Simple local flaps. Klaassen M., Brown E., Bekhen F.

This book is a practical guide considering local flaps taking into account their structure, blood supply, geometry and methods of movement. The first chapters are devoted to the fundamental foundations - basic procedures, markings and technical features, as well as the principles of caring for the wound and treatment of scars. The practical recommendations presented here are invaluable for cadets studying under the plastic surgery program, however, experienced surgeons will also be useful.

Subsequent chapters are devoted to standard methods that are usually included in the training program, and also describe the 10 most common flaps. The reader will find here practical instructions for the use of W- and Z-plastics and their modifications, which can be used both in the revision of scars and to close the donor regions. In addition, the book considers the use of a perforated trapezoidal (Keystone) flap in different places in ambiguous situations.

In the last chapters, emphasis on the principles of evaluating, making a decision and analysis of clinical situations: how to determine whether plasticity is plastic the skin is the best solution that you should know about aesthetic features and how to deal with complications.

The task of this book is not to provide the reader with a ready-made solution for the use of flaps, but to teach students and cadets a meaningful patient-oriented approach to the problem of reconstruction from taking into account anatomical factors and an accurate understanding of the possibilities of the methodology used.
