“…Injuries within the scope of plastic surgery are usually not life-threatening [4]. However, injuries related to plastic surgery may result in considerable disabilities and diminished quality of life [4]. In addition, functional recovery following severe hand trauma is essential in daily life.…”

Purpose: With the increasing number of polytrauma patients treated at high-level trauma centers, plastic surgery has entered the specialty of traumatology. Plastic surgeons specialize in the simultaneous surgical care of patients with facial or hand trauma and soft tissue injuries requiring microsurgery. The purpose of this study was to introduce the role of plastic surgery in a high-level trauma center. methods: Between January 2020 and December 2020, 5,712 patients with traumatic injuries were admitted to the emergency department of a tertiary hospital. Of these 5,712 patients, 1,578 patients were hospitalized for surgical treatment and/or critical care. Among the 1,578 hospitalized trauma patients, 551 patients (35%) required at least one plastic surgery procedure. The patient variables included age, sex, etiology, the injured area, and injury characteristics. We also retrospectively investigated surgical data such as the duration of the operation, hospital stay, length of time from injury to surgery, and collaboration with other departments. results: The most common injury referred to plastic surgery was facial trauma (41%), followed by hand trauma (36%), and soft tissue injuries requiring microsurgery in various parts of the body other than the hand (7%). The majority of facial and hand traumas were concomitant injuries. Sixteen percent of patients underwent collaborative surgical management for polytrauma involving both plastic surgery and another department.Conclusions: The role of plastic surgery in multidisciplinary teams at high-level trauma centers has become increasingly important. The results of this study may help in the development of multidisciplinary trauma team strategies and future workforce planning.

“…In many developing countries interventions are primarily required for reconstructive needs in trauma, burns, and congenital anomalies. [10][11][12][13][14][15] The spectrum of reconstructive surgery procedures is widening with the top five surgeries at our center being trauma reconstruction, skin tumor surgeries, hand surgeries, AV fistula creation, and oculoplasty, similar to American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) 2018 statistics, 16 where tumor removal, laceration repair, maxillofacial surgery, scar revision, and hand surgery topped the charts. But there are variations.…”

Background The year 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of plastic surgery department of our institution. We present an audit to plot the changing clinical trends in our work in the past five decades. Methods A single-center retrospective cohort study based on the department demographics was performed and compared across the decades from 1969 to 2019. Results In 1969, the relative proportion of reconstructive versus cosmetic surgery procedures was 94.32% versus 5.68%; in 2019 this was 76.25% and 23.75%, respectively. An increase of 22 times increase in outpatient registrations, 13.1 times in total surgeries, 642 times in trauma reconstruction, 290 times for hand surgeries, and 323 times for skin tumor surgeries was noted. Male patients (64.9%) increased every decade more than females (35.1%), mostly for trauma surgery and gynecomastia correction. Proportion of pediatric cleft patients have markedly decreased. Spectrum of surgical procedures have widened. Top five reconstructive surgeries in 2019 were limb trauma reconstruction, skin tumor surgeries, hand surgeries, arterio-venous fistula (AV) creation, and oculoplasty. The most common surgery performed was cleft lip surgery in 1969 and hand surgery in 2019. The top five cosmetic surgeries performed in 2019 were scar revisions, nevus excision, liposuction and gynecomastia correction, rhinoplasty, and otoplasty. Conclusions Data collection and archiving and periodic audits help us study changing trends in our field compared with the global trends. Knowing societal demands will help to improve the resident training in teaching hospitals.

“…La mayoría de pacientes (33%) fueron ingresados por cortes con vidrio, seguidos por caídas (21%), accidentes de tránsito (12%), accidentes domésticos (6%) y por último accidentes laborales (10%). (14) La causa del accidente es difícil de comparar con lo encontrado en este estudio, aunque si agrupamos los cortes por vidrio, las caídas y los accidentes domésticos en un grupo comparable con el de TG de este estudio, equivaldría a que el 60% de los traumas en el estudio de Hacikerim y col. fue causado por TG, una proporción 6 veces mayor a los AL y muy diferente a lo encontrado en el presente estudio. La diferencia podría explicarse por el rango de edades incluidas, ya que estos autores recogen pacientes desde los 2 meses de vida y el 70% tenían entre 11 y 35 años.…”
