Global Surgery & Anesthesia
Practical Plastic Surgery for Nonsurgeons
Many patients with commonly encountered injuries and wounds could benefit from treatment by a plastic surgeon. However, due to a paucity of these specialists in rural areas and in the developing world, many patients do not have access to their expertise.
Practical Plastic Surgery for Nonsurgeons was written to bring plastic surgical expertise to areas with little access to plastic surgeons. The goal is to hasten recovery, prevent long-term disability, and obtain the best possible outcome for patients.
Health Care providers should use this resource for practical plastic surgical information and techniques. Access to high tech equipment or advanced surgical skills is not needed to benefit from this information.
