Abstract:

Reduction mammaplasty has become an accepted surgical procedure in North American society. The purpose of this study was to determine the method used by Canadian plastic surgeons to perform this procedure. A survey was sent out to all members of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons in the spring 1993 mailing which questioned them on various aspects of their technique. Response rate was 45% and surgeons did on average 4.6 reduction mammaplasties per month which were covered by provincial health insurance in 96% of cases. The most popular method overall was an inferior pedicle technique, used by 65% of surgeons. Most surgeons altered their procedure in special clinical situations such as small or very large reductions, ptotic breasts, tubular breasts, or second procedures.

Abstract:

Business and economic aspects of a medical practice are rapidly becoming more complex. Physicians are at a crossroads in the manner by which medical and surgical care will be delivered in Canada, at the very base of which are the business aspects and management of health care. The purpose of this research study was to determine the business acumen of plastic surgeons in active practice. The resource base was Canadian plastic surgeons who are members of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons. The intent of the questionnaire research study was to evaluate whether these surgeons perceive this area as necessary and whether they feel adequately prepared to manage this aspect of their practice. The findings of the research indicate that the plastic surgeons surveyed did perceive a need for business acumen in the practice of medicine. The majority felt they were not prepared adequately to deal with the business side of operating a medical practice and perceived a need for basic knowledge in the area of business. The implications of this research are that medical education has ignored this important aspect of preparing a physician to practise medicine in the present economic environment. Educational materials to structure and systematically disseminate business resource information need to be developed so that this group would be able to deal adequately with business-related problems when faced with them in medical practice. Due to the specialty-specific nature of the business needs, this education should likely occur during residency or fellowship training.

Abstract:

Purpose: We conducted a national survey of Canadian plastic surgeons to assess if inconsistencies in management strategies exist for single metacarpal fractures. Methods: A cross-sectional study of Canadian plastic surgeons who perform hand surgeries was conducted. A 15-question survey was distributed to all members of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons. Participants’ demographics, practice settings, and current treatment strategies for patients presenting with single metacarpal fractures were evaluated. Results: A total of 113 Canadian plastic surgeons met inclusion criteria. The majority of respondents were male (76%), with 50% in practice for more than 15 years. Canadian surgeons used a wide variety of surgical techniques for the management of single metacarpal fractures, with close reduction (94%), Kirshner wires (94%), and splinting and immobilization (89%) being the most common. The majority of plastic surgeons stated that rotational deformity (81%) was the most important indication for surgery. Surgeons demonstrated a trend toward immobilization after splinting (48%), instead of early mobilization after splinting (21%). When results were stratified by years in practice, no differences in surgical and non-surgical management were found, although surgeons in practice for less than 15 years were more likely to suggest hand therapy. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate inconsistencies in management of single metacarpal fractures among Canadian plastic surgeons. Surprisingly, surgeons in the survey tended to favor immobilization, as oppose to the literature that favors mobilization. The study highlights the lack of clear guidelines dictating treatment, possibly leading to these inconsistencies.

Abstract:

Introduction: As plastic surgeons are continuing to form larger groups, it is essential to select candidates who will contribute to a positive work environment. This article shows which traits may be the most valuable when selecting candidates and in which ways a selection committee may want to focus their search. Methods: For the study, the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons’ members answered a survey containing questions about demographics, the factors which influence the selection process, and their hiring experiences. Responses were separated and compared in groups based on gender, practice type, group size, and years practising. Significance was established if P < .05 using the χ2 test. Results: The most and least important factors regarding hiring a new group member were established. Statistically significant results were obtained between several different factors, including hiring a non-Canadian, the importance of the candidate’s professional reputation, the number of publications by the candidate, and the presence or absence of program director letters. A majority (54%) of society members regret having hired a candidate, with the vast majority of these (75%) indicating personality and work ethic issues as opposite to professional skills as the uncomplimentary feature. Conclusion: This study has identified the key features which influence hiring new candidates. The need to develop a more efficient hiring process has been identified and has highlighted the difficulty faced by Canadian plastic surgery groups when recruiting new members.

Abstract:

Gender disparity in plastic surgery in Canada is an important issue. The Women Plastic Surgeons of Canada (WPSC) group was created to highlight the interests and concerns of female members of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons (CSPS). Women Plastic Surgeons of Canada seeks to teach and implement measures to overcome the internal and external factors contributing to “the plastic ceiling.” In addition, the WPSC group was created to raise awareness about the gender gap in our leadership and implement strategies to empower female surgeons to “lean in” and seek out leadership roles in plastic surgery. Education, mentorship, and networking among female CSPS members are first steps in empowering our female surgeons. All members of the CSPS are encouraged to learn about gender disparity in order to work together to address this issue.

