Scars from Nonsuicidal Self-Injury - What Plastic Surgery Can Do Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) can induce characteristic scar patterns indicating the origin of these scars. This frequently results in the stigmatization of the involved pa…

[BACKGROUND] Research is an integral part of academic medicine. In plastic surgery, it sets the course for innovations in the specialty. The purpose of this study is to present the research performance of plastic surgeons in Germany for the…

[INTRODUCTION] Venous anastomosis remains to be a challenging step in microsurgical tissue transfer and venous complications constitute to a common reason for free flap failure. While several studies have compared mechanical vs. hand-sewn v…

[BACKGROUND] Despite its high prevalence in adolescents and young adults, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is poorly known and understood in areas other than psychiatry. Due to this lack of knowledge, affected patients often face a lack of u…

The concept of indication is used in many ways in medicine and in the healthcare industry. In connection with "medical" and/or "physician-based", it is often used to describe the path that a doctor and a patient take - after weighing up all…

[INTRODUCTION] Breast reconstruction with autologous tissue is a state-of-the art procedure. Several patient-related factors have been identified with regard to the safety and efficacy of these reconstructions. The presented study investiga…

[INTRODUCTION] Several patient-related factors have been identified with regard to the safety and efficacy of breast reconstructions. This study analyzed the largest series of microsurgical breast reconstructions in Germany using deep infer…

[OBJECTIVE] Over the past decade numbers of bilateral mastectomy have increased steadily. As a result, bilateral breast reconstruction is gaining popularity. The presented study compares complications and outcomes of unilateral and bilatera…

[BACKGROUND]  Since 2015/16 the DGPRÄC collects, evaluates and publishes the research activities of academic sections, departments and clinics for plastic surgery at university hospitals in Germany, in order to raise the awareness of plasti…

[BACKGROUND]  Several patient-related factors have been identified with regard to the safety and efficacy of breast reconstructions. Using the largest database available in Europe, the presented study investigated the impact of cigarette sm…

[PURPOSE] Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) at the time of mastectomy is gaining popularity, as studies show no negative impact on recurrence or patient survival, but better aesthetic outcome, less psychological distress and lower treat…

[BACKGROUND]  The loss of a breast, and thus of the female body shape, is often extremely traumatising for women affected. Although free flap grafts have become the gold standard in reconstructive breast surgery, it has not been possible to…

[INTRODUCTION] This report serves to publicize the research of academic institutions for Plastic Surgery within our society DGPRÄC in 2017/2018 and sequels the funding report of 2015/2016. Applications to public, non-public, or industrial f…

In addition to the impact factor, research funding also plays a central role in evaluating the academic performance and quality of a researcher, a clinic or a surgical specialty. The scope and quality of research in Plastic Surgery are usua…

[UNLABELLED] Choosing between round and anatomical form-stable implants is a key decision in the process of breast augmentation. Anatomical devices have been subject to a number of misconceptions that have limited their use. However, in opt…

[PURPOSE] Idiopathic gynecomastia is a common diagnosis in children and adolescents. Though medical treatments reveal potentially harmful side effects, surgical interventions are performable in numerous techniques. In children and adolescen…

[UNLABELLED] Capsular contracture remains a major complication after reconstructive or aesthetic breast augmentation. Formation of capsular fibrosis is a multifactorial process. An initial inflammatory reaction appears to be key to the deve…

Breast augmentation has become one of the most popular procedures in aesthetic plastic surgery. In addition to the well-established procedure for breast enlargement with silicone implants, two further procedures have become established in r…

The results of a survey show that less then 10% of affected women are aware of the various options for breast reconstruction. However, in modern medicine the correlation between emotional well-being and physical health has been established …

The demand for a younger appearance is increasing as the average age of the population increases. Extensive anatomic studies in recent years have improved for facial and breast reconstruction the understanding of anatomic structures and the…

Body contouring surgery is traditionally part of plastic surgery training. Reconstructive techniques are needed most in trauma cases, tumor reconstructions, treatment of degenerative diseases and metabolic diseases such as Madelung's deform…

Very little is known about the degeneration or healing process in traumatic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions. Forty-two patients with symptomatic central traumatic tears in the TFCC (Palmer 1 A) were included in this study. …

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE] Diabetes mellitus and its sequelae such as the "diabetic foot" are increasing in incidence and pose a challenging medical and financial problem. Interdisciplinary teams have been formed to prevent and treat these …

Microsurgical reconstructions are considered an integral art of modern reconstructive concepts, especially in the fields of trauma, tumor reconstruction, and correction of congenital deformities. Patient expectations regarding function and …

Plastic surgery is playing an increasingly important role in interdisciplinary therapeutic concepts for malignant skin and soft tissue tumors. Immediate or early reconstruction of post-resection defects is important for the patient's rehabi…

Reconstruction of the abdominal wall is of importance in many clinical situations, but may require the entire spectrum of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Indications for particular procedures depend on the clinical situation and the pat…
