✦ Synopsis

This text has been designed specifically to help senior plastic surgery trainees to prepare for and pass their postgraduate examinations in plastic surgery. It is a collection of notes that addresses the entire curriculum of plastic surgery by providing information on clinical anatomy, points of technique and the fundamental principles relevant to each subject area. There are self assessment sections and hundreds of reviews of published articles. The second edition has sought to update the text mainly with regard to material published over the past 5 years.
