This book describes in detail the indications for, and surgical technique and postoperative care of microsurgical transplantation of tissue and replantation of amputated parts. It is intended for residents and trainees who need an easy reference source for the background and technique of these procedures as well as by more experienced microsurgeons, orthopedic and plastic surgeons seeking a single and consistent philosophy of treatment. The surgical technique section is presented in atlas form with unique detailed plates of anatomic dissections. The magnificent color illustrations provide a basis for understanding each of the microvascular flaps. Of particular interest, too, is the gamut of toe transplant procedures, the new approach to the indications for vascularized bone transplantation presented here for the first time, the detailed techniques of bone fixation in replantation and, finally, monitoring techniques after surgery. An important feature of the book is the comparison of the microvascular treatment methods described with existing, more conventional techniques.
