El ABC de la cirugía plástica 2019. Temas reconstructivos está dirigido a los médicos, enfermeros, fisioterapeutas, psicólogos y todo el personal de salud que tengan interés en conocer algunos de los procedimientos que engloba esta noble especialidad. La cirugía plástica reconstructiva nació de la imperiosa necesidad de restaurar defectos traumáticos y congénitos a lo largo de la evolución humana; sin embargo, fueron las guerras las que llevaron a los médicos de los últimos siglos a desarrollar técnicas y nuevos instrumentos para lograrlo. La presente obra es un manual informativo del contexto de algunos procedimientos que se realizan en cirugía plástica reconstructiva, abarcando reconstrucciones congénitas y traumáticas que exigen un amplio conocimiento de la etiopatogenia de las enfermedades, pero sobre todo de los conocimientos anatómicos que se requieren para lograr un buen resultado quirúrgico en la misión reconstructiva. Los temas aquí incluidos son tratados de forma general, pero con bases anatómicas y quirúrgicas de forma concisa para poder ofrecer al lector un mayor entendimiento del paciente sometido a estos procedimientos.
