Description
Surgery of the Breast: Principles and Art, Third Edition is the most comprehensive and authoritative “how-to” reference on breast surgery available today. This extensively illustrated two-volume atlas brings together the expertise of the world’s leading breast surgeons to present the full spectrum of general, aesthetic, and reconstructive breast procedures with exceptional clarity and detail.
The book provides in-depth, step-by-step instruction on oncologic management of breast disease, breast reconstruction, reduction mammoplasty, mastopexy, and augmentation mammoplasty, combining surgical precision with an appreciation of aesthetic outcomes. Throughout the text, more than 4,100 detailed drawings and full-color preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative photographs guide readers through each procedure, making complex techniques accessible and reproducible.
Each chapter concludes with editorial commentary that offers alternative perspectives and addresses current controversies in breast surgery, encouraging critical thinking and evidence-based decision-making.
The Third Edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect advances in the field, with a significantly expanded section on augmentation mammoplasty. New and revised chapters cover deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction, skin-preserving delayed breast reconstruction, and nipple-sparing mastectomy. Additional updates include contemporary guidance on oncoplastic surgery, post-reconstruction surveillance, reconstruction following tumor recurrence, and the evolving role of stem cells in breast surgery.
Comprehensive, visually rich, and surgically precise, Surgery of the Breast: Principles and Art is an indispensable reference for breast surgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, surgical oncologists, and advanced trainees seeking mastery of modern breast surgery.
