Book description
Derived from the second edition of the world-famous The Facial Nerve,
this targeted new book offers the most comprehensive approach to
rehabilitating patients with acute and long-standing facial paralysis.
Representing more than 30 years experience of doctors who have performed
over 3,000 surgical procedures, it begins with a history of facial
rehabilitative surgery, and then focuses on approaches that have proven
to be successful over the years. For each surgical operation, you'll get
key details on patient selection, indications, contraindications,
complications, and more. The book provides step-by-step instructions for
the techniques, with more than 1,000 illustrations to demonstrate the
procedures. Plus, you'll find valuable tips on non-surgical methods of
enhancing the results of the procedures, such as makeup, hair styling,
or choice of clothing. All reconstructive surgeons--oral-maxillofacial,
opthalmoplastic, facial plastic, skull base, otolaryngologic, and
neuro--will find this text to be a concise and appealing guide to
treating facial paralysis. Residents will also benefit from the wealth
of information provided here. "If you are confused and mystified
by the complexities of facial reanimation surgery, then this book is for
you. . . . an excellent 'worth-the-money' book of interest and relevance
to all surgeons specializing in the facial area and I am quite sure it
will stimulate and greatly assist trainee and young surgeons to develop
a special interest in facial paralysis rehabilitation surgery." -
