Plastic Surgery: Clinical Problem Solving

The Only Comprehensive Guide to Management Strategies in Plastic Surgery Current surgery textbooks and review manuals emphasize pathology before management. However, clinical medicine is never so lucid. "Clinical Problem Solving in Plastic Surgery" takes the opposite approach, using numerous, unknown clinical scenarios to review the surgical principles that guide successful management strategies. Each chapter is organized by an unknown case, and ends with an algorithm.
