Scars, Gebunden

Klappentext

This unique medical guide focuses on scars. The impact of scars is often underestimated and rarely discussed, and they are considered an inevitable side effect of surgery or trauma.

Although therapies for distressing scars do exist, many are based on myths rather than evidence. This strongly practice-oriented book provides step-by-step instructions with scales and measuring instruments for assessing scars. Featuring brief abstracts and summaries, this valuable reference resource benefits clinical professionals such as doctors and nurses alike. It will appeal to practitioners who want to understand the nature and background of planned treatments, and to non-experts who simply want to broaden their medical horizons.
