Article Synopsis
- The scoping review examines craniomaxillofacial (CMF) trauma literature in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to identify research gaps and inform future studies and policies.
- The study analyzed 54 articles published between 2012 and 2023, ultimately including 13 studies that focused on over 10,000 patients, predominantly male, with road traffic accidents being the most common cause of injury.
- Findings highlight that most patients faced treatment delays due to shortages in medical resources, indicating an urgent need for improved data and targeted research in LMICs to address CMF trauma effectively.*
Objectives: (1) To describe electronic communication between global surgeons and trainees in a low-middle income country (LMIC) and to gauge appeal of the WhatsApp platform (2) To introduce a novel intensive ear reconstruction teaching module for surgical capacity building using simulation in a LMIC.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Setting: University-based medical center in Haiti.
