Improving patient care by virtual case discussion between plastic surgeons and residents of Uganda and the Netherlands.

Introduction: Traditional on-site missions of plastic surgeons from "high-income countries" in "low- and middle-income countries" are often limited in time and lack proper follow-up. Regular digital collaboration could lead to a more impactful and durable exchange of knowledge for plastic surgeons and residents in both settings.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the satisfaction of the first twelve months of weekly digital meetings, explore advantages/disadvantages, and to provide tools for similar initiatives.

Smart surgical glasses for orofacial cleft surgery training in high- and low-income countries: A proof of concept.

Introduction: The coronavirus 2019 pandemic urged us to find alternatives for education through remote proctoring and international surgical collaborations among high-, middle-, and low-income countries. Smart surgical glasses are promising for remote surgical education and international surgical collaborations.

Aims: This study aimed to assess the usability of smart surgical glasses during cleft surgery and explore their potential in remote surgical education and collaboration.

Safety and feasibility of autologous adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction in the treatment of keloids: a phase one randomized controlled pilot trial.

Introduction: Autologous adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) has been described to have therapeutic benefits in the treatment of keloids. However, most of the evidence on its efficacy is based on observational studies the majority of which are conducted in high-income countries and yet the highest burden of keloids is in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Objectives: We set out to determine the safety and feasibility of using autologous adipose derived stromal vascular fraction in the treatment of keloids in LMICs.
