Textbook of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery is a comprehensive and illustrated work for students, teachers, and practicing plastic surgeons. It is a six-volume set with the division of volumes based on the clinical needs of plastic surgeons across the globe. Along with the recent advances in the field of Plastic Surgery, these volumes incorporate landmark contributions, innovations, and techniques used by Indian clinicians, who regularly deal with the large number of patients, with unique and complicated conditions. While the majority of authors have been chosen from the Indian subcontinent, a few international authors, whose work is considered indispensable for understanding the subject, have also been included.

The six volumes seek to incorporate in one work issues relevant to the developing world as well as insights from national and international plastic surgery practices, which highlight newer management techniques along with traditional methods. This makes these volumes a “must-have” resource for students and practitioners of plastic surgery across the globe.

The authors chosen for this volume are highly experienced and masters in their respective fields. The clinical images provided in the book give an insight into their clinical expertise.
