Customer Reviews

No Maxillo-facial Surgery in this edition

Great book for 1st year interns, just starting the specialty. This edition does not have the maxilo-facial surgery that the 9th ed. had. Also, i dind't find any new content, not even small changes. So, great if you don't have the 9th ed, bad if you do.

The Canniesburn legacy

It is the very essence of our specialty. Clever tips and tricks originally written by one of the most distinguished pioneers in the field of reconstructive plastic surgery, Ian McGregor. He was one of the fine surgeons that built the Canniesburn legacy. An excellent surgeon and the teacher of a myriad of followers. Ian Jackson and David Soutar to name a few. Even though I miss the chapter of head and neck reconstruction from the previous edition it is one of my favorite short textbooks of plastic surgery. This book is an outstanding base for the understanding of plastic surgery principles.

Great Value and Efficient Delivery

Great value and efficient delivery makes 5 stars for me. This book was highly recommended to my husband by his colleagues.

A Must Buy

This is an excellent book to get you started (and keep you going!)in your plastic surgery rotation, it has all the basic principles supported with diagrams and clinical applications - and best of all it's very easy to read. The earlier editions have a chapter on Maxillofacial injuries, which has been omitted this time around. I just photocopied the chapter from an earlier edition!I highly recommend this to all prospective surgeons- whatever your field of specialty.
