The goal of this book is to exemplify and demonstrate contemporary techniques and general concepts employed in the sub-speciality of craniofacial surgery. The main tenets of the field of craniofacial surgery center around skeletonization, three dimensional mobilization, anatomic re-positioning and rigid stabilization of the bony skeleton, and autogenous augmentation and/or replacement. This book will provide a forum for past University of California Los Angeles fellows who have had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn their basic skills and study under the tutelage of the renowned Dr. Henry Kawamoto, a.k.a. “the Samurai.” As they have become leaders in the field of plastic surgery, each of these fellows has had the opportunity to expand upon this foundation and to further develop his or her own clinical and research interests within this ever-changing discipline.
Thaller Craniofacial Surgery by Seth Thaller, James P. Bradley and Joe I. Garri provides step-by-step instruction on the anesthetic management, surgical work-up, and operative treatment of complex congenital or acquired anomalies affecting the head, upper face, and jaw. Written by seasoned experts who have developed a thorough clinical and basic knowledge in this evolving discipline, this source will comprehensively analyze basic areas of craniofacial surgery, and set the standard for the management of these challenging clinical entities. Written in a basic science format slanted towards neurological disorders Craniofacial Surgery covers:
- The basic areas of craniofacial surgery addressing the standard of technique to use within the diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and management for patients having craniofacial disorders.
- The entire range of craniofacial anomalies from cleft lip and orthognatic surgery to acute facial fractures and tumors.
- Skeletonization and repositioning of the boney skeleton as well as three dimensional mobilization and re-positioning of the bony framework - which is only accomplished by a combined intra- and extra- cranial approach.
- All modern-day techniques in craniofacial surgery, including the use of craniofacial techniques for application in aesthetic surgery.
- The management of both congenital and acquired defects.
