Customer Reviews

Readable, well laid out, up to date and relevant
With all the latest techniques that one practically needs to know, this book is the Foundation stone in the trainees knowledge base. Where book like Green's fall down because they quote reams of papers with techniques that one realistically is unlikely to ever use, G & S sticks to core knowledge. It is well written in a style that keeps the interest. Some of the content e.g the Superspecialised areas will give you a broad outline that may not be adequate but each chapter is well referenced for further reading.
This is a book popular Europe Wide and in the US which is testament to its broad appeal and accessibility.

An excellent introduction to the specialty
The essential core text for all SpR's and those considering specialising in Plastic Surgery. The introductory chapters on basic principles are well illustrated and the included CD-ROM is very helpful for presentations.
