery With personal insights and wisdom pervading every page, this book provides the reader with a master class in aesthetic breast surgery by one of the world's leading experts. Dr. Hall-Findlay is widely known for her popularization of the medial pedicle approach to vertical breast reduction and this is covered in depth. However, her accomplishments in breast surgery extend far beyond this technique. Her ongoing innovations continue to advance the field. In this semi-atlas work, she brings her considerable expertise to bear on the range of aesthetic breast surgery procedures as she describes her individual approach to patient evaluation, operative planning, clinical decision-making, and operative technique. Comprehensive Coverage Divided into nine comprehensive chapters, the book begins with key chapters on analysis, concepts, applied anatomy, and patient selection that lay the foundation for the technical descriptions that follow. These introductory chapters are not to be missed. They offer a unique approach to patient assessment and alert the reader to critical anatomic landmarks that strongly influence the success of operative procedures. Concepts such as the breast footprint (high-breasted and low-breasted patients) are examined to help readers understand the realistic possibilities for what can and cannot be achieved when planning breast surgery. The emphasis is on the decision-making process involved in choosing the right approach for each patient and then planning the procedure with these landmarks in mind. The next seven chapters are devoted to operative technique. A consistent format is used in each chapter with detailed information on patient evaluation, planning, technique, revisions, complications, and outcomes. These pages are liberally illustrated with step-by-step descriptions depicting breast augmentation, vertical breast reduction with the medial pedicle, liposuction-only breast reduction, mastopexy, mastopexy/augmentation, and surgery for breast asymmetries. Information on avoidance and treatment of problems and complications is also highlighted throughout the book. Of particular note is the comprehensive information on nipple necrosis in the reduction chapter; this provides essential information to help surgeons who are faced with decreased blood supply to the nipple. Beautifully Illustrated Beautiful and dramatic color illustrations and numerous preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative images help the reader visualize the steps of each procedure and appreciate the excellent long-term results that can be achieved. Unique Features Throughout the technique chapters, artwork icons are paired with photographic images to better elucidate the surgical technique being described. Key points are highlighted, and a summary box outlining central issues concludes each chapter. Two DVDs contain operative video to complement the text.Table of ContentsContents PART I Concepts and Principles 1 Breast Analysis and Clinical Concepts 2 Applied Anatomy: Key Concepts for Modern Breast Surgery 3 Surgical Principles 4 Patient Selection, Education, and Surgical Decision Making PART II Technique 5 Breast Augmentation 6 Vertical Breast Reduction 7 Liposuction-Only Breast Reduction 8 Breast Re-reduction 9 Mastopexy 10 Mastopexy-Augmentation 11 Nipple Necrosis 12 Breast Asymmetry Index Video Contents Breast Augmentation Video A-1: Preoperative markings for subglandular breast augmentation Video A-2: Intraoperative review of markings for subglandular breastaugmentation Video A-3: Infiltration for subglandular breast augmentation Video A-4: Pocket dissection for subglandular breast augmentation Video A-5: Implant insertion for subglandular breast augmentation Video A-6: Incision closure for subglandular breast augmentation Video A-7: Wrap-up for subglandular breast augmentation Video B-1: Preoperative markings for subpectoral breast augmentation Video B-2: Intraoperative review of markings for subpectoral breast augmentation Video B-3: Infiltration for subpectoral breast augmentation Video B-4: Pocket dissection for subpectoral breast augmentation Video B-5: Implant insertion for subpectoral breast augmentation Video B-6: Incision closure for subpectoral breast augmentation Video B-7: Wrap-up for subpectoral breast augmentation Vertical Breast Reduction Preoperative markings Intraoperative review of markings Infiltration Pedicle creation Parenchymal resection Pillar closure Closure of dermis Liposuction for contouring Skin closure Wrap-up Breast Re-reduction Video A: Re-reduction of previous vertical breast reduction Video B: Re-reduction of previous inverted-T breast reduction Mastopexy Preoperative markings Intraoperative review of markings Infiltration Deepithelialization Creation of inferior wedge Elevation of pectoralis strip Closure of pillars Closure of dermis Skin closure Wrap-up Mastopexy-Augmentation Preoperative markings Intraoperative review of markings Infiltration Pedicle creation Inferior wedge excision Subpectoral pocket dissection Pillar closure Skin closure Wrap-up

Book SynopsisThe difference in the shapes of facial structures and their relationship to one another determines the unique and distinct appearance of each individual. This anatomic information is critical to diagnosing changes in facial topography that occur with age and in determining the best approach for augmenting and rejuvenating the aging face. Facial Topography: Clinical Anatomy of the Face provides a critical roadmap for navigating the underlying anatomy of the face. It is the first work of its type that uses cadaver dissections paired with detailed medical illustrations to depict the soft tissue surface landmarks of the face-shapes, contours, creases, and lines. This beautifully illustrated semi-atlas is packed with clinical information to help improve surgical outcomes. The book places particular emphasis on describing surface landmarks to help predict the location of deeper structures. This knowledge increases the safety of any facial procedure, because the surgeon knows the course and location of blood vessels, muscles, and nerves. The book includes advice on determining the best placement of injectables to achieve a predictable and aesthetic result and to avoid complications, and also helps surgeons understand the ideal placement of fillers for facial augmentation. In addition, the basic dissections provide essential information for all residents and practitioners operating in the face.

