Article Synopsis
- Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a slow-growing skin tumor that typically requires surgical excision for treatment, particularly on the face, where reconstruction can be complex.
- A retrospective study of 32 patients treated for facial BCC at a hospital was conducted, alongside a literature review that identified 218 relevant journal articles, leading to the creation of a reconstruction algorithm.
- Effective reconstruction of facial defects post-BCC surgery depends on understanding esthetic principles, flap anatomy, and the surgeon's experience, with more intricate cases often requiring advanced techniques and a collaborative approach.
The study was carried out to quantify the changes induced by the pandemic in plastic surgery practice and training and to study the impact of the webinars on plastic surgery education from a residents' perspective. In this multicentric study, the number and type of surgeries, cause of injuries, and their regional variation during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) period (February-September 2020) were compared with pre-COVID-19 time. An online survey on the impact of webinars was conducted for plastic surgery trainees across the country.
