3.0 out of 5 stars Photos are good but text is lacking
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2015
Verified Purchase
So yes there are inaccuracies, but overall the photos and layout help you organize how to study for the Oral board exam. Don't rely on the author's ideas to guide you, but do your own studying to come up with your own answers for each question. What helped is using the photos with a friend to study with by asking each other what they would do and then critiquing your answers. The text in the book is seriously lacking and needs updating. So I give it 3 stars for having photos on the topics that WILL be tested but give it 1 star for text content.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is inferior resource for board prep
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2015
Verified Purchase
I don't think there was sufficient editing of this book--it is lacking figures that are referenced in the text, there are typos and sentences that don't make sense in nearly every chapter. It was hastily put together in my humble opinion. While it covers the whole gamut of topics, and there are some "big name" authors, this is not a worthwhile purchase. Save your money and buy a different book. I wish I could get my money back.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2010

Big names notwithstanding, this book has nothing new to offer. Not only is the information sketchy, the authors also make an unconvincing effort to give it a coherent form. Overall, this book is definitely not for the plastic surgery fellow or resident.

2.0 out of 5 stars Adequate Review, Inadequate Details
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2010
Purchased this review book for oral examinations during residency as well as preparation for Boards. There appears to be adequate breadth of material, however poor organization of topics makes coherent studying difficult. The picture format is good for preparation of personal thought process, however the text is way too Pre-op oriented and minimal, minimal operative management, complications, and treatment options. The book purports an algorithmic approach to each problem, however the algorithms at the end of each chapter contain minimal information, do not direct the decision process, and do not fulfill the meaning of "algorithm".

Furthermore, there are many typographical errors, incorrect oncological treatments and staging, e.g melanoma staging with centimeters, etc. The diagrams that depict procedures are inadequate, such as an Antia-Buch diagram that truly does not depict the procedure and Rhomboid flap diagrams that do not accurate reflect which flap is elevated, etc. Furthermore, in cases where a more diagramatical description of a local flap would be beneficial, there is none. I feel that for a quick picture based review of what we may see on boards this is adequate, however must be supplemented by up to date and correct information. I would not recommend purchase of this book and would recommend a more thorough editing of the material presented.

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015
This book is a poor reference and a waste of time/money for anyone actually preparing for the oral or written boards. It looks like a few quick notes put together by program directors in hopes that residents will buy the book. Pick something better
