The definitive resource on surgical flaps from renowned MD Anderson plastic surgeons

Handbook of Reconstructive Flaps
by Matthew Hanasono and Charles Butler reflects contributions from
clinicians associated with the prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Center.
The institution is internationally recognized as one of the world\'s
premier reconstructive centers and renowned for its Reconstructive
Microsurgery fellowship program. This unique resource provides a
comprehensive review of microvascular surgery techniques using the most
common reconstructive pedicle flaps, free flaps, perforator flaps, and
workhorse flaps.

Seven parts organized anatomically detail flaps
used for the head/neck, chest, back, abdomen, pelvis, upper extremity,
and lower extremity, followed by an eighth part on lymphedema. Each flap
or procedure includes pertinent anatomy, indications for usage,
preoperative considerations, a concise step-by-step description of the
operative setup, the actual procedure, and donor site closure.
