- One of the only texts in Maxillofacial surgery detailing a clincially based history of the specialty
- Multi-institutional and multi-specialty based contributors, providing a look at all aspects of the specialty
- Broken up into easily digestible sections covering the past, the present, and the
future of maxillofacial surgery
The multi-authored, multi-institutional, and multi-specialty-based text is designed as a valuable resource for surgeons working on the maxillofacial region. Meant to be a clinically based history of the past, the present, and the future of the field, this is a one-of-a-kind text that will cater to a variety of professions: from oral & maxillofacial surgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, otolaryngologists - head and neck surgeons, cosmetic surgeons and the general dental practitioner. The History of Maxillofacial Surgery: An Evidence-Based Journey will be divided into three sections for ease of understanding: The first section will give an overview of the early history; the second section will provide a discussion of conventional procedures; and the third section will give a history of advanced procedures and techniques. By understanding the fundamental procedures and techniques of the field, practitioners can continue to further the field by building upon the past. Including historic case studies paired with real patient photos, this text details why professionals do what they do today with insight directly from the clinic. To provide a unique perspective the book is edited by three individuals at different stages of their careers. Each chapter is authored by a young surgeon paired with a seasoned surgeon.
