opportunity to observe the progression or programs from simple
beginnings to great heights of excellence. This book, 'Clinical
Applications For Muscle And Musculocutaneous Flaps', seems to
invoke such a feeling.

The broad principles espoused in this book and the wide-ranging

applicability of these reconstructive techniques are eloquent
testimony to the authors' commitment to the total care of the
surgical patient.

Certainly, this work should mute the commonly heard theme that
plastic and reconstructive surgery serves only the wealthy and
vain.
