FIVE STARS from Doody’s Star Ratings™

A step-by-step manual on the use of reconstructive surgery flaps – from planning to execution

Written by pioneering, world renowned flap surgeons, this is the quintessential manual on the use of reconstructive flaps – with detailed, easy-to-follow instructions. Overview chapters on each major anatomical area provide a general approach to reconstruction, with detailed tutorials on workhorse flaps in the A to Z section. The didactic text is enhanced with high quality operative photographs, illustrations, and videos, resulting in a resource that enables integration of these techniques into surgical practice.

Key Highlights

  • Progressive intraoperative photos and superb illustrations guide the reader through safe and efficacious flap approaches
  • Planning and decision-making chapters cover basic principles, microsurgery, imaging, and an overview of current options
  • Flaps section details the multivariate usages of microsurgical flaps, pedicled flaps, perforator flaps, and more
  • Videos focus on the anatomy and basic principles of technique for a range of common flaps further delineating and simplifying flap surgery for the practitioner
  • The Masterclasses section is packed with state of the art innovations, personal experience, and insights on managing challenging reconstructions

This book is a stellar, step-by-step guide on the reconstruction of most anatomical defects using clinically proven flaps. It is an essential reference for practicing and trainee surgeons in general and specialized surgical disciplines. Plastic and reconstructive, trauma/burn, orthopaedic, otolaryngology-head and neck, and maxillofacial surgeons will greatly benefit from this comprehensive resource.

  1. Dr. Julian Thorne –

    Honestly a lifesaver for boards prep. It’s hard to keep track of every foundational paper but this book puts them all in one place with actual commentary from the legends who wrote them. It’s not just a summary. It explains the “why” behind the techniques we use every day. Definitely worth the investment if you’re serious about reconstruction.

  2. Sarah M. –

    just got my copy and wow… the layout is super clean. i love that i dont have to go digging through old journals to find the landmark studies anymore. the expert commentary at the end of each chapter adds so much value bc it shows how the research actually evolved into modern practice. feels like having a mentor guiding u through the literature.

  3. Marcus Chen, MD –

    Finally a textbook that isnt just dry theory. The added value here is the context. You get the original findings plus modern reflections. I found the section on abdominal wall reconstruction particularly helpful for my current fellowship. It’s a bit heavy to carry around but the digital version is great for quick ref between cases. 5 stars.

  4. P. Richards –

    great resource for residents!! its rare to find a book that bridges the gap between historic papers and current surgical standards so well. it really helps u understand the evidence base for what we do in the OR. it’s helped me feel much more confident during grand rounds when the attending starts asking about the history of certain flaps.

  5. Dr. Amit Varma –

    Finally finished going through the breast reconstruction chapters. The real value is the expert analysis at the end of each study. It’s one thing to read a paper from the 80s but having a modern expert explain how those findings led to the current gold standard is massive. It saves so much time compared to searching through old journals. High yield and perfect for senior residents.

  6. Alexander J. –

    This is essentially the “greatest hits” of plastic surgery but with the behind-the-scenes commentary you usually only get at major conferences. The real value is seeing the thought process behind the evolution of certain flaps and techniques. It’s helped me bridge the gap between just knowing how to do a procedure and understanding the clinical evidence of why we do it that way. If you’re building a professional library, this is a cornerstone volume.

  7. Elena Vance –

    i was hesitant because of the price but the depth of info is incredible. what i found most unique is how dr. khajuria got the original authors to weigh in on their own work years later. it’s like a historical narrative of the specialty. it makes the literature much more approachable and less like a chore to read through. perfect for catching up on high-yield topics during my commute.

  8. Dr. Aris Thorne –

    Every surgical resident knows the feeling of being grilled on landmark trials during rounds. This book is the ultimate cheat code for that. But beyond just “survival,” the added value is the expert synthesis. It takes dense, decades-old data and translates it into modern surgical pearls. The section on hand surgery is particularly brilliant. It’s very rare to find a textbook that is this engaging and clinically relevant at the same time.
