A complete guide to the surgical techniques used to treat childhood skin conditions Recent advances have expanded the role of pediatric dermatologic surgery in both specialist and primary care settings. However, such surgeries can pose unique challenges to trainees and experienced practitioners alike.

Moreover, child’s skin poses its own set of complicating factors, making the business of performing these procedures especially delicate and precise. This book provides a step-by-step primer on invasive and non-invasive treatments of childhood skin disorders, offering concise and clearly illustrated guidance on current methods and best practices. Addressing conditions’ effects, the impact of recent developments in their treatment, the ethics of operative procedures on children, and multiple treatment options for childhood dermatologic disease, Pediatric Dermatologic Surgery is an indispensable resource for trainee dermatologists and pediatricians, as well as practicing specialists.

This book is intended for dermatologists, skin surgeons, and general practitioners who are interested in skin surgery and cosmetic procedures. The topics of broad and current interest in shaping the practice nowadays have been selected by the editor, Dr. Pierre Vereecken, MD, PhD, allowing the reader to expand his/her skills and surgical techniques. This book aims to meet the need for a practical guide to help the clinicians to extend their offer in daily practice in dermatology and corrective and skin cancer surgery.
