Good door stop by S. Cunneen  1 Stars
August 28, 2007
I've been trying to study from this book for the past year and have found it poorly indexed, with minimal useful information for the early plastic surgery trainee compared to other sources availible which are far more indepth relevant and cheap. The online material is frustrating and is limited to only 2 computers. Not useful enough to justify the cost at my early level of training.

Let the buyer beware by S. Morris (Saginaw, MI United States)  2 Stars
March 13, 2006
I am a Plastic Surgeon and thus very interested in the subject matter. The The Text is actually very good but you will be cheated with the online access. 1. access is slow. Elsevier has not fixed this problem since it was brought to their attention last summer. 2. There is a floating copyright notice that moves over the illustrations. This is incredibly annoying and distracting. 3. You will only be allowed to access the Online Edition from two different computers. What good is that if you work in six or seven different locations. 4. You will not be allowed to export any illustrations for use in teaching etc.
The content is good but the way the Online Edition has been managed borders on fraud!

The ultimate plastic surgery reference by Michael J. Bass (Galveston, TX) 5 Stars
January 08, 2006
This 8 volume plastic surgery treatise, taken as a single reference, is the largest medical book in the history of medical documentation. This is the fourth version of this series started by John Marquis Converse for the first two editions (1964, 1977), continued by Joseph G. McCarthy (1990), and now edited by Stephen J. Mathes (2005). The vast spectrum of medical diseases treated by plastic surgeons are covered in 219 chapters broken down into 8 logical reference books: (1) General Principles, (2, 3) Head and Neck, Parts 1 and 2, (4) Pediatric Plastic Surgery, (5) Tumors of the Head, Neck, and Skin, (6) Trunk and Lower Extremity, and (7, 8) The Hand and Upper Limb, Parts 1 and 2. Illustrated with thousands of pictures and drawings, the human maladies and conditions treated by plastic surgeons are beautifully presented for educational edification. This is a must reference for possibly the next 10-15 years for current and in-training plastic surgeons.