Abstract:

Objectives: The transition to competency-based education and restraints on trainee work hours necessitates re-evaluation of resident education. The role of learning style in plastic surgery residency training has not been investigated. The objective of this study was to identify the learning styles of plastic surgeons and trainees in Canadian Plastic Surgery programs. Methods: A cross-sectional electronic survey was distributed to all members of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons and through program directors at Canadian training programs. Basic demographics were captured. The Kolb Learning Style Inventory was used to identify each individual’s learning style (converging, accommodative, assimilative, or divergent). Results: There were a total of 98 respondents (15% response rate), including 62 staff plastic surgeons (63%) and 36 trainees (37%). All regions of Canada and age categories were well represented. The most dominant learning styles were convergent (47%) and accommodative (29%). No significant difference in dominant learning styles existed between age groups; while males were more commonly convergent learners, females were accommodative learners. Conclusions: The majority of plastic surgery trainees and staff have learning styles that rely heavily on practical application and experiential learning. Accounting for this propensity towards convergent and accommodative learning styles should be incorporated into training programs to maximize efficacy of learning.

Abstract:

Background: The purpose of this work was to determine the regional anesthesia preferences of plastic surgeons (PS) and anesthesiologists (A) involved in breast reconstruction in Canada. Methods: Online surveys were sent to members of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons (CSPS) and the Canadian Anesthesiologists Society (CAS). The primary outcome was regional anesthesia preferences in breast reconstruction (delayed, immediate, alloplastic, autologous). Secondary outcomes included the availability and the influence of specialty and academic status on preferences. Statistical analysis used descriptive statistics and Pearson χ2 test. Results: Responses from CSPS and CAS totaled 141 (response rate = 30%) and 217 (response rate = 14%), respectively. Compared with non-academic centres (NAC), academic centres (AC) had significantly greater access to (AC = 60%, NAC = 39%, P = .001) and preferred to use regional anesthesia more often (AC = 36%, NAC = 10%, P < .001). The following proportions of physicians preferred to use regional anesthesia: 40% (PS = 32%, A = 44%, P = .081) for immediate alloplastic reconstruction, 23% (PS = 24%, A = 22%, P = .821) for delayed alloplastic reconstruction, 34% (PS = 18%, A = 41%, P < .001) for immediate autologous reconstruction, and 19% (PS = 13%, A = 21%, P = .195) for delayed autologous reconstruction. Regional anesthesia preferences were significantly different between plastic surgeons and anesthesiologists ( P < .001)—anesthesiologists favoured paravertebral blocks for all reconstructions, while plastic surgeons favoured pectoral nerve blocks for immediate alloplastic reconstruction and intercostal nerve blocks for all other reconstructions. Conclusions: Plastic surgeons and anesthesiologists prefer not to use regional anesthesia in the majority breast reconstructions. Among those who deploy regional anesthesia, plastic surgeons and anesthesiologist have divergent preferences with respect to modality. There is a need for a prospective study comparing paravertebral blocks and intercostal nerve blocks.

Abstract:

Introduction: In recent years, the method of vascular control during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) has come under scrutiny due to catastrophic consequences of a device failure. This study sought to examine the surgical preferences of Canadian donor surgeons with regards to vascular control and their perception on the safety of these modalities. We also surveyed the experience with device malfunction and their subsequent management during LDN.Methods: An online survey was sent out to donor surgeons registered with the Canadian Society of Transplantation. Surveys were anonymous and voluntary. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the collected responses. Recollection of the sequelae and outcomes from device malfunction were also queried.Results: Twenty-eight of 37 surgeons (76% response rate) responded to the survey. At least one surgeon from every institution in Canada performing LDN responded to the survey. Laparoscopic stapler is the most commonly used device for securing the renal artery (61%) and renal vein (67%). Overall, surgeons felt the stapler was the safest method of securing the renal artery. Stapler misfire and clip slippage were reported by eight (28.5%) and 1 2 (43%) surgeons, respectively. Most cases were salvageable: laparoscopically (30%), open conversion (30%), and by hand port (5%). Slippage of a plastic locking clip resulted in one emergent laparotomy on POD#1 and one stapler misfire was converted to open resulting in donor death.Conclusions: Although rare, hemorrhagic complications can occur from device malfunction resulting in poor outcomes for healthy volunteers undergoing LDN. Surgeons need to remain vigilant when selecting the appropriate modality for vascular control.

