Abstract:

A store-and-forward telemedicine system was used to supplement normal telephone referrals to the plastic surgery unit at the Queen Victoria Hospital (QVH). During a 12-week prospective study, 11 units (8 hospitals and 3 minor injury units) with the telemedicine system and 10 units (8 hospitals and 2 minor injury units) without it regularly made referrals (at least 10) to the QVH. There were 389 referrals from the telemedicine-equipped units and 607 telephone referrals from the non-telemedicine units. The telemedicine system was used for 246 of the 389 referrals (63%) made from telemedicine-equipped units. There was a significant difference in the management of patients when the telemedicine system was available, with more patients booked directly into day surgery and fewer attending for assessment. The burns unit and the day surgery unit demonstrated a significantly improved accuracy of triage. Telemedicine could have a valuable role to play in the triage and planning of acute plastic surgery referrals.

Abstract:

B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal, is the only tertiary care referral centre in the eastern region of Nepal. This paper discusses the author’s experience of starting a plastic surgery unit in eastern Nepal regarding need and present status of plastic surgery care in Nepal. Methods. We analyzed the data of patients treated in Plastic surgery unit from July 2007 to February 2009. We did evaluation regarding type of patients, procedures, and their outcome. We also evaluated the limitations and their possible solutions to overcome the barriers to establish effective plastic surgical centers in developing countries. Results. Plastic surgery services were started as a unit in general surgery by single plastic surgeon and one general surgery resident on rotation. Total 848 patients were treated for different plastic-surgery-related conditions, which included 307 acute burn patients 541 general plastic surgery patients. Trauma constituted the major bulk 22%, followed by tumors 20%, while aesthetic surgery operations were only 10.1%. Conclusions. In developing countries, aesthetic procedures constitute very small part of plastic surgery interventions and plastic surgery units are primarily required for reconstructive needs for optimum management of patients.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction The Burn unit offers a unique training environment for residents. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires all General Surgery trainees to have knowledge of burn physiology and experience with initial burn management. However, there are no burn requirements for other ACGME-sponsored training programs except for Plastic Surgery. Since care of the burned patient spans multiple settings – the intensive care unit, operating room, wards, outpatient clinic, and the emergency department – having residents from varied specialties might benefit not only the trainee, but also the Burn Center. Methods A retrospective review of all residents rotated to the burn center of an American Burn Association verified unit was performed. Data from the 7/2018-6/2018 academic year were collected by analyzing resident rotational and call schedules of both intra institutional and inter-institutional residents. The specific time period was chosen to account for COVID affecting the number of residents more recently. Results A total of 48 residents rotated at the burn center during the studied academic year. Within the institution, there were 34 residents (71%): 12 general surgery interns (8 categorical, 4 preliminary), 2 plastic surgery interns, 10 emergency medicine (EM) residents, and 10 anesthesia residents. There were 14 residents (29%) from 3 outside institutions: 3 plastic surgery residents, 8 surgery interns from one program, and 3 surgery interns from another program. All surgical specialty trainees were interns, whereas other specialties, EM and anesthesia, were PGY2 trainees. Conclusions While most residents were from general surgery and plastic surgery programs (58%) due to ACGME requirement, a significant portion of the resident complement (42%) was from non-surgical specialties. EM residents gain competency in wound reading as well as burn critical care. Anesthesia residents learn surgical management of the burn patient and critical care procedures. Since the burn center is a tertiary referral center, having outside residents rotating in the burn unit might facilitate transfers and increase knowledge of proper resuscitation.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTMost of our rural population does not seek the expensive specialist service of distant city hospitals due to social or financial reasons. Existing health system in rural area is not efficient enough to meet the health demands of such vast population. There is only one Government Plastic surgery unit covering the population of 40 lacs leading to huge backlog of patients waiting for reconstructive surgery. To evade this situation a team of Plastic surgeons from Government Medical College Jabalpur goes to rural areas twice a year and has operated in on nine occasions since last 4 years.The activities and experiences of the last nine visits are reported here.

