Introduction: We aimed to determine the proportion of UK aesthetic surgery training taking place in the independent sector, how this experience is gained, and factors associated with trainee participation. We also aimed to draw comparisons between training in the National Health Services (NHS) and independent sectors.
Methods: Plastic Surgery Trainees were asked to complete a 10-item questionnaire, in addition to their usual operative entry on eLogbook, when logging a procedure with an aesthetic operative code, prospectively over a 6-month period.
Article Synopsis
- Nasal dermoid sinus cysts (NDSCs) are rare congenital anomalies that occur in about 1 in 30,000 births, potentially causing infections and connecting to the central nervous system.
- A study reviewed the management of 19 patients with NDSCs treated at a single center from 2000 to 2008, focusing on demographics, clinical presentation, and surgical methods.
- Surgical procedures commonly involved a bicoronal approach and craniotomy, while imaging techniques (CT and MRI) had limitations in predicting intracranial extension; long-term follow-up showed no deep recurrences and only a few superficial ones.
