Clinical Scenarios in Reconstructive Microsurgery: Strategy and Operative Techniques
Editat de Andreas Gravvanis, Despoina D. Kakagia, Venkat Ramakrishnanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 noi 2022
This book presents100 cases covering all areas of reconstructive surgery. Divided into six parts (Head/Neck, Upper Extremity, Lower Extremity, Trunk, Breast and Lymphedema), it guides the reader through the difficult path of problem diagnosis, analysis and decision-making, presenting concrete steps and techniques for the successful management of patients with specific reconstructive needs. Each full-color case starts with a patient profile and continues with the diagnosis, key decisions, treatment plan, surgical procedure(s) and technical steps, postoperative management, outcome and case conclusion. Further, each case includes a discussion of pros and cons, comments, learning points and suggestions for further reading.
This book will be useful for all surgeons actively involved or interested in Reconstructive Microsurgery and valuable for Senior Residents and Fellows in Plastic, Head and Neck, Breast Surgery and Orthopedics.

Notă biografică
Andreas Gravvanis currently serves as Head of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery in the Metropolitan Hospital of Athens. Following his basic plastic surgery training at the General State Hospital of Athens and at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan, where he focused on facial paralysis/head and neck reconstruction (sponsored by MILLESI Award), he accomplished three microsurgical fellowships at St Andrews Centre for Plastic Surgery, UK, focusing on breast/microsurgery; Gent Plastic Surgery University Department, Belgium, focusing on breast reconstruction (sponsored by EURAPS Scholarship); and EURAPS/AAPS fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Centre focusing on head and neck cancer reconstruction. Gravvanis was appointed as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon with special interest in Breast Reconstruction in Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, UK, for the period 2007–2008. He was subsequently appointed as a Consultant in Plastic Surgery at General State Hospital of Athens, 2009–2017. His interests include all aspects of microsurgery dealing with cancer and trauma reconstruction along with facial palsy. He also focuses on facial and breast aesthetic surgery. Three-dimensional (3D) photography and 3D virtual models are an integral part of his practice in both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Gravvanis is the author and co-author of 62 publications in peer-reviewed journals with over a 1000 citations and 3 book chapters. He is the editor of the reference book Clinical Scenarios in Reconstructive Microsurgery published by Springer. He is also an active member of EURAPS, a member of the editorial board of Microsurgery, and a reviewer for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Despoina D. Kakagia is Professor of Plastic Surgery at Democritus University in Thrace, Greece, and has been practicing reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery since 1998. Following her comprehensive training in plastic surgery at Metaxa Cancer Institute and Athens General State Hospital in Greece, she underwent further training in microsurgery of the hand and breast at Canniesburn, Glasgow, Scotland; Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London, UK; and Aachen University Hospital, Germany.
Professor Kakagia is a member of the Hellenic Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (HESPRAS), the Hellenic Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery and Hand and Upper Limb Surgery, and the Hellenic Society of Wound Healing and is an active member of EURAPS.

Professor Kakagia has been teaching plastic surgery at undergraduate and postgraduate level since 2006 and has participated as an instructor in many microsurgery training courses. She is the author or co-author of more than 70 publications in peer-reviewed international journals and has authored 1 book as well as 15 book chapters. She is an active reviewer in more than 30 international medical journals.
Venkat Ramakrishnan is a Consultant Plastic Surgeon at the St Andrew’s Centre for Plastic Surgery and Burns, Chelmsford, United Kingdom, and Visiting Professor of Microsurgery at the Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford, United Kingdom. His main area of work is microsurgical reconstruction of the breast and aesthetic surgery of the breast.
Ramakrishnan plays a major role as a trainer in microsurgery and was the inaugural Tutor in Plastic Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, London. He was the Director of the St Andrew’s Centre and has had roles in the BAPRAS Council and the project board of the National Mastectomy and Reconstruction audit. He is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery and Archives of Plastic Surgery. He is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.
Ramakrishnan has numerous publications and presentations at national and international meetings. His main areas of research and audit are in microsurgical techniques, service delivery, and microcirculation in free flaps.
