  • Summary

    We live and practice in revolutionary times: never before have there been such rapid advances in knowledge and technology. Our training systems have evolved rapidly in response to political and commercial forces and patient expectations. Against this background, the third edition of Stone's Plastic Surgery Facts and Figures is a timely innovation. The original books were excellent but the third edition is a major improvement with article summaries, avoidance of repetitions and a strong classification.

    The many drivers to surgical training include evidence based treatment, which in turn requires an understanding of molecular and cellular biology. Treatment is now becoming strongly influenced by guidelines and protocols and the trainee must be familiar with such systems of classification when selecting appropriate treatments and attending MDTs.

    This book provides an excellent framework covering the curriculum for plastic surgery training in the UK. It is an ideal reference source and a checklist for patient-based discussions. Key points are highlighted and knowledge is nicely classified. It will not be the sole source for learning, but it provides an excellent classification of all the points needed for examination revision or the general knowledge required to undertake safe practice.

  • Summary

    I remember buying the first edition of Plastic Surgery Facts. I was not alone in appreciating its easy to read format and the fact that it was born out of the author's revision notes made it all the more useful for those of us studying for our own Exit examinations in Plastic Surgery.

    Since the second edition was published, Plastic Surgery training in the UK has undergone a major overhaul and the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Programme has provided detailed guidance on what is expected of trainees. The material in the new edition has been arranged to follow the syllabus as closely as possible; the chapter layout is based on the Key Topics. Obviously, discussion of everything on the syllabus is not possible in a book of this size, nor is this intended to be the scope of this book.

    There was a great deal of information in the previous editions; this edition has focused on altering the layout and presenting the material in a more organized manner, to improve clarity. Of course, the material has been updated to include new material including the AJCC 2009 Staging for Melanoma and propranolol therapy for haemangiomas, for example. The article summaries were a favourite feature of the book and have been retained and updated. Every reference has been rechecked and reviewed; the full reference now given in a more standard format – first author, journal, year, volume and page numbers. Finally there are now line drawings that should make understanding certain topics much easier.
