Evidence-Based Procedural Dermatology / Edition 1

by Murad Alam

Overview

This title functions as a ready reference for best practices in procedural dermatology, a recently ACGME-approved subspecialty of dermatology. The first part of the book instructs the reader how to perform and how to critically appraise clinical research. The second, and main, part of the book is comprised of topical chapters that will review the current best evidence in skin cancer surgery, laser surgery of the skin, cosmetic dermatology, and many other procedures performed by the dermatologist. These chapters are written by leading experts in each of these subfields. Evidence-Based Procedural Dermatology is packed with vital information for practicing dermatologic surgeons, and also dermatology residents and fellows, who will be able to apply the summaries of best practices in their training and certification exams.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

“This book is the first of its kind to blend evidence-based and procedural disciplines. … Evidence-Based Procedural Dermatology provides detailed evidence for the clinician who may be wondering about a procedure that could be selected for a specific condition. The references are detailed and well edited, as are other sections of the chapters. The book is … a source of procedures used in dermatologic practice. The usefulness of such book increase the more one refers to it.” (Lawrence Charles Parish, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 308 (5), August, 2012)

“This fascinating textbook focuses on the broad field of dermatologic surgery from tumors to reconstruction to cosmetic procedures in a unique way. It is nicely laid out, with good graphics, and is concisely edited. … This is a wonderfully different type of textbook that should be on the desk of every dermatologic surgeon interested in making sound decisions based on real evidence.” (William P. Coleman III, Dermatologic Surgery, Vol. 38 (9), September, 2012)
