Foreword:
Key to success in plastic surgery is the decision-making process that precedes any surgical intervention. Careful planning is essential for avoiding complications and achieving excellent outcomes. That is why this new book, Decision Making in Plastic Surgery, edited by Drs. Jeffrey Marsh and Chad Perlyn, is such a welcome addition to the literature. It supplies us with the
tools for assessing a wide range of aesthetic and reconstructive problems. The unique format, composed of algorithms with supporting text, provides the reader with a virtual roadmap for navigating these frequently complex conditions and arriving at time-tested solutions. This book is a follow-up to an earlier publication by Dr. Marsh that used this decision-tree approach. It is greatly expanded and improved, with an outstanding group of world-renowned contributors. The presentations are not only novel, but also extremely practical. They allow the reader to think through each problem, guided by the comments of the experts. This book promises to be a great asset to both young surgeons new to practice as well as to more senior practitioners. It is a thrill to see the publication of this outstanding text. Drs. Marsh and Perlyn are to be congratulated on this major accomplishment.