Abstract:

The authors have provided an in-depth review of the history of saline and silicone gel–filled breast implants. In the history of medicine, no devices have been more scrutinized and thoroughly studied than breast implants. Although we as plastic surgeons recognize and appreciate the benefits that our patients derive from these devices, society as a whole continues to remain skeptical. The reasons for this are complex and multifactorial but appear to be fueled by the media, oppositional organizations, and several trial lawyers. Prior to 1990, when the silicone gel implant controversy began, there were only eight indexed publications that dealt with the issue of silicone gel breast implants. Since 1990, there have been more than 500 indexed publications dealing with silicone gel implants. At the time of the moratorium in 1992, we as plastic surgeons did not have a leg to stand on because there was a paucity of scientific evidence to support our observations that silicone breast implants were safe and effective devices.

Abstract:

- The history of Western scientific and philosophical thought with regard to the human body is marked by a fascination for establishing the parameters of an ideal body shape. During the nineteenth century physiognomy and cosmetic surgery both took inspiration from the illusion of perfect geometrization of the body and its parameterization. The legitimation of cosmetic surgery, in particular, was based on the medicalization of deviations from ideal forms (normal and normative at the same time) of the body, producing the body as an object operable in potentia. This still occurs today particularly in physician-patient interactions and in media discourse. Through an analysis of cosmetic surgery texts (produced respectively by the most important Italian society for plastic surgery, a clinic and a handbook of cosmetic plastic surgery for surgeons) repertoires reading physical appearance through the lenses of normality and pathology are investigated. Based on a qualitative survey of plastic surgeons, the inertia encountered by the process of medicalization of ugliness in everyday practice is discussed.Keywords: cosmetic surgery, medicalization, social costruction of the body, ugliness, normalizationParole chiave: chirurgia estetica, medicalizzazione, costruzione sociale del corpo, bruttezza, normalizzazione

Abstract:

This essay discusses the position of child psychiatry as a subspecialty in Canada today. Proceeding from a review of a paper written by Dr. Quentin Rae-Grant in 1970 “Adult and Child Psychiatry — One or Two Nations?” the author, using the concept of a nation as a metaphor, explores the evolution of child psychiatry as a subspecialty in Canada. The history of child psychiatry in Canada is reviewed briefly; from its early beginnings to an increased understanding of its uniqueness as a subspecialty, finally through to the formation of the Canadian Academy of Child Psychiatry in 1980. The essay stresses the mutuality of our dependence on the Canadian Psychiatric Association. The author emphasizes our mutual dependence on the greater organizational body of psychiatrists, and encourages a greater participation of child psychiatrists within the Canadian Psychiatric Association. The author also emphasizes the need to have a closer relationship with the Canadian Paediatric Society. In addition, the author discusses in some detail the more complex and controversial relationship between child psychiatry and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Finally the author emphasizes the importance of a close working relationship with the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. All of these relationships are emphasized in terms of mutual dependence.

"Optimizing Outcomes in Free Flap Breast Reconstruction in the Community Hospital Setting: A Stepwise Approach to DIEP/SIEA Flap Procedures with Banking a Hemiabdominal Flap."

Abstract:

Background Free flap breast reconstruction is a conventional procedure in many countries; however, microvascular compromise remains a devastating outcome. Given the morbidity of total necrosis, optimizing free flap salvage stands out as an important area for research, especially among surgeons to overcome the learning curve period and in resource constrained scenario such as community hospitals. To ensure free deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP)/superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flap breast reconstruction, the authors present a technique involving raising a hemiabdominal flap as a free flap, and banking the remaining flap to be utilized if needed in a subsequent procedure. Methods A retrospective review was performed on all free flap breast reconstructions. In this period, 84 patients (mean age: 50.1 ± 8 years) were included. Results In this study, 65.5% patients underwent immediate reconstruction, and 51.2% received DIEP reconstruction; 9.52% patients were returned to the operating room, and salvage reconstruction using the banked flap was performed in all patients. No differences were observed regarding early complications and age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists status, diabetes, smoking history, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and type of flap used (p > 0.05). Hypertension was significantly associated with early complications (p < 0.05). Donor-site complications were associated with RT (p < 0.05). Conclusion The banked flap is a reliable method for ensuring DIEP/SIEA flap survival and should be considered in higher risk reconstructions and community hospitals. We believe that the present technique can be a good addition to the arsenal of plastic surgeons dealing with free flap breast reconstructions in selected patients.

