This operative manual offers high-quality photographs showing cadaver preparations alongside explanatory colour drawings. It is designed to enhance understanding of the anatomy through 3D perspectives and by showing structures that are hidden in preparation.

This book provides all those who deal with microsurgical tissue transfer, i.e. plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, trauma surgeons, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons, with all they need to know in their daily practice. In this second edition, the authors have followed the principle of systematic teaching based on photographs of cadaver preparations alongside explanatory color drawings to enhance understanding of the anatomy. Since microvascular tissue transfer is continuously developing, three flaps from the new generation that expand the spectrum of reconstructive possibilities have been added. A special strength of the book is its clear didactic structure. The highly instructive text is comprehensive and precise and also covers all representative literature on flap raising.
