Abstract

With the recent approval of the Procedural Dermatology fellowship training pathway by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, there was never any doubt that a procedural dermatology textbook would soon follow. Surgery of the Skin: Procedural Dermatology is a complete, well-written, well-thought-out and beautifully presented book. This is a text that should be used on a regular basis—not confined to a shelf for occasional perusal. It will serve as a useful resource for dermatologic surgeons of all levels, from novice to expert, and sets a new standard for future textbooks of dermatologic surgery.
