Manual of Head and Neck Reconstruction Using Regional and Free Flaps PDF Free Download (Direct Link)
Ablative tumor surgery of the head and neck region often results in severe cosmetic and functional deformities. In these cases, microvascular free-tissue transfer enables three-dimensional reconstruction of head and neck defects. The selection of adequate donor tissue and a profound knowledge of the human anatomy and the various harvesting techniques are paramount in ensuring successful reconstruction.
Reflecting current surgical approaches, this book presents the most frequently used flaps in head and neck surgery, including detailed overviews as well as their respective pearls and pitfalls. Moreover, each section contains a synopsis and pre-operative checklist.
The overlay-technique merges high-quality-photographs with drawings and precisely illustrates the step-to-step descriptions of the different flap harvesting techniques, making this manual in pocket size an unique and accessible reference for both doctors in training and specialists in the field of otolaryngology, head and neck, plastic, maxillofacial and skull base surgery.
Manual of Salivary Gland Diseases PDF Free Download (Direct Link)
Incidences of salivary gland diseases are relatively higher than we expect in practice. Understanding of salivary gland pathology is still not concluded, since the newer diagnostic techniques are evolving continuously, which dictate the modified approach to their management. Manual of Salivary Gland Diseases is a confluence of the anatomy, physiology, pathology of salivary glands, and their diagnosis and management. There are few books available in the market on salivary gland tumors, but there is not a single book dealing with the entire salivary gland diseases and their management available at present. This book will be the first of this kind, to serve postgraduates and teaching faculties in the field of oral pathology, oral medicine and oral surgery, and practitioners and general surgeons. Contributors for this book are experts in their respective field with more than two decades of professional experience and have attempted to provide readers with an understanding of pathology and diagnosis through the basic sciences.

Maxillofacial Rehabilitation Prosthodontic and Surgical Management of Cancer-Related Acquired and Congenital Defects of the Head and Neck 3rd Edition PDF Free Download (Direct Link)
The rehabilitation of patients with disabilities of the head and neck secondary to acquired and congenital defects continues to be a challenge. Today it is possible to restore most patients to nearly normal form and function, enabling them to lead useful and productive lives. However, successful outcomes require close interaction among many health care disciplines. Given the recent advances in maxillofacial prosthetics and reconstructive surgery, the pace of change in the rehabilitation of oral and facial defects has been far too slow. For example, free tissue transfers have been used throughout the world for the last 20 years to restore bony defects of the mandible, but far too many surgeons fail to understand that it is equally important to restore the bulk and contour of the tongue if the oral functions of speech, mastication, and control of saliva are to be restored. This updated edition with an emphasis on a truly multidisciplinary approach provides the reader with insights into the latest developments in maxillofacial prosthetics, reconstructive surgery, and dental care. New chapters present information on digital technology and tissue engineering, and all chapters have undergone significant revision, reflecting the advances in the use of Osseo integrated implants and free vascularized flaps. The reader will take away practical knowledge of state-of-the art treatment approaches to ensure that patients of the future will no longer assert that the cure was worse than the disease.
