CRANIOFACIAL SURGERY offers a comprehensive update on most aspects of craniofacial surgery. It covers not only the latest surgical techniques for craniofacial anomalies, but also the basic science -- including genetics and molecular biology -- behind these anomalies. Most importantly, this resource features a multi-disciplinary approach, with experts in the areas of plastic surgery and neurosurgery collaborating to provide a more complete view of the management of patients with craniofacial anomalies.
Features authors and contributors who are recognized leaders in their respective fields, with multiple experiences and viewpoints - providing the reader with both authoritative and comprehensive information
Covers both time-tested and the latest innovative surgical techniques
Basic science chapters emphasize and highlight: skull and facial development (embryology and morphogenesis), genetics of common anomalies, and the latest advances and techniques in molecular biology as they pertain to craniofacial anomalies
Covers the fields of embryology, genetics, molecular biology, biomaterials, and biomechanics since advances in treatment are evolving from macroscopic manipulation to microscopic
Clinical chapters emphasize and highlight: collaboration between multiple specialties (plastic surgery, neurosurgery, radiology) necessary for successful treatment and the latest technological advances and biomaterials used in craniofacial surgery, including bone substitutes, the latest fixation techniques, endoscopic surgery techniques and distraction osteogenesis techniques
Features extensive illustrations of anomalies and techniques to aid in understanding concepts and treatments
