Название книги: McGraw-Hill Plastic Surgery Atlas Body Contouring
Формат: PDF
Жанр: Пластическая хирургия

For each procedure, you’ll find a complete review of key topics, including:
Introduction to the surgical approach
Relevant anatomy
Indications
Markings
Details of the procedure (incision and exposure)
Postoperative care
Pitfalls
Tips
Part I of Body Contouring addresses important clinical concerns such as the safety of surgical techniques, intraoperative positioning, psychological issues, and issues pertaining to massive weight loss and surgical wound care. Part II then reviews specific body contouring surgical procedures by body region, beginning with the upper extremity, and proceeding to the female breast, male chest (gynecomastia), abdomen, back, and lower extremity.

Learn all aspects of body contouring surgery, step by step:

Breast surgery: Reduction; Mastopexy; Augmentation; Lifting; Gynecomastia; Arm and thigh contouring with liposuction and excisional techniques; Abdominoplasty, upper and lower, with hernia repair techniques; Back contouring

Breast and body-contouring surgery, discussed in the literature for hundreds of years, has
increasingly evolved over time. While new techniques are hardly ever actually new (once an
intensive literature search is done), we do see change, whether it be the addition of a new suspension
suture or a combination of techniques that were not combined before. This field has
applications across a broad swath of the population, from the petite “mommy” looking for a
makeover to the male who lost more than 100 lb after gastric bypass surgery. There are many
techniques to cover, and we aim to include an excellent representation.
This atlas is directed to residents preparing for surgical cases and to seasoned plastic
surgeons hoping to innovate or refresh their current surgical repertoire. We cover the scope of
breast surgery, including reduction, augmentation, lifting, and gynecomastia; arm and thigh
contouring with liposuction and excisional techniques; abdominoplasty, upper and lower,
with hernia repair techniques; and back contouring. We have included the traditional, well-hewn
techniques, as well as techniques which are increasingly finding a place in contemporary plastic
surgery. Every surgeon needs to be equipped with a handful of techniques for each type of
surgery, such as breast reduction or gynecomastia or thigh lift, to best serve the broad range of
patient presentations we see.
Each section includes detailed anatomic illustrations by Bill Winn describing the regions of
interest. These illustrations should provide a landscape for surgical planning. The illustrations
guide important planes for surgical dissection. They also provide information about neurovascular
anatomy to understand supply to the skin and muscle, and importantly, to avoid injury.
This atlas opens with discussions regarding perioperative issues. We are performing procedures
that involve greater time in the operating room and are combining multiple procedures
that complement one another. Positioning resulting in prolonged compression or stretch must
be avoided, as sequelae may be permanent and disabling. We have patients with baseline medical
issues and medications that need to be considered in designing the safest surgical approach
and in advising patients. We need to anticipate and prevent bad outcomes and optimize postoperative
care. This atlas provides this perioperative guidance while also describing surgical
technique.
The endpoint of breast and body-contouring surgery is provision of the best possible contour
while respecting important safety issues and continually innovating to improve outcomes.
The goal of this atlas is to help in this endeavor and provide a “soup to nuts” approach to plastic
surgery of the breast and body.
