Textbook of Dermatologic Surgery

Rating:
Summary: Good Book
Review: As a dermatology resident I would recommend this book. It covers dermatologic surgery in detail. The early chapters are thorough and cover aspects of preop assessment, instruments, sutures, antibiotics etc. The mid chapters cover the flaps in detail for a dermatologist. There are then good chapters on cosmetic procedures. While laser surgery is changing all the time the principles are explained here, dermabraision has not changed. The chapters on sclerotherapy are good.

Overall I would recommend this book for a resident with an interest in surgery or cosmetics. If you are not interested in doing a fellowship or specializing then this may be a bit much but your department should own one.
