Abstract
For professionals and general readers alike, there are already a perplexing number of books on migraine commercially available. Who needs yet another one? There are probably even more books about plastic surgery on the market. Plastic surgery is an enormously diverse discipline covering reconstructive, hand, and aesthetic surgery as well as burn care, to name only the main areas. Is there really any demand to expand the speciality to include the surgical care of migraine patients? This book intends to show that the answer is unambiguously affirmative.