Abstract:

Category: Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has been shown to be a viable option in the treatment of end stage ankle arthritis (ESAA). Early reports demonstrated good results with intramedullary fixation implants. Third generation implants of this kind added a central sulcus to the talar component. This is a report of clinical follow up data from a prospectively collected database at a single US institution using a third generation fixed bearing total ankle arthroplasty implant with a stemmed tibial component and a talar component with a central sulcus. To our knowledge, this is the first report of 5 year follow up data for this implant. Methods: Patients undergoing primary TAA at a single institution by one of four fellowship trained orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons with a third generation fixed bearing implant consisting of an intramedullary stemmed tibial component and a sulcus talus that were at least 5 years postoperative were reviewed from a prospectively collected database. These patients were followed at regular intervals with history, physical examination and radiographs; multiple patient reported outcomes (PRO) measures were obtained. Primary outcomes included implant survivability and PRO scores. Secondary outcomes included coronal plane radiographic alignment (Medial distal tibial articular angle (MDTA) and talar tilt angle (TTA)), evaluation for osteolysis, and failure mode when applicable. All reoperation events were recorded using the Canadian Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (COFAS) Reoperations Coding System (CROCS). Results: 121 TAA with this implant were performed in 119 patients between 2010 and 2013; 64 met inclusion criteria. The mean age at surgery was 61.3 ± 10.0 years (range 38.7-84.3). The mean duration of follow up for living patients that retained both initial components at final follow-up was 6.1 ± 0.9 years (range 4.7 – 8.1 years). 26.6% of ankles had a preoperative MDTA and/or TTA greater than 10 degrees. There were 6 (9.4%) failures that occurred at a mean 2.0 ± 1.4 years postoperative. Two failures were due to deep infection. Only one failure was related to tibial component subsidence. One patient is currently scheduled for revision due to talar component subsidence. Conclusion: This cohort of TAA patients with minimum 5 year follow up using a third generation fixed bearing implant demonstrates acceptable implant survival, improved patient reported outcomes scores and maintenance of coronal plane alignment. These data also suggest tolerance of a larger preoperative deformity with improved implant design. To our knowledge, this is the first report with 5 year data on this implant. Continued follow up and reporting is needed to ensure that these favorable outcomes are maintained. Additionally, further investigation on acceptable coronal plane alignment correction with TAA is needed to determine the possible limitations of this procedure.

These patients were followed at regular intervals with history, physical examination and radiographs. All ankles were classified using the Canadian Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (COFAS) End-Stage Ankle Arthritis Classification System. The primary outcome was implant survivability. Secondary outcomes included pre- and postoperative coronal plane radiographic alignment, evaluation for osteolysis, and failure mode when applicable. All reoperation events were recorded using the COFAS Reoperations Coding System (CROCS). Results: 126 TAA with this implant were performed in 124 patients between 2010 and 2013; 74 met inclusion criteria for our study. The mean age at surgery was 61.6 +- 10.0 years (range 38.7-84.3). Four patients died with their initial implants in place. The mean duration of follow up for living patients that retained both initial components at final follow-up was 6.2 +- .9 years (range 4.7-8.1 years). 35% (26 of 74) of ankles had a preoperative coronal plane deformity of at least 10 degrees. 11% (8 of 74) of the ankles had a preoperative coronal plane deformity of at least 20 degrees. There were 6 (8%) implant failures that occurred at a mean 2.0 +- 1.4 years postoperative. Two failures were due to deep infection. One failure was related to talar component subsidence. All failures occurred in patients with =preoperative coronal plane deformity of less than 5 degrees. 81% (60 of 74) of TAA had no reoperation events in the follow up period. Conclusion: This cohort of TAA patients with minimum 5 year follow up using a third generation fixed bearing implant demonstrates acceptable implant survival, improved reoperation rates, and maintenance of coronal plane alignment. These data also suggest tolerance of a larger preoperative deformity with improved implant design. Continued follow up and reporting is needed to ensure that these favorable outcomes are maintained. Additionally, further investigation on acceptable coronal plane alignment correction with TAA is needed to determine the possible limitations of this procedure.
