Bostwick's Plastic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery - Two Volume Set


Book Description

Few surgical texts are able to provide readers with a level of descriptive and visual detail sufficient to be considered a primary manual for surgical procedures. Surgeons typically face the daunting task of extensive research through various texts to piece together a picture comprehensive enough to guide them through a new procedure.

This comprehensive text encompasses every key ingredient for a step-by-step surgical guide to breast surgery: An expanded microsurgical section incorporating the most widely used flaps and recent advances Extensive coverage of revolutionary prepectoral breast reconstruction, both single stage direct-to-implant approaches and 2-stage expander-implant pre-pectoral reconstruction A comprehensive approach to lymphedema surgery Exposure to state-of-the-art implant technology Contributing authors from around the globe who are heralded as the best in their field at technique and innovation Detailed coverage of relevant and groundbreaking new technologies that are redefining plastic surgery of the breast Step-by-step detailed technical operative details including technical nuances rarely outlined in surgical texts High-quality, updated surgical images and intricate surgical illustrations as well as pertinent radiographic examples An extensive collection of pertinent surgical videos, which stream directly from the publisher's website Technical caveats to ensure success of the surgical techniques described Concise but thorough chapters presented in both print and electronic formats for easy access by busy surgeons Surgeons must be highly skilled in cosmetic breast surgery as well as in prepectoral approaches, single-stage direct-to-implant reconstruction, and microsurgery to remain competitive in the plastic and reconstructive breast surgery field.

Co-authored by renowned surgeons and a noted publisher and medical editor, this popular and authoritative book has become a trusted resource and valuable patient education tool. Featured on numerous national talk shows (including Oprah), the authors candidly discuss the full range of breast care, breast cancer treatment, and breast reconstructive options. Many doctors and breast centers use this book as their preferred method of informed consent. Patients love it, and breast centers, support groups, physicians, and societies recommend it.

This new fourth edition has been totally revised and updated to reflect the latest developments in breast cancer treatment and recent advances in breast reconstruction. Written in an accessible manner, it provides women and their families with the information they need to make decisions about their own health care. Best of all, it takes complex and frightening topics and explains them in an understandable and non-threatening manner, providing women with the knowledge they need to feel confident in their decisions, their therapies, and their caregivers.

Many readers have commented that these interviews were "lifesavers" for them because they took away the fear of the unknown. They were reassured by the comments of other women who had walked in their shoes and offered advice to help cope with their treatments. They also appreciated the candid comments these women made about the different reconstructive therapies, fully sharing their experiences and detailing their decisions, therapies, pain, recuperation, complications, and coping mechanisms.