Book SynopsisThe thorax has a fundamental role in the aesthetic of the male body: congenital or acquired alterations are experienced as extremely frustrating clinical situations. Most breast surgery texts briefly mention gynecomastia, but no text comprehensively addresses the male breast and thorax, including reconstructive and cosmetic surgery and surgery in transgender patients. This gap is now thoroughly filled by Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery of the Male Breast: after introducing principles of anatomy and aesthetics for the male thorax, the first part focusses on the main congenital malformations and their treatment; the main benign acquired pathologies and their treatment (including an ample section dedicated to gynecomastia), the carcinoma of the male breast, with reference to familiar forms; the treatment of carcinoma and reconstruction of the thorax. The book closes with a chapter dedicated to breast surgery in transgender patients. While female breast surgery is increasingly practiced in specific Breast Units and highly specialized centers, male breast issues are treated in general and plastic surgeries units. This handy volume is a sound reference for the most complex clinical cases, and the latest reconstruction treatments for the male thorax and will be useful for general and thoracic surgeons, plastic surgeons and senologists.Trade ReviewTable of ContentsPart 1 Aesthetic Aspects of the Male Chest.- 1 Arts and Aesthetics of Male Chest.- Part 2 Anatomy of the Male Chest.- 2 Preoperative considerations on the thorax: Anatomy and Surgical Landmarks.- Part 3 Male Chest Congenital Pathologies.- 3 Poland syndrome.- 4 Pectus excavatum.- Pectus carenatum.- Part 4 Benign Pathologies of Male Breast.- 6 Gynecomastia.- 7 Gynecomastia after massive weight loss: reshaping with intercostal perforator flaps.- 8 Male Tuberous Breast.- Part 5 Oncologic Pathologies of Male Breast.- 9 Skin Tumors of the Male Chest.- 10 Male Breast Cancer: Oncology.- 11 Male Breast Cancer: Oncologic Surgery.- 12 Male Breast Cancer: Reconstructive Surgery.- Part 6 Anterior Chest Wall Reconstruction.- 13 Chest Fistula repair.- 14 Reconstruction with Pedicled Flaps.- 15 Reconstruction with Free Flaps.- Part 7 Feminization of the Male Chest.- 16 Augmentation mammoplasty.- Part 8 Masculinization of the Female chest.- 17 Masculinization of the Female chest.

