Description

The increasing global incidence of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers has led to major advances in treatment techniques. Mohs surgery remains the gold standard for excising skin cancers on the head and neck, offering a 99% success rate for new cancers and 95% for recurrences. Yet, over 90% of patients undergoing reconstruction after Mohs surgery seek improvement in their scars, highlighting the importance of skilled reconstruction.

Facial Reconstruction after Mohs Surgery by James Thornton and Jourdan Carboy brings together 15 years of experience and more than 12,000 cases from a surgical practice focused exclusively on post-Mohs facial repair. The book provides clear, step-by-step guidance on achieving functional, aesthetic, and durable results, with attention to patient age, anesthesia, and resource availability.

Detailed chapters cover reconstruction of the lip, ear, cheek, scalp, and nose, while specialized sections address anesthesia, Mohs surgery principles, oculoplastic techniques, and microvascular reconstruction. Practical algorithms throughout the text simplify complex decision-making and serve as reliable references for daily practice.
