Reseña o resumen
This concise handbook covers a diversity of subjects encompassing the broad spectrum of craniofacial surgery. As a quick reference guide intended for the less experienced craniofacial audience (i.e., the medical students, residents and fellows), fundamental concepts and techniques in craniomaxillofacial surgery are presented and explained for an improved comprehension of this complex topic. In addition, these highly-focused chapters are well aided by high-resolution illustrations, diagrams and tables that enable easy understanding of the basic principles of the more commonly performed operations.
