Could be much better by W. Williams (Denver)  2 Stars
August 29, 2009
I found the book to be really frustrating. The authors leave you with missing information. Why did they show only 2 pictures when describing many of the flaps? This is what they did in discussing flap after flap: the first picture shows the lesion or the excised lesion, the second picture shows the healed repair. Oh thanks for showing off your perfect result. How about showing the flap design? They did this over and over. They'll show patients with extensive defects, then the text just gives the most rudimentary explanation of how they did the repair and no picture of the flap design or the repair in progress. If I knew how to do all of the flaps without any explanation or pictures, why would I need this book? I wouldn't, so that's why I got this book hoping it would be a resource to help with design and repair. On that point the book is a miss. If the next version gave a step by step guide on how to do each flap, then this will be an indispensable reference in your library and it will deserve 5 stars. Until then, it's not all that much help.

Finally, a flaps fook with photos by johnstrass (Miami, USA)  5 Stars
April 15, 2007
Does the world really need another facial reconstruction book? I did not think so, since I already own a few.
I recently was able to flip trough this and was amazed by the photographs. It is very nice to have an "atlas of holes" with sketches of different flap superimposed with the authors' reasoning nicely contained in the text. It is like having Ramsey Millette in your living room.
There are, of course some reconstructions which I would not have done but that is the beauty of dermatologic plastic surgery: there are usually a few good options.
This book is not for the beginner, although it does have a nice description of flaps including the most straigtforward explanation of mechanics of specific flaps that I have seen illustrated. This will be useful if you perform a large number of facial skin reconstructive surgeries.
The eyelid reconstruction was the best I have seen in a book not completely devonted to periorbital surgery.
While there are many authors it is obvious that Dr. Buchen had heavily edited this text, making it very readable.
