About the Book

This book brings together all the relevant available science behind face transplants. It is comprehensive in its coverage, encompassing patient and donor evaluation, ethics, legal issues, psychological issues, types of transplant, surgical technique, issues relating to immunosuppression, follow-up protocols, and current outcomes. Facial transplantation, which allows the replacement of missing anatomy with a perfect match based on transplant medicine principles, has become the most striking innovation in plastic surgery of the twenty-first century as surgeons and scientists progress from reconstructive surgery to restorative surgery. A robust team approach is, however, necessary to produce safe and efficient outcomes, and numerous questions are arising, from technical issues to ethical dilemmas. The reader will discover in this volume all the information required in order to understand this new discipline and to be able to set up a program of facial transplantation.

Review :
"This book discusses general objectives as well as the necessities for facial transplantation. ... the book is useful for those already in the field or wishing to get an overview of facial transplantation surgery. The book starts with background information and a historical overview of the field. ... Each chapter starts with an abbreviated abstract and has various charts relating to the topic." (Jeffrey S. Rosenthal, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2015)
