Facial Trauma Surgery

Amir H Dorafshar MBChB, FACS, FAAP is currently the Professor, Chief and Program Director of Plastic Surgery at Rush University Medical Center. Dr Dorafshar has distinguished himself as an national and international leading expert in microvascular reconstruction and adult and pediatric craniofacial surgery for congenital, oncological or traumatic conditions. During his early career at Johns Hopkins, he helped to further develop the fields of craniofacial microsurgery, virtual surgical planning in craniofacial surgery and bone tissue engineering. He has co-authored more than 140 indexed articles, written several book chapters and co-edited a textbook on facial trauma surgery. He is foremost recognized as a critical member of the team that performed a pioneering facial transplant at the University of Maryland and was subsequently named the clinical co-director of the facial transplantation program at Johns Hopkins

"...a wonderful compendium of the tools for diagnosis, surgical treatment, and overall care of the facial trauma patient. As a teacher of this special area, I have often struggled with directing my trainees to a comprehensive source on the topic. I now say to faculty in the multiple disciplines covering the area of facial trauma (plastic surgery, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, oral surgery, and ophthalmology), struggle no more!" - Russell R.
