About this book

Personal protective equipment (PPE) for biological hazards – such as, gloves, gowns, aprons, masks, or protective eyewear (face shields, goggles or glasses) - reduce the risk of exposure to potentially infective materials. This book highlights the risks inherent in dermatological surgery and the various tools used in its practice. The authors provide detailed guidance on best practice to remove or reduce risk and thus this book is an essential reference for anyone involved from dermatologic and cosmetic surgeons through nursing staff and on to clinic administrators. The book is lavishly illustrated to show some of the practical aspects of the subject and is packed with tips and tricks to assist the practitioner reduce risk wherever possible.

“Safety Office-Based Dermatologic Surgery is a unique textbook and once that belongs in every dermatologist’s library. There is no other book quite like this charming reference. … This is the kind of information which dermatologic surgeons will have a hard time findings in one place … .” (William P. Coleman III, Dermatologic Surgery, Vol. 42 (1), January 2016)

“The purpose is to share important information about how to correctly perform various procedures in the dermatology office. … The audience is all physicians and medical personnel involved in performing dermatologic surgery in the office. … I am unaware of any other books on this subject.” (Patricia Wong, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2015)
