Manual of Operative Maxillofacial Trauma Surgery

This book demonstrates procedures in maxillofacial surgery. It illustrates key steps using operative photos and line diagrams. It also describes alternative approaches such as transconjunctival, blepharoplasty or tarsal approaches to the orbit.

This manual is a condensed and didactic "how to" book, demonstrating surgical procedures in a step by step manner. It is fully comprehensive and highly illustrated (in colour, using mostly operative photographs), restricted solely to the surgical management of maxillofacial trauma, but includes most of the surfical approaches and methods of repair for all maxillofacial injuries. By including all surgical procedures (in trauma) this manual will make a useful and portable accompaniment to the Atlas of Operative Maxillofacial Trauma Surgery. It will be a good resource for all trainees, not only in maxillofacial surgery, but also in other related specialties.

The book will cover treatment to all injury patterns encountered in maxillofacial practice Alternative approaches will be described (as such as transconjunctival, blepharoplasty or tarsal approaches to the orbit) to cover all different kinds, yet commonly used, training methods Key steps will be illustrated using operative photos
