Book excerpt: The essential, step-by-step surgical guide on reconstructive flaps for head and facial defects Often referred to as the mirror of the soul, the face is indelibly entwined with a person's appearance and personality. This presents a particular challenge when reconstructive surgery is required. The goal of every reconstructive surgeon is to repair damage as inconspicuously as possible with minimal scarring while restoring prior function.
