This book is a practical guide to incisions of the head and neck for practising
and trainee surgeons. Beginning with the basic principles of incisions and
reconstruction, the following chapters describe surgical approaches for
different conditions from third molar impaction, tumours and maxillofacial
fractures, to cleft lip and palate, and temporomandibular joint. The final
sections cover aesthetic surgery and flaps for reconstruction of defects created

muscles, patient physique and Langer's lines are discussed in depth, and the
book also considers the need for future surgery such as neck dissection after
open biopsy of a neck node. Key
