“…It was used extensively and in different areas in the following years by both Hugo Ganzer and Gillies, and was a hallmark procedure of reconstructive surgery of the time and endures to this day, for example, in groin flaps for hand reconstruction. It also has a role in less developed countries where free flaps are not feasible 40…”

“…41 Qualifying in dentistry in 1900, he was given the responsibility of a jaw reconstruction service in Berlin in 1915, at the age of 36 years. During his time there, his contributions included description of the tubed pedicle flap at the same time as Filatov, 40 and it may well be that he was the originator of the technique. His use of the nasolabial flap also predated many descriptions, and he was a clear descriptor of many of the early techniques in oculoplastics.…”

Craniomaxillofacial Trauma & Reconstruction

Plastic surgical techniques were described in antiquity and the Middle Ages; however, the genesis of modern plastic surgery is in the early 20th century. The exigencies of trench warfare, combined with medical and technological advances at that time, enabled pioneers such as Sir Harold Gillies to establish what is now recognized as plastic and reconstructive surgery. The physicians of Germany, Russia, and the Ottoman Empire were faced with the same challenges; it is fascinating to consider parallel developments in these countries. A literature review was performed relating to the work of Esser, Lanz, Joseph, Morestin, and Filatov. Their original textbooks were reviewed. We describe the clinical, logistical, and psychological approaches to managing plastic surgical patients of these physicians and compare and contrast them to those of the Allies, identifying areas of influence such as Gillies’ adoption of Filatov's tube pedicle flap.

“…Essentially, it increases the coverage area and reach of the submental flap by adding an extra amount of skin from the supraclavicular flap. Unlike old techniques such as the Tagliacozzi´s method or Gillies-Filatov´s pedicled tubes, the 3SF technique makes use of two well described axial flaps with robust vascularization, thus enhancing its reliability [1,2]. Besides, the main advantage of the 3SF transfer technique is that it allows full mobility of the patient´s head and limbs, sparing the patient from restrictive bandages, a major drawback in the older techniques.…”

Many failures in total or subtotal nasal reconstructions result from an underestimation of the amount of skin required for an adequate result, especially for sufficient lining. Such planning errors usually lead to poor results, with exposure of structural grafts, infection, scar retraction, airway obstruction and finally loss of projection and shape of the reconstructed nose. Reconstruction options for cases in which previous attempts have failed are always limited, as well as in cases of trauma or burns affecting the soft tissues of the forehead and face. In such complex situations, one may employ free flaps or tissue expansion, but such resources may not be always available. We describe a technique indicated for salvage surgeries in patients whose previous nasal reconstruction have failed, allowing a generous amount of tissue transfer for the nasal region. The technique combines the use of supraclavicular and submental flaps, with simple execution, not requiring microsurgical skills or devices such as tissue expanders. Done in three stages, the described technique provides enough skin for a total nasal reconstruction. The final result is obtained after subsequent refinements, and the total number of procedures is equivalent to when more sophisticated techniques are employed, such as tissue expansion or microsurgery.

“…It was at the Queen's Hospital that Gillies devised a tubed pedicled flap for use on a severely burned patient in October 1917, although it was Vladimir Filatov (Fig. 4) who had first performed and reported the procedure in the Ukraine in 1916 10 . The tubed pedicle flap remained the most commonly used reconstructive method until 1974 when free tissue transfers became a reality.…”

Background Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS) can trace its origins as far back as 3000 BC. Despite this, it remained a relatively rare and unestablished branch of surgery until the devastating injuries of the World Wars necessitated reconstruction. Returning wartime surgeons used the skills they had learned on the battlefield to continue PRS in Australia and New Zealand. This article examines the significant contributions of Australian and New Zealand surgeons to the founding of PRS as a global specialty and provides an account of the strenuous dedicated competition that led to the development of microsurgery and advances in reconstruction. Methods A comprehensive review of medical, medical humanities, and history databases (PubMed; MEDLINE; Web of Knowledge; Anthropology; Encyclopaedia of ancient history) and non‐digital printed texts was conducted using multiple search terms and filters including Reconstruction; Plastic Surgery; Burns; Flaps; and Microsurgery). The search was restricted to publications that focused on the period between 1818 CE to current. Results Significant contributions of surgeons from the Antipodes occurred during several periods including the Industrial era, World Wars, Post‐war and in the modern age. Conclusions Stirred by their wartime experience, surgeons from Australia and New Zealand laid the foundations of the global success of Plastic Surgery in the modern age and helped establish it as a specialty in its own right.
