Plastic Techniques in Neurosurgery

This book highlights the successful collaboration of plastic surgeons,
neurosurgeons, and, in some cases, ENT, maxillofacial, oral, and oculoplastic
surgeons, in treating some of the most complex craniofacial, skull-based,
intracranial, and spinal problems. Beginning with the basic principles of wound
healing and flap rotation, you will find full discussions of craniofacial
