Multiple Choice Questions in Plastic Surgery provides over 400 questions, answers and explanations covering the breadth of plastic and reconstructive surgery including burns. The expansive array of questions with detailed explanations and references will provide a solid foundation for those preparing for final specialty examinations such as the American Boards, the FRCS (Plast), EBOPRAS, MCh and others. The questions are drawn from international experts and are up-to-date with the latest concepts and techniques, including face transplantation, new trends in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, and recent scientific advances. It will therefore appeal to those interested in plastic surgery education globally. In particular, it will help plastic surgeons to keep up-to-date in the specialty, and demonstrate this through continuing medical education (CME) and for processes of revalidation.
