we BEGAN with plastic surgery, total#1, dr. Zakariya #1

[Kademad]

Hi everybody, just few notes for today's lecture:

it was the first lec of the year, dr. Zakariya was really nice.
he talked about plastic surgery and mentioned that it's not mainly cosmetic, it's usually reconstructive.
the most important tissue to deal with in PS is the skin
blood supply to the skin is the main judge for the success or failure of transplant
he talked about skin grafts, mentioned that we should know them since we took them earlier
talked about "reconstruction ladder", beginning with direct closure->skin graft->skin flap->free tissue transplant->microsurgery
flaps have the main difference of having the pedicle of blood supply.

This lec is one of a seried of 4 lectures


take care

i know that plastic sergury is important......but it seems to me that last year's surgery lectures were more interesting ....although as i'v known recently that simple plastic procedures are one of the responsibilities of the rotator,,,,,so PAY ATTENTION you never know when you'd need such knowledge...
