Dedication

To the Faculty, Residents, and Fellows at the University of Michigan
To Chin-Yin and William
Foreword
It is a distinct privilege for me as the Chief of Plastic Surgery at the University of Michigan to write the Foreword for the 8th Edition of Grabb and Smiths Plastic Surgery , edited by Kevin C. Chung, MD, MS. What an honor for Dr. Chung to be able to edit this landmark textbook which has its roots at the University of Michigan where William C. Grabb, MD, served as Professor and Chief of the Section of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Grabb was a consummate clinician, surgeon, educator, and innovator whose legacy has lived on through this book. Dr. Grabb, along with his Co-Editor Dr. Smith, has educated a generation of plastic surgeons, helping to prepare plastic surgery residents for the in-service examination, helping to prepare recent graduates for their written examination, and most importantly, helping plastic surgeons care for patients operatively and nonoperatively. Grabb and Smith has always been a great source of information for plastic surgeons during training and many years thereafter.
The 8th Edition of Grabb and Smith has been designed by Dr. Chung to build on this important legacy of education. Reviewing the Table of Contents will quickly demonstrate to you that the list of authors reads like a Whos Who in Plastic Surgery. At the same time, the best and brightest young minds in plastic surgery have also contributed to the book. It is this mix of authors that provides a healthy diversity of opinion, viewpoint, and presentation style, which will undoubtedly enhance the value of the material to all readers. The topics may be similar to prior editions of Grabb and Smith, but the chapters have all been completely rewritten. In fact, some of the authors who have contributed chapters to Grabb and Smith in the past have been asked to write new chapters, on different topics, to keep the material fresh, interesting, contemporary, and educational. Additionally, there are many new authors who have not previously contributed to this book, ensuring that the content is current, presented in a way that is relevant to the modern day learner, and yet still maintains the high quality of information necessary to be valuable to all plastic surgeons.
The world around us is changing and the only thing that is constant is change. If we are not adapting to this changing world, we will be falling behind. As a result, the 8th Edition has been completely redesigned to optimize its value and to ensure that all of the critical elements of our rapidly changing specialty are captured. The chapters are written in a consistent style to provide the basic knowledge, fundamental principles, and crucial information needed to become a plastic surgeon and to assist those pursuing lifelong learning. The book is formatted in such a way that the information can be gathered quickly through clear and concise writing, visually pleasing full color figures, photographs, expertly crafted decision algorithms, tables, and flowcharts. The days of reading long chapters have gone. The information is provided in a style well suited for in-service examination or written board exam prepara_indentedtion. More importantly, the information is provided in a style that is well suited for plastic surgeons as they provide high-quality, thoughtful, and compassionate care for their patients.