Book SynopsisThe oral board exam for the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS) can be intimidating to many surgeons due to the broad range of information one must know for the exam. However, while the examination guidelines provide a general outline of topics that may be covered, there is no true direction on how to prepare for it. Traditionally, candidates do so by using what are considered “underground” databanks, previous test questions, and power point presentations that run the gamut of commonly covered material. Until now, there have been no current comprehensive oral board review books available for the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery boards. Oral Board Review for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery fills that gap as the go-to resource for those attempting to successfully challenge the oral boards and for residents to polish up on their training. Edited and authored by top physicians in the field, this book is concise and easy to read, yet thorough with high yield information. An outline of the pertinent material is reviewed, and a patient work up is presented. Important questions to ask, signs to look for, and labs/images to order are included. It also includes tables and keywords that are typically mentioned on the exam and also offers explanations to some key points. Next are cases, which are presented in a question and answer format. As the case progresses, more complicated scenarios requiring management are presented. Lastly, complications are covered, which is the final section of each board scenario. Included are basic topics the surgeon needs to know, followed by topics that are nice to know, and numerous highly debated/complex questions that are discussed among candidates preparing for the exam. It should be noted that the authors are not privy to any inside information about the exam. What is presented is material candidates that have successfully passed the exam feel is important to know. This book is not endorsed by American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons or the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.Table of ContentsORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY CASE REVIEW: A STUDY GUIDE FOR THE ORAL BOARDS Editors: Robert Reti and Damian Findlay TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface - Damian Findlay and Robert Reti Section 1 - Dentoalveolar, TMJ, Maxillofacial Infections, and Implantology Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisThe book provides a framework for diagnosis and treatment of the complex facial deformities found in craniofacial microsomia and Treacher Collins syndrome. These conditions are difficult to treat due to their complexity and variable presentation. The deformities may be mild or severe and merely cosmetic to life-threatening in nature. These conditions often manifest as complex facial deformities that require multiple surgical interventions. Timing is critical when treating these patients and knowing and choosing the correct operation is key to successful outcomes. This work provides a comprehensive approach in treating these complex patient populations, seeking to answer the following questions: When to operate versus when to wait? If operating is required what operation should be performed? What is the best orthodontic approach to the associated dental deformities that develop with these conditions? How should sleep apnea be evaluated and treated in this population? What is the best management for feeding patients with these conditions? Written by experts in the field, Craniofacial Microsomia and Treacher Collins Syndrome: Comprehensive Treatment of Associated Facial Deformities aims to provide the reader with literature based best practices in treating these children from the NICU through childhood and into adulthood.Table of ContentsEtiology and Anatomical Variance in Craniofacial Microsomia Initial Evaluation of a Patient with Craniofacial MicrosomiaA look at Breathing, Feeding/Swallowing, and Speech Impairment in Patients with Craniofacial MicrosomiaExtracraniofacial Manifestations of Craniofacial MicrosomiaManagement of the Mandibular Deformity in the Growing Patient With Craniofacial MicrosomiaSurgical Management of Hemifacial Microsomia With Temporomandibular Joint MalformationDefinitive Reconstruction of Associated Maxillomandibular Deformities in Craniofacial MicrosomiaOrthodontic Considerations in the Craniofacial Microsomia PatientsManagement of Hearing Loss in Patients with Treacher-Collins Syndrome and Hemifacial MicrosomiaMicrotia Reconstruction in Patients with Craniofacial MicrosomiaCorrection of the Soft Tissue Deformities Associated with Craniofacial Microsomia: Facial Reanimation and Soft Tissue Grafting TechniquesAn Overview of Treatment and Recommendations for the Craniofacial Microsomia PatientEtiology and Anatomical Variation in Treacher Collins SyndromeInitial Evaluation of a Patient with Treacher Collins Syndrome.A look at Breathing, Feeding, and Speech Problems in Patients with Treacher Collins SyndromeAssociated Systemic Health Conditions: Associated with Treacher Collins SyndromeOphthalmologic Findings and Reconstruction of Soft Tissue Orbital Deformities: Coloboma and Lid DeformitiesCorrection of Orbital Zygomatic Deformities in the Treacher Collins PatientManagement of the Mandibular Deformity in Growing Patients with Treacher Collins SyndromeTMJ Total Joint Prosthesis in Treacher Col-lins Syndrome and Hemifacial MicrosomiaDefinitive Correction of Associated Maxillomandibular Deformities in Treacher Collins SyndromePrinciples of Orthodontic Management of Treacher Collins SyndromeHearing loss and aural rehabilitation in patients with Treacher Collins SyndromeReconstruction of the Ear Deformities Associated with Treacher Collins SyndromeRhinoplasty in Patients with Treacher Collins SyndromeAn Overview of Treatment Recommendations for the Treacher Collins Syndrome Patient

