Michigan Manual of Plastic Surgery (Spiral Manual Series) Editorial Review:
The Michigan Manual of Plastic Surgery is the first and only pocket-sized, practical manual on plastic surgery. It is written by residents in the University of Michigan's world-renowned plastic surgery training program, with contributions from senior residents in related fields including general surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, orthopaedics, neurosurgery, and urology. In an easy-to-follow outline format, the book covers the full range of clinical problems a plastic surgeon encounters. Sections cover fundamental principles and techniques, skin and soft tissue lesions, head and neck, facial reconstruction, craniofacial, aesthetic surgery, breast, hand and upper extremity, trunk, lower extremity, genitalia, and burns.
Customer Reviews: Meet me at the quad after the surgery After a corn thresher accident, I turned to Michigan University students to do my reconstructive surgery.(Wolverines!) Two years later, if asked to describe the experience, I would have to say.....YOU BUTCHERS! YOU BUTCHERED ME! I knew better than to let medical students do my surgery, but I was broke after trying to do it myself.
I thought since they had just beaten Florida in the Capital One Bowl, we all felt like we could do anything we put our mind too. I guess we were wrong. Rich Rodriquez and 1st year med student "Mayday" Montana are classic choke artists. Stopping Tebow was nothing like stopping my bleeding. Putting the "clamp" on Percy Harvin was easier than clamping my femoral artery. In the end, I guess we fans and victims probably feel the same way: We'll give you one more try, but that's it.
A must for the Plastic Surgery Resident This book covers all the basic info that a plastic surgery resident should know, in a small, pocket size book. You can carry it over, and let's you do quick reviews of diagnostic and therapeutic measures while on the move.
I definitely recommend this book as an aid to have on the go, besides the basic books you should have in your shelf for a deeper reading.
Great For Plastics rotation ALthough not as Comprehensive as Grabb and Smiths or another full size textbook, this pocket guide is a really fantastic summary of everything you need to know at the 4th year medical student level or PGY1. It is great to carry around and refresh info before going into a case or right after seeing a consult. I would use it this way so that I was always ready for pimping/questions. I would highly reccomend this book to anyone considering going into plastics or for residents to carry around with them in their junior years.
The only negative about this book I found was there was not enough pictures/diagrams of what they were covering in text. Sometimes this would mean I would know what a technique or method was called and what it was for but could not visualize it or name it when I saw it being done.
Essential manuel for Plastic surgery residents/rotation BRILLIANT book! No useless information, perfectly organised, fits in the pocket.
Also very useful for general/maxillofacial/ENT/orthopedic surgery and dermatology rotations.
Michigan Manual of Plastic Surgery -Review Although one can tell that a lot of time and energy was used to write this book, there is little value to this book for the practicing physician.
