Ferraro's Fundamentals of Maxillofacial Surgery is the newly revised and updated second edition of the text originally edited by James W. Ferraro. Written for trainees and students as well as experts in oral and maxillofacial surgery, and experts in related subspecialties such as otolaryngology and plastic surgery, this highly illustrated text is an invaluable source of hands-on, practical knowledge for those taking the ASMS Basic Course, or for any specialist seeking a comprehensive review of maxillofacial surgery.

James Ferraro, President of the American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons, presents this comprehensive volume, based on the Societys annual courses. He brings together top names in the field to cover the anatomy and basic techniques of both the hard and soft tissue elements. While serving as an ideal introduction for residents this also makes for a subject review and "refresher course" for more experienced surgeons. Over 300 exclusive line drawings accompany discussions of embryology of the head and neck; oral, head and neck anatomy; basic principles of bone fixation; and traumatic deformities and fractures of the mandible, mid and upper face.

The second edition of Operative Plastic Surgery is a fully-updated, comprehensive text that discusses the most common plastic surgery procedures in great detail. It covers the classic techniques in plastic surgery, as well as the most recent technical advances, while maintaining a systematic approach to patient care within each chapter. Traversing the entirety of the human body, each chapter addresses assessment of defects, preoperative factors, pathology, trauma, operative indications and procedure, and more. Also covered is the operative room setup, with special consideration given to the operative plan, patient positioning and markings, and technique for each type of surgery. Detailing over 90 specific surgical techniques, this book covers both reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery. A new section addresses non-invasive techniques such as Botox, injectables, lasers, and skincare. New chapters throughout the book also include ALT flaps, nasal cleft deformities, ZMC fractures, augmentation mastoplexy, body contouring for the massive weight loss patient, and endoscopic carpal tunnel repair. Led by Gregory R.D. Evans, this volume assembles thought leaders in plastic surgery to present operative surgery in a clear, didactic, and comprehensive manner, and lays the groundwork for ideas that we have just scratched the surface of, such as translational research, fat grafting, stem cells, and tissue engineering.

Surgery is an invasive technique that involves the physical intervention on organs or tissues for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. The surgical specialty that focuses on the reconstructive surgery of the face, facial trauma surgery, oral cavity, head and neck, mouth and jaw, and facial cosmetic surgery is referred to as oral and maxillofacial surgery. Subspecialties of oral and maxillofacial surgery include cosmetic facial surgery, craniofacial surgery, microvascular reconstruction and maxillofacial regeneration. The purpose of reconstructive surgery is to rebuild the body parts for its proper functioning. Cosmetic surgery is done to improve the natural appearance of a person. Various surgical procedures performed on the craniomaxillofacial complex include dentoalveolar surgery to extract impacted teeth, orthognathic surgery for treatment of dentofacial deformity, cosmetic surgery of the head and neck for browlift, cheek augmentation, and neck liposuction. The topics included in this book on oral and maxillofacial surgery are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Through it, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts in this area of surgery.

Since the first edition was published, this book has become the standard text for trainees in oral and maxillofacial surgery preparing for their exit examinations (intercollegiate FRCS). This third edition represents a major advance with each chapter thoroughly revised and updated and relevant new topics added, such as robotics, laser resurfacing and face transplantation. Once again, the editors have selected renowned experts from around the world to author the chapters, ensuring that the book continues to reflect international best practices.
