Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to gain ability to identify and examine common problems of plastic surgery with emphasis on: examination of the hand and upper extremity; acute flexor and extensor tendon injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome; cubital tunnel syndrome; acute nerve injuries; finger tip and nail bed injuries; finger fractures. These objectives will be achieved by the clinical clerk's regular attendance and participation as a member of the Plastic Surgery Team. We hope that all clinical clerks will feel their role as an integral part of the team and participate actively with their suggestions in patient care.

Course Content:

Plastic surgery problems in childhood and adult period
Basic techniques and principles in plastic surgery: Atraumatic method for wound healing, grafts, flaps, Z-plasty, repair step
Jaw-face injuries: The first approach to the patient, soft tissue injuries, fractures
Congenital anomalies and pediatric plastic surgery: Cleft lip and palate, congenital melanocytic nevi, vascular anomalies.
