The two world wars played an important role in the evolution of
plastic and maxillofacial surgery in the first half of the 20th
century. This book is about four of the key figures involved. Sir
Harold Gillies and Sir Archibald McIndoe were born in Dunedin;
McIndoe and Rainsford Mowlem studied medicine at the University of
Otago Medical School, and Henry Pickerill was foundation Dean of
the University of Otago Dental School. The author describes how
these surgeons revolutionised plastic surgery and the treatment of
facial trauma, working on soldiers, fighter pilots and civilians
disfigured by bombs, shrapnel and burns.
