Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (Oxford Specialist Handbooks in Surgery) Paperback – 9 Jun. 2016

Recomiendo este libro a todos los residentes de cirugía plástica en formación. Contiene una información introductoria a todos los capítulos que hay en la especialidad.Es un libro que os resultará muy útil como inicio a un tema para luego ampliar por otros textos más avanzados, pero os permite saber por dónde van los tiros desde el primer momento, con información muy actualizada y técnicas muy establecidas.Imprescindible.Luis Landin JarilloCirugía Plástica y ReparadoraMadrid, España.

Excellent coverage of all aspects of the plastic surgery curriculum. It provides an excellent guide to what depth of knowledge is required for the fellowship exam. Surprisingly some extremely complex concepts have been explained in such a lucid manner for such a small sized book. Comes in very handy during the revisions and that half hour when you have just been to one set of examiners and are waiting to go before the next pair. I will strongly recommend plastic surgery trainees to start getting hooked to it from the earlier years of training.

I found the Oxford handbook of plastic and reconstructive surgery a very complete and exhaustive reference in the field. Bearing in mind that, imo, no Oxford handbook will ever be able to reach the quality and level of the "original" one (the Oxford handbook of clinical medicine) this covers really every aspect of plastic and reconstructive surgery in a very concise matter. Like all the other Oxford, it would benefit by more (and better) explanatory diagrams, drawings and pictures. Yes, I am glad I bought it.

With my FRCS(Plast) examination looming large, what a timely resource. Sure, none of the handbooks (Stone, Michigan, Richards, Weinzweig and Chiu) are going to substitute for hitting the tomes (Grabb and Smith, Mathes) with adequate supplementation (Selected Readings, Lister etc), but this really brings it together in a structured, syllabus-based schema. Minor quibbles aside, e.g. inaccurate index, the real strength is its practicality: for example, pragmatic 'been there, this works for me' tips on a diverse range of flap elevations. Corny phrase, but, "If you were to buy one (hand)book..."

yet another plastic surgery handbook. i pity the day that these surgeons who pass their exams purely with these handbooks will become consultant plastic surgeons. one of the reviews made particularly sickly reading.well worth avoiding, this further plastic surgery manual.

Very handy for when on the go.Has all you need to know in a pocket size guide.This whole series of books tend to be great and this is no exception.Good pictures/diagrams too.

This book was very useful for junior surgeons either rotating through a plastic surgical rotation or for junior registrars to brush up on their knowledge! More pictures would have been more interesting to read.
