Clinical Problem: Solving in Plastic Surgery was conceived of as an exciting and interactive text designed to present clinical scenarios commonly encountered in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Its format is unlike other sources of information in that an unknown visual problem is presented and the reader is guided through a logical and stepwise means to arrive at the correct diagnosis and recommend a logical treatment plan.
The 52 cases were chosen as they are felt to be clinical problems that every student of plastic and reconstructive surgery should understand and be comfortable discussing either in the office, on rounds, or during an oral examination. Each case begins with a full-color image of a clinical case and scant background information (much like real-life). The key questions to address in the history are outlined as well as the pertinent findings to identify during the physical examination. A review of commonly recommended preoperative studies and consultations is offered, followed by a discussion of the recognized operative and nonoperative management strategies. Finally, a list of potential complications is included so that the reader is aware of and prepared for potential problems following surgery. Each case is accompanied by a brief algorithm and selected schematic drawings are added to emphasize key points.
The authors who have contributed to this text were chosen by the editors for their recognition as leaders in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery, not only for their clinical skills and academic publications but also for their dedication to teaching the next generation of surgeons.
