Technologic innovations have transformed the way in which plastic surgeons and others treat disorders affecting the skin. This issue addresses the current options available for such conditions as melanoma, burns, and both chronic and acute wounds. Also included are techniques-specific articles that detail the optimal uses of skin flaps, lasers, and skin fillers. A paper on the cosmetic treatment for hair restoration rounds out this comprehensive volume. Dermatologists in addition to plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists will find this volume to be of interest.
