Hi!
PlaRecon extends a warm welcome to all Plastic Surgery residents, young Plastic Surgery colleagues and also Medical students & General Surgery residents (wondering about this discipline or aspiring to be a Plastic Surgeon). This blog/site is dedicated to you and to the learning of Plastic Surgery, together.
You guessed it right
‘PlaRecon’ name is derived from Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and covers the entire spectrum of Plastic Surgery. Its aim is to make learning Plastic Surgery- easy and fun.
Though modern Plastic Surgery is only a century-old discipline, Plastic Surgery can be said to be an ancient (lost) branch dating back to as early as 6th century BC with its origin in India when Maharshri Sushruta not only designed surgical instruments and performed nose reconstructions using cheek flap, but also documented the procedure and more in a manuscript- Suśruta samhitā.
