Abstract
This is English-language edition of Les Lambeaux Arteriels Pedicules du Membre Superieur , published in 1990. The list of 40 contributors from around world attests to international collaboration achieved by editors. As Hentz states in foreword, motivation for this English edition lies in unsubstantiated impression that surgeons in the United States are less experienced than their international colleagues in use of contemporary arterialized pedicle for reconstruction of cutaneous defects in upper limb. The book includes 24 chapters with individual references and a comprehensive index. The first three chapters describe historic evolution of study of cutaneous vascularity of upper limb with references to Esser, Littler, and others. Basic definitions of arterial island and peninsular flaps are provided along with standard classification of skin and fasciocutaneous and musculotaneous flaps based on pertinent vascular anatomy nourishing each flap.
