Overview

Introducing a comprehensive, encyclopedic text dedicated to cutaneous surgery and reconstruction – valuable to both specialists and non-specialists Dermatologic Surgery is the first book to combine the benefits of an authoritative, evidence-based, multi-authored textbook with a practical, well-illustrated, step-by-step procedural guide complete with photographs, pearls, and pitfalls.  Chapters follow a strict format that includes an introduction, evidence-based discussion, step-by-step guidance through a procedure, including numerous high-quality photographs demonstrating every critical step of the procedure, along with pearls and pitfalls.  The experience of reading these chapters is more akin to attending a detailed clinical hands-on workshop, rather than simply reading a staid text. More than 150 online videos offer step-by-step procedural guidance. Dermatologic Surgery is the first skin surgery text to fully address the important topic of billing and financial considerations. This material underscores the practical utility of the book,  proving it is not simply an academic outline of skin surgery, but, is a true primer for real-world skin surgery practice.
