About this book
Reviews
“The purpose is to broaden the overall understanding of breast surgery and highlight specific techniques that are tried and true. … There is something in this book for all who are concerned with or interested in breast surgery. … Both novice and senior breast surgeons will find something of use here. … this book will serve those who are interested in breast surgery. It is an excellent complement to the plethora of breast surgery atlases and books already available.” (Jeffrey S. Rosenthal, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2015)