Book SynopsisWorldwide, it is quoted that 85% of Melanoma cases are treated surgically. The reliability of the Keystone Perforator Island Flap (KPIF) as a reconstructive technique has wide applications. Its low complication rate is the key to its surgical success. The technique is clearly explained in this Atlas by the author, a renowned plastic and reconstructive surgeon, who established this reconstructive principle over 20 years. The illustrations range from simple to complex cases in an easy-to-follow format. Audio files, as a supplementary tool, amplify the technique to enhance the reader’s experience and foster clear understanding. Chapters focussing on anatomical regions contain carefully selected cases accompanied by images to demonstrate a step-by-step surgical technique. The basic design format for all Keystones are highlighted, all sitting within the dermatomal precincts. The KPIF must contain a fascial base for lining and the island outline is an essential pre-requisite. It is hypothesized that this islanding creates a sympathectomy effect resulting in hyperaemic blood flow which optimises healing. Undermining up to 2/3 is permissible as long as there is a deep attachment of 1/3 at the base of the flap to contain the random perforator vascular support. This design allows the rotation, advancement and transposition (ART) of the flap to facilitate the reconstructive closures. Presumably, there are somatic and autonomic neural support lines accompanying the vascular pathways of these random perforator flaps. The vascular perforator tree must not be skeletonised (as in propellor flaps) to allow preservation of such anatomical elements - somatic, autonomic and lymphatic pathways, all of which are an essential component in any surgical repair. This KPIF provides an alternative to microvascular procedures where the biggest drawback is tissue match. The KPIF addresses this problem admirably with a low pain component, an excellent aesthetic match with a low vascular complication rate and a performed in an expeditious manner – these all characterise the KPIF. Simple solutions solve problems and this KPIF Atlas for Melanoma becomes a welcome companion to any surgical speciality including plastic and reconstructive surgeons, surgical oncologists, general surgeons and dermatologists.Table of Contents1. Principles of the Keystone.- 2. Major Head and Neck Regions Using the Keystone Technique.- 3. Major Trunk Defects Using the keystone Technique.- 4. Major Upper Limb Defects Using the Keystone Technique.- 5. Lower Limb Major Defects Closed with a KPIF technique.- 6. Conclusion.

Book SynopsisThis OpenAccess - textbook sheds new light on pathology in and around the orbit, which is typically an area where many medical disciplines overlap. Each physician brings a specific expertise, but the goal should be that the end result of all this input is much more than the sum of the parts. Collaboration, insight and overall knowledge of all parties involved are essential to achieve an optimal patient outcome.Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons have traditionally focused on the bony parts of the orbit, but usually have limited knowledge of the intricacies of binocular single vision, and for the Ophthalmologist it may be the other way around. In the past, scientific articles were often written from a single point of view, resulting in tunnel vision for the physician. The multidisciplinary approach to the orbit leads to an improvement in treatment that should not be underestimated and from which the patient benefits immensely. But especially for the physician and the trainees, a multidisciplinary consultation is a real goldmine in which a lot can be gained. Not every medical problem needs to be tackled in a multidisciplinary framework, but problems around the eye socket often do.At Amphia Hospital in Breda, the Netherlands, more than fifteen years ago, a collaboration between Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Endocrinologists, Radiologists and Ophthalmologists was initiated, which has proven to be very fruitful. The main focus was on Graves' Orbitopathy and orbital fractures, but problems associated with these conditions were also frequently encountered. For those who want to follow this example, or for those who are interested in both orbital surgery, anatomy or ophthalmological orbital issues, this book could prove to be complementary.Table of ContentsDedication (Mo)About the Authors / Special Acknowledgments (G0/Mo) Contents (Go)Preface (Mo)Introduction (Mo/Go)I Anatomy of the orbital region (Co/Go/ Mo)II Imaging of the orbit: “current concepts” (Wi)III Ex – enophthalmus (Mo)IV Diplopia (Je/Br)V Traumatologyorbital fractures (Du/Go/Mo/Di)1. diagnostics and treatment planning (Scr/(Ma/Du/Di/Go)2. algorithm - flow sheet / treatment protocol (Du/Mo/Go/Ja/Je)3. treatment of orbital fractures (Du/Go/Mo/Di/Be)4. orbital fractures in children (Du/ Go/Mo)5. emergency within the orbit (Mo/Du/Go/Di)VI Graves’ disease1.
