Facial surgery

First edition. Henry Percy Pickerill (1879-1956) was New Zealand's first maxillofacial surgeon and an internationally recognized researcher in dental caries. In 1917 he was appointed to establish a jaw departement at the Second New Zealand General Hospital at Walton-on-Thames near London, where he treated New Zealand soldiers returning from the fronts of Belgium and France. After the War, Pickerill returned to New Zealand with many of his patients to complete treatment and rehabilitation at his specialized facial and jaw unit set up in the Dunedin Hospital.
