Review
From the reviews:
"This useful book outlines the
common complications that can occur in cutaneous surgery. This
information can be found in other books, but not in such a focused and
concentrated style. The audience includes surgeons from residents to
experienced practitioners. … This book is great – useful, complete, and
discussing a topic not well covered in the literature. It should be
required reading for all residents expecting to practice cutaneous
surgery." (Jon C Starr, Doody’s Review Service, May 2008)
"...a
must-read for clinicians setting up a clinical practice, especially a
general dermatology practice incorporating dermatologic surgery." (Cory
A. Dunnick and Robert P. Dellavalle, JAMA, July 2008)
"The
multiauthored book is nearly evenly divided into sections on acute
surgical complications … . There is an extensive discussion of wound
problems from dehiscence to hypertrophic scars and keloids. … Overall,
this is a unique and valuable text. The multiauthored format includes
many prominent dermatologic surgeons from around the United States. … I
believe this is a textbook that should be read by every dermatologic
surgeon." (Dermatologic Surgery Journal, Vol. 35 (5), 2009)
