great book for plastic surgery residents/fellows and other surgerons
Drs. Kryger and Sisco have done a great job simplifying the most commonly encountered problems in plastic surgery (including hand, reconstructive, craniofacial and cosmetic surgery) and explaining the treatment and work up for these problems.
The book is small enough to fit in a lab coat pocket or small bag and is a MUST for doctors who encounter these problems in the ER or clinic.
I bought mine in residency and used it daily as a quick reference and I still use it when I encounter zebras in practice. ... Read more

STEDMAN'S PLASTIC SURGERY, ENT, & DENTISTRY WORDS
I was so pleased with my reference book when I received it.This is the first in the series that I have bought.This book is jammed packed with information.There is so much more than just words.Sample reports, anatomy pictures, Appendixes of multiple topics, Surgery with the common words used in that surgery procedure.I was absolutely excited about a book.Every MT that types these types of reports must have this.Easy to use.I cannot say enough good.

Stedman's is the best!
Absolutely agree with the earlier review posted below.This volume was published in 1999, and an updated volume should be coming along soon, but meanwhile, this exhaustive collection of words relating especially to ears, nose, throat, and teeth is without peer.If you're an MT looking into expanding your library because you've found yours wanting, Stedman's is the place to look, and this book is a crucial part of such a library.

Best reference for plastic surgery/ENT/dentistry words
"Plastic Surgery/ENT/Dentistry Words" is a gem of a reference for the transcriptionist doing work in any of these specialty areas.It is chock full with 69,000 entries derived from >40,000 medical words,phrases, abbreviations, and acronyms.These are convenientlycross-referenced.Who of us has not heard, for example, some kind of"flap" mumbled by the dictator while transcribing a surgicalreport; here, a list of >4½ pages of various types of flaps areblessedly enumerated.Additionally, surgical instruments and medicationsare handily listed as well.

Four appendixes complete this volume: 1)anatomical illustrations [54 pages of them!], 2) sample reports [op notes]ranging in variety from typical liposuction surgery to an orbiculopexy, 3)common terms of procedure [such as septoplasty terms, etc.], and 4) commonherbs in both Latin and common terminology.This latter is interesting,but I am confounded as to what is its use in this volume.

Nevertheless,this handy volume is really the Bible when it comes to a reference foranyone transcribing medical reports in the above-mentioned specialty areas. I recommend it highly! ... Read more

Product Description
Probably the most famous classic of plastic and aesthetic surgery published in the 20th century. The original German edition of Joseph's book issued in 1931 is a legendary rarity. This deluxe limited edition English translation was issued in 1987. It publishes the English translation of Joseph's text and his original illustrations in a format that follows the German edition page for page. Considering the comprehensive nature of Joseph's text and the huge number of illustrations, this is a significant translation and publishing feat. Elegantly and durably bound with a red leather spine and a sturdy cloth slipcase, it was previously sold for $395 or more per copy. The translation is a superb example of modern book production.

Disappointed with the content
I was looking forward to reading this book.If you are looking for general information on all procedures then you found it.I was disappointed with lack of specific information and the pictures.You can easily find the broad knowledge presented in this book on the Internet.I wouldn't recommend this to someone is trying to research a particular procedure they are interested in.

AMAZING & INFORMATIVE
Very well organized, direct and easy to read. Describes how to pick a reputable surgeon, explains procedures, what to expect and includes pitfals to procedures.Lots of before after pictures.The author does a great job at presenting the information.

be an informed patient or loved one
Recommended to three types of readers:

(a) People considering having cosmetic surgery.

(b) People with loved ones considering or have received cosmetic surgery.

(b) People purely curious about cosmetic surgery.

The first few chapters describe medical training (e.g., board certification), health care environments (e.g., office vs. hospital), and patient qualifications (e.g., as healthy as possible). These chapters emphasize the importance of choosing an appropriate medical team. If the logic does not convince you, then the scary monochrome and color photographs will.

The remaining chapters explain various treatments, such as face-lifting and liposuction. Questions such as: Will there be pain? Will my skin turn red, and if so, for how long? How much will it cost? are answered candidly.

The book will help you become an informed patient, or a loved one of a patient. ... Read more