Abstract:

This study compares the effectiveness of two therapeutic electrotherapies which result in plastic adaptation in the atrophied muscle of rheumatoid arthritic hands. The natural discharge pattern of a fatigue-resistant motor unit (eutrophic electrotherapy) was more effective than a uniform 10 Hz electrotherapy. It was concluded that uniform 10 Hz electrotherapy ignored the information carried in the motor unit action potential spike train, which was the signal inducing rapid and behaviourally effective plastic adaptation.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Deep sternal wound infections (DSWI) following median sternotomy are initially treated by the cardiothoracic surgeons and are referred to a plastic surgical unit late in the course of time. Methods This is a retrospective review done in a tertiary care teaching institute from January 2005 to June 2018 and the data of 72 patients who had DSWI out of 4,214 patients who underwent median sternotomy for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was collected with respect to the duration between CABG and presentation of DSWI as well as time of referral to a plastic surgery unit. We defined early referral as < or equal to 15 days from presentation and late referral as > 15 days. Both groups were compared with respect to multiple parameters as well as early and late postoperative course, postoperative complications, and mortality. Results The early group had 33 patients, while the late group had 39 patients. The number of procedures done by the cardiothoracic team before referral to the plastic surgery unit is significant (p = 0.002). The average duration from the presentation of DSWI to definitive surgery was found to be 16.58 days in the early group and 89.36 days in the late group. The rest of the variables that were compared in both the groups did not have significant differences. Conclusion There is no statistical difference between early and late referral to plastic surgery in terms of mortality and morbidity. Yet, early referrals could lead to highly significant reduction in total duration of hospital stay, wound healing, and costs. Early referral of post-CABG DSWIs to Plastic surgeons by the cardiothoracic surgeons is highly recommended.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objectives: To analyse the demographics, mechanism, nature, anatomical distribution, management and complications in trauma patients presenting to the plastic surgery unit. Study Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study. Setting: This study was conducted in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, from 1 st January 2009 to 30 th April 2012. Materials and Methods: All trauma patients referred from emergency department and other departments irrespective of age and gender were enrolled in the study, excluding acute burns and trauma sequelae patients. The details were obtained from the data sheets of the patients. All the data were analysed and projected in the form of tables and figures. Results: A total of 1034 patients including 855 (82.7%) males and 179 (17.3%) females presented with plastic surgical trauma, with age ranging from 1 to 86 years, with a mean age of 20.84 ± 15.469 SD. The upper limb was affected in 492 (47.6%) patients, followed by head and neck in 273 (26.4%) cases. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) were the main cause of trauma, affecting 340 (32.9%) patients. Wound excision and closure was performed in 473 (45.7%) patients, followed by skin grafting and flap coverage in 232 (22.4%) and 132 (13.2%) patients, respectively. Postoperative complications were observed in 45 (4.35%) patients. Conclusion: Males in their young age mainly presented with plastic surgical trauma with RTA as the main mechanism and laceration as the most common type of these injuries. The upper limb was the most commonly affected region. The frequency of different types of surgical procedures and postoperative complications observed are comparable with international literature except for the microvascular surgery which is not performed in our centre. Regular audit of the plastic surgical trauma should be conducted in all plastic surgical units to both improve trauma care and reaffirm the role of Plastic Surgery in the new age trauma.

Abstract:

Abstract Hair restoration has emerged as a subspecialty of aesthetic plastic surgery practiced by a wide range of doctors including plastic surgeons, general surgeons, dermatologists, and even general practitioners. As a current trend, most doctors practice “Ultrarefined follicular unit hair transplantation” in which the entire procedure is done precisely with minimal donor scar. In selected cases, Mega or even Giga sessions are now done with natural appearance and almost undetectable scar, in a single session with good density. This article is an attempt to review the history of hair restoration surgery, describe a novel technique currently practiced in our center, and summarize possible future innovations.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article is mainly aimed to delve into the history of hair transplant and its evolution in India. As a plastic surgeon in practice for the past 35 years, I have seen hair transplant surgery undergoing various transformations starting with initial use of plugs and flaps. Scalp reduction surgery also played an important role. Plugs slowly gave way to mini- and micrografts. With the incorporation of the microscope and popularizing of strip surgery and improved slivering techniques, mega sessions came to the fore thereby covering large areas. Follicular unit extraction and use of body hair have also been discussed.

