From the reviews:

This is a small, but well put together, textbook on breast surgery. & The book is beautifully illustrated with line drawings, and these depict the surgical procedures with a great deal of clarity and precision. & I think it would be very useful for trainees in plastic surgery, but possibly more useful to the general surgeon who wishes to delve into aspects of plastic surgery & . This book fills that grey zone between general surgery and aesthetic surgery of the breast & . (Ian Jackson, European Journal of Plastic Surgery, Vol. 29, 2006)

Many new techniques have been developed to diagnose and treat benign breast conditions, treat breast cancer by conservation surgery, surgery of the axilla and breast reconstruction. & I recommend this Atlas to any surgeon l³*
