Facial Trauma Surgery From Primary Repair to Reconstruction

"...a wonderful compendium of the tools for diagnosis, surgical treatment, and overall care of the facial trauma patient. As a teacher of this special area, I have often struggled with directing my trainees to a comprehensive source on the topic. I now say to faculty in the multiple disciplines covering the area of facial trauma (plastic surgery, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, oral surgery, and ophthalmology), struggle no more!" - Russell R. Reid, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, April 2020
