This new edition brings together five leading authorities in
nail surgery in this well established and definitive textbook.
The entire text is extended in this edition, and particular
emphasis is placed on the advances in treatments that have taken
place in recent years. Considerable strides have been made in the
treatment of fungal diseases (onychomycoses) with the appearance of
new therapeutic agents. There is also much greater coverage of nail
surgery to reflect the increasing involvement of the dermatologist
in this field. The section on nail tumours has also been
expanded.
Drs Baran and Dawber have been joined by David de Berker,
Eckhart Haneke and Antonella Tosti on the editorial team. This move
is representative of the major European contribution to the field
of nail surgery in recent years. Significant contribution has come
from Dr Elvin Zook, the eminent American hand surgeon, who has
helped to ensure that the book is as relevant in North America as
it is in Europe.