Abstract:

Dr Albert Douglas Courtemanche was born in Gravenhurst, Ontario on November 16, 1929. In 1949, he was accepted to the University of Toronto Medical School, graduating in 1955. After completing his internship at the Toronto General Hospital and at the Hospital for Sick Children, he completed his surgical training in Vancouver and in the United Kingdom. When Dr Courtemanche returned from his training in 1962, he joined Dr Cowan on the surgical staff at the Vancouver General Hospital. He was responsible for establishing a new plastic surgery ward, a dedicated operating room (OR), an integrated burn unit and also starting the UBC plastic surgery training program. Dr Courtemanche became involved in working with the Royal College, first as an examiner and then as the Chairman of the Plastic Surgery Exam Board in 1981. He eventually became the first and only plastic surgeon to ever hold the position as President of the Royal College. Dr Courtemanche emphasized throughout his career the importance of teaching and role modeling. A very proud moment in Dr Courtemanche’s career was when his son Douglas became a pediatric plastic surgeon. After retiring Dr Courtemanche became a volunteer at the VanDusen Botanical Garden and completed their Master Gardeners Program.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION Following the merger of two major units to form a regional centre for plastic surgery in the West Midlands, acute hand surgery referrals reached overwhelming proportions. This study describes audits performed at three time points. The first highlighted the extent of in-patient delay and was instrumental in the subsequent development of a dedicated hand trauma day-case unit. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data were collected on 77 patients in June 2002, 109 patients in November 2003 and 90 patients in November 2004. The day-case unit opened on 1 November 2003. RESULTS The number of bed-days per patient fell from 2.63 to 1.34 (P < 0.001) over the study period. In November 2004, 51% of patients received a day-case procedure. Importantly, if admission was required at initial presentation, the delay to theatre reduced from 1.5 bed-days per patient in June 2002 to 0.6 in November 2004. Overall, the in-patient delay was significantly reduced (P < 0.001) but time from presentation to theatre was not significantly affected (P = 0.119). CONCLUSIONS This series of audits confirmed that a significant number of acute hand injuries are suitable for day-case procedures and that simple audit can lead to a significant change in service provision. Improvements were demonstrated in reduced in-patient delay and total stay. We hope that other units find our experience useful given that it may be possible to apply this approach to other forms of ambulatory trauma.

Abstract:

The workload of plastic surgery is often poorly understood by the public and those responsible for financing health care. The authors have used linked statistical data to analyse demographic and epidemiological profiles of workload in plastic surgery in Oxfordshire. The analyses were constructed for residents of the district and for patients treated from other districts. The former provides a profile of workload generated for plastic surgery from a geographically-defined population. The latter complements this by adding information about ‘imported’ workload. Admission rates for plastic surgery were higher for children and elderly people than for other age groups; higher for males than females; and they increased during the 11 years of the study. Most of the increase represented an increase in people treated by the service, rather than an increase in readmissions, although there was a modest increase in the latter too. Lengths of stay per admission and total time spent in hospital per person declined considerably. The bulk of the workload in plastic surgery is concerned with the treatment of trauma (including burns), cancer and congenital malformations. The main clinical conditions treated by the specialty are documented distinguishing, for each condition, the extent to which the patients came from outside the authority in which the provider unit is sited.

Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate the presence and relation of depression and anxiety among patients seeking rhinoplasty Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Departments of Psychiatry, department of Plastic Surgery and ENT, Combined Military Hospital Multan, from Jan 2019 to Mar 2020. Methodology: A total of 102 patients were recruited that reported to Plastic surgery and ENT unit. Patients were divided equally in two groups of 51 each. One group included patients seeking rhinoplasty while other group included those patients that reported in Plastic surgery and ENT unit for reasons other than rhinoplasty. Symptom were assessed using Beck Depressive Inventory for depression and Beck Anxiety Inventory for anxiety. Results: A total of 102 participants were included in the study, of these 51 were patients seeking rhinoplasty and 51 were controls. Significant correlation exist between anxiety and depression (p<0.00). Conclusion: There is a very high frequency of anxiety and depression among patients seeking Rhinoplasty along with significant positive correlation.
