The book contains over a hundred chapters organized into eight sections that cover the breadth of plastic surgery, starting with General Principles, The Problematic Wound and Integument. The next five sections address the principle disciplines, and include Head and Neck, Trunk and Lower Extremity, Craniofacial Surgery, Aesthetic Surgery, concluding with Hand and Upper Extremity. The book concludes with two large appendices and a comprehensive index. Appendix I lists most of the commonly used flaps and their harvest and has many illustrations of these flaps. Appendix II is comprised of illustrations and the names of the common surgical instruments used by most plastic surgeons.

The text is written by over 75 authors, many of whom are considered among the leaders in their respective fields. Each chapter is concise and focused on the practical aspects of the topic. Historical and out-dated procedures are largely ignored. Every chapter concludes with a section titled “pearls and pitfalls,” as well as a handful of important references.
