Description
The dynamic nature of the medical sciences presents a constant challenge for the dermatologist, but the past 25 years have necessitated a shift in approach to the profession. With the increasing influx of biological data, and developments in diagnostic and treatment techniques, our armamentarium has expanded to treat an increasing number of pathologies and enabled the vast advancement in corrective procedures. In addition, the recent prevalence of tumor pathologies––in particular, the tumors of the skin––has resulted in a growing number of patients to seek out the dermatologist for treatment.
Dermatologists are now required to continually update their knowledge of and techniques in dermatological surgery. As many as 350 pathologies can now be treated by surgery. Also dermatologists are now dealing with an increasing number of cosmetic surgery treatments, which require the use of several devices (eg, lasers, ultrasounds, and radiofrequencies, etc.). Such high-tech devices, and their evident biological action, can only be properly used by dermatologists after having acquired the proper expertise. Many countries all over the world have developed communities: national societies, conferences, and educational outlets, to address these surgical topics. This textbook was written in the spirit of these dermatological communities; as a tool to improve surgical knowledge and technique; and, mostly, to assist the dermatologist in meeting the rising medical needs of today’s patient.
Dermatologic surgery is now a major component of dermatology, with an increasingly complex skill set and knowledge base required for contemporary practice. Despite the importance of surgery to residents and practitioners alike, the standard encyclopedic texts of dermatology devote surprising little to this area. The Textbook of Dermatologic Surgery, edited by Luigi Rusciani MD and Perry Robins MD, represents a significant achievement: a scholarly reference text that will find an important place in every dermatologist’s library. This 2-volume book covers all aspects of dermatologic surgery in a readable, well-illustrated manner. The first volume thoroughly covers all fundamental aspects of cutaneous surgery and proceeds through a lengthy section on special considerations by regional anatomy followed by an excellent section on cutaneous oncology. The second volume covers special topics and cosmetic surgery. The text is extensive and encyclopedic, and I think greatly strengthened by a truly international list of authors. The various chapters have been written by faculty from all parts of the world, with a particular heavy representation from Europe. This international perspective affords the reader a wider perspective than is customarily seen in dermatology texts in the US. The first volume is written in a clear style free of jargon and will be a useful reference source for beginning surgeons as well as experienced practitioners. Following a complete discussion of the fundamentals of cutaneous surgery, there are a series f chapters covering special considerations by anatomic area, such as eyelid surgery or surgery of the nail unit. A third section covers cutaneous oncology in depth. ... The bulk of the second volume covers cosmetic techniques. This volume is particularly enhanced by its international authors. ... This valuable 2-volume text will be an irreplaceable resource for any practice in dermatologic surgery. - James M. Spencer MD MS, JOURNAL OF DRUGS IN DERMATOLOGY, MAY 2008
