Nose reconstructions have been common in India for centuries. South Korea, Brazil, and Israel have become international centers for procedures ranging from eyelid restructuring to buttock lifts and tummy tucks. Argentina has the highest rate of silicone implants in the world. Around the globe, aesthetic surgery has become a cultural and medical fixture. Sander Gilman seeks to explain why by presenting the first systematic world history and cultural theory of aesthetic surgery. Touching on subjects as diverse as getting a "nose job" as a sweet-sixteen birthday present and the removal of male breasts in seventh-century Alexandria, Gilman argues that aesthetic surgery has such universal appeal because it helps people to "pass," to be seen as a member of a group with which they want to or need to identify.

Gilman begins by addressing basic questions about the history of aesthetic surgery. What surgical procedures have been performed? Which are considered aesthetic and why? Who are the patients? What is the place of aesthetic surgery in modern culture? He then turns his attention to that focus of countless human anxieties: the nose. Gilman discusses how people have reshaped their noses to repair the ravages of war and disease (principally syphilis), to match prevailing ideas of beauty, and to avoid association with negative images of the "Jew," the "Irish," the "Oriental," or the "Black." He examines how we have used aesthetic surgery on almost every conceivable part of the body to try to pass as younger, stronger, thinner, and more erotic. Gilman also explores some of the extremes of surgery as personal transformation, discussing transgender surgery, adult circumcision and foreskin restoration, the enhancement of dueling scars, and even a performance artist who had herself altered to resemble the Mona Lisa.

The book draws on an extraordinary range of sources. Gilman is as comfortable discussing Nietzsche, Yeats, and Darwin as he is grisly medical details, Michael Jackson, and Barbra Streisand's decision to keep her own nose. The book contains dozens of arresting images of people before, during, and after surgery. This is a profound, provocative, and engaging study of how humans have sought to change their lives by transforming their bodies.

Expert guidance on minimizing and managing risks for a wide array of facial procedures The demand for minimally invasive facial procedures has increased exponentially over the past 20 years. In fact, an AAFPRS survey estimated that 80% of cosmetic facial procedures performed by their surgeons in 2019 were minimally invasive.

The book provides a framework for diagnosis and treatment of the complex facial deformities found in craniofacial microsomia and Treacher Collins syndrome. These conditions are difficult to treat due to their complexity and variable presentation. The deformities may be mild or severe and merely cosmetic to life-threatening in nature. These conditions often manifest as complex facial deformities that require multiple surgical interventions. Timing is critical when treating these patients and knowing and choosing the correct operation is key to successful outcomes. This work provides a comprehensive approach in treating these complex patient populations, seeking to answer the following questions: When to operate versus when to wait? If operating is required what operation should be performed? What is the best orthodontic approach to the associated dental deformities that develop with these conditions? How should sleep apnea be evaluated and treated in this population? What is the best management for feeding patients with these conditions? Written by experts in the field, Craniofacial Microsomia and Treacher Collins Syndrome: Comprehensive Treatment of Associated Facial Deformities aims to provide the reader with literature based best practices in treating these children from the NICU through childhood and into adulthood.

Das Gro8e Netz wurde lange vernachUissigt. Nur die Embryologen und Anatomen interessierten sich dafiir. Es wurde miBachtet, und in den meisten Biichern wurde sogar empfohlen, es generell bei Laparoto- mien zu entfernen, urn postoperative Verwachsungen zu verhindern. Heute weiB man, daB es zum Schutz und zur Verteidigung der Perito- nealhohle dient. Es war von groBer Wichtigkeit, in einem einzigen Buch alles zu sam- meln, was dieses peritoneale Gebilde betrifft und ihm damit eine eigene IdentiHitverleiht. Sein Studiumruft physiopathologische Problemeher- vor, die vie! komplexer sind als vermutet wurde. Seine Pathologie ist vieWiltig, sei es, daB es sich urn eine Einklemmung des Netzes in einen Leistenbruch oder urn entziindliche und tumorbedingte Uisionen han- delt. Sein Anteil an vielen bewahrten und erfolgreichen Wiederherstel- lungstechniken wird immer groBer - bei der Visierlappenplastik, bei Transplantationen, bei der Revaskularistion - die durch die Mikro- chirurgie so sehr den Bereich der Wiederherstellungschirurgie erweitert haben. Urn all diese verschiedenen Probleme zu erortern, sind die beiden Autoren an jedes Kapitel kritisch und prazise herangegangen, was der Leser selbst entdecken wird. Dieses ausgewogene Buch ist keine reine Zusammenstellung. Es ist das Ergebnis einer groBen Erfahrung, die die Autoren dazu gefiihrt hat, samtliche Techniken, die das groBe Netz betreffen, mit einer per- fekten Bildausstattung zu beschreiben.

Wound management forms the bulk of the work in Accident and Emergency practice.
