Important Branch

Microsurgery represents an important branch in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. It involves fine skills which doctors need to repair nerves, vessels and thus being able to perform replantation and transplantation of different types of tissue. After traumatic injuries, a plastic surgeon is capable of either coverage of the exposed noble tissue or can perform the replantation of the amputated limb using microsurgery. This field can be very challenging at the beginning, but very rewarding in the end.  The utility microsurgery is quite vast; however, the skills to perform such surgery require a lot of training beforehand. Before doing any replantation or other tissue transplant in humans, it would be recommended that a surgeon should have a basic microsurgical course completed and afterwards several hours of practice in front of the microscope. Last but not least, one should also test the skills acquired in vivo, in order to improve and perform the correct manoeuvres from the beginning. In order to do this, a plastic surgery trainee must therefore have a dedicated laboratory where he/she can practice this art. This place should be quiet, equipped with microscopes and microsurgery instruments and authorized to perform experiments on live animals.

State Of Art

Legend of plastic surgery, the great founder has gone. José Guerrerosantos, M.D. (Fig 1), was not only a Director and Plastic Surgeon in Charge, The Jalisco Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Institute; Professor and Chairman of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of Guadalajara Medical College, Guadalajara, Mexico. He was a founding father of the Instituto Jalisciense de Cirugia Reconstructiva (The Jalisco Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Institute), a hospital affiliated with the University of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico [1]. One of his scientific “children” – Manual of Aesthetic Surgery (editors: Fisher JC, Guerrerosantos J, Gleason M) (Fig 2) is a state of art textbook [2], an immortal masterpiece, which continues to navigate next generations of plastic surgeons in the extremely responsible field of surgery. The sacred Manual, which is a testament for surgeons of different subspecialties. Also, contribution of Professor José Guerrerosantos to the flap of tongue is really helped to lift a flap surgery to the new heights. Professor Guerrerosantos was born as a son of Mexico and will continue to live in his creations, our minds, and the works of his disciples. And it`s very symbolic, that his students and disciples named and still names him the same name as a Jesus was called… “a Teacher”…

Evidence Based Surgery

In plastic and reconstructive surgery, innovation and creativity have been foremost, with science and evidence following. Unlike for a number of other specialties, the advances in plastic surgery have largely come from imagination, innovations, and trial and error, rather than from scientific trials. Somewhat more than for the rest of surgery, in plastics (where the art and craft of each particular surgeon counts immeasurably), randomized controlled trials of techniques have failed to be generated in the past, due to the difficulty of objectively assessing the success of surgery with an aesthetic-based nature. Consequently, evidence-based study of plastic surgery is a relatively new and developing field. This chapter focuses on the growing importance of evidence-based surgery in this specialty, showing that scientific trials are now being performed with increasing frequency.

Aesthetic Results

Background: Frontoethmoidal encephalomeningocele (FEEM) is a congenital defect of the skull which poses many problems to the patient as it results in many craniofacial and neural morbidities. While recently surgical correction of this disease is done in a single-stage procedure, many in Indonesia still perform twostage surgery which bears more risks and is technically difficult to achieve good aesthetic results. This case series intend to assess the feasibility and convenience of teamwork approach between plastic surgeon and neurosurgeon in correcting FEEM in a single-stage operation. Methods:We reviewed 8 patients with FEEM treated in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Division, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta from November 2005 until March 2010. Four of the cases were secondary cases from Neurosurgery Department, and the other 4 cases were treated in single-stage operation, in teamwork with Neurosurgery Department, using the Chula technique. Results of each surgery was assessed using objective parameters, which are Intercanthal Distance (ICD) and Interorbital Distance (IOD); and also subjective parameters which is aesthetic improvement.Result: All of the patients showed significant improvements in ICD and IOD measurements. No complication was found intra and post-operatively. All patients, especially the ones treated with singlestage surgery show good aesthetic results. Conclusion: To achieve goals of defect correction and aesthetically pleasant appearance, single-stage surgery in teamwork with the neurosurgery department seems to be most suitable and convenient.
