The book will be of interest to physicians in multiple specialties, including plastic and general surgery, pain management, neurology, and neurosurgery. ... The book is well illustrated, and the quality of drawings and surgical photographs is remarkable. ... This is an excellent summary of the surgical treatment of headaches from a plastic surgeon's perspective.
