Head and neck surgery: An evolution

My fundamental background in general surgery and training in surgical oncology almost naturally led the way to head and neck oncology, which I took to “instantaneously.” However, what happened almost simultaneously was a fascination with reconstruction and indeed, restoration of function, esthetics, and productivity. Hence, this book offers a combined perspective, which at a personal level, I believe in passionately. Even if a head and neck surgeon chooses not to pursue or perform reconstruction, a fundamental awareness about the nuances of incision planning and creation of an “optimal defect” are absolutely germane. This book is thus addressed to both, the “excision team” and the “reconstructive team,” and moves beyond both to rehabilitation and evaluation of outcomes which truly define the ultimate result for a given patient.
