    Summary: This book is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to maxillofacial surgical procedures typically performed in an office setting. It comprises three sections, the first of which provides an overview of general and basic perioperative topics such as medical and facial assessment, laboratory indications, local anesthesia, and oral and parenteral sedation. In the second section, a wide range of dentoalveolar procedures are described in detail. The final section is devoted to maxillofacial cosmetic procedures. Here, readers will find stepwise guidance on scar revision, chemical peel, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, use of neuromodulators and fillers, neck procedures, blepharoplasty, and hair transplant surgery. The book is written by acknowledged experts and is multi-institutional and multispecialty based. It will meet the needs of multiple surgical professionals, including oral and maxillofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists, cosmetic surgeons, dentists, and medical and dental students. Health care providers will also be able to use the book as a resource to expand their knowledge on common maxillofacial surgical procedures.

    Edema transudation from extra-alveolar vessels was investigated in anesthetized, open-chested dogs. Fluid accumulation at different alveolar and extra-alveolar vascular pressures was assessed by continuous lung weighing and microscopy. The left (experimental) lung was distended with 6% CO2 and air while normal arterial blood gases were maintained by separately ventilating the right lung. Extra-alveolar vessels were isolated by compressing alveolar vessels with alveolar pressures high enough to stop blood flow. Weight increased steadily (edemogenesis) when pulmonary arterial and/or pulmonary venous pressure was 1 cmH2O below this pressure. Because some alveolar vessels at the lung base could have remained open and leaked, extra-alveolar vessels were also separated from alveolar vessels by glass bead embolization sufficient to stop perfusion. Lung weight gains followed selective pulmonary arterial or venous pressure elevations. Electron microscopy demonstrated edema in experimental lobes which was not present in control lobes with undistended extra-alveolar vessels at the same alveolar pressure. Thus pulmonary edema can be caused by fluid leaking from extra-alveolar vessels.
