Surgical Approaches to the Facial Skeleton [Hardcover]

Edward Ellis (Author), Michael F. Zide (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0781754992 | ISBN-13: 978-0781754996 | Publication Date: December 19, 2005 | Edition: Second

Featuring over 400 full-color surgical photographs and drawings, this text/atlas is a step-by-step guide to the surgical approaches used to expose the facial skeleton. The authors describe in detail the key anatomic structures and the technical aspects of each approach, so that the surgeon can safely gain access to the region of the craniofacial skeleton requiring surgery.

This Second Edition includes full-color intraoperative photographs that complement the surgical drawings. Several new approaches have been added—the transconjunctival approach to the medial orbit, subtarsal approach to the internal orbit, Weber-Ferguson approach to the midface, and facial degloving approach to the midface.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book for oral and maxillofacial surgeons, January 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Surgical Approaches to the Facial Skeleton (Hardcover)

This color atlas of surgical approaches, planes, and technique is an excellent book for facial surgeons to add to their collection. The book is authored by two premier oral and maxillofacial surgeons which should also prove useful to persons in the field of plastic surgery interested in facial surgical technique.

This review is from: Surgical Approaches to the Facial Skeleton (Hardcover)

I am an Army Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and just looked through my new second edition. I have used this book for several years now, through residency, and have found it to be very helpful. The new 2nd edition is much better with updated photos and illustrations, new approaches, and great explanations. I have shared this book with my ENT/Head & Neck Surgery and Plastic Surgery colleagues. I recommend this text to residents, fellows and practitioners.

5.0 out of 5 stars For dent stds who are interested in OMFS & OMFS residents, January 11, 2005

This review is from: Surgical Approaches to the Facial Skeleton (Hardcover)

I previewed this book at my school's library and was recommended to me by an OMFS resident during my externship. After flipping through the pages, the illustrations were precise and the surgical approaches and step are spelled out in detail. It was a great to see specific procedures, steps, and illustrations in this reference text after I've seen it in the OR. I've heard that Dr. Ellis is currently working on the 2nd edition of this text due out in August 2005. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy of that edition! Good luck locating a copy of the current edition, it's out-of-print and no online bookstores have this book in stock.
