“The purpose is to share new ideas and techniques for craniofacial reconstruction using various distraction techniques. … The author and the contributors are both knowledgeable and experienced in the field of craniofacial reconstruction. The techniques that they present are sophisticated and require a team that is both talented and practiced. Hence, the audience is those surgeons deeply involved in this field.” (Jeffrey S.
