Plastic surgery pioneer Goleria (Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre, Mumbai, India) has been extensively involved in the development of cleft lip and palate surgery, hand surgery, and cranio-facial surgery in India for 50-plus years. Drawing on this vast experience, he presents an informative text for practitioners throughout the world working in the field of vascular anomalies. Six of the chapters are authored by Goleria, the remaining four contributed by fellow Indian specialists in radiology, ophthalmology, laser therapy, and neurosurgery. Goleria's opening chapter details classification of hemangiomas and vascular malformations into four groups, based on distinctive biological characteristics and specific approaches used for evaluation, investigation, and management. Illustrated with full-color photographs, the remaining chapters cover imaging techniques; laser treatment; and management of specific conditions including capillary hemangioma of infancy, and small channel low flow vascular/orbital/venous/vascular brain/arterial and artriovenous malformations.
