Digital Images in Academic Plastic Surgery: A Novel and Secure Methodology for Use in Clinical Practice and Research.
Summary of "Digital Images in Academic Plastic Surgery: A Novel and Secure Methodology for Use in Clinical Practice and Research."
Digital photographs have become an integral part in plastic and reconstructive surgery. They are significant in clinical research and outcome evaluation. There is a need for effective and secure methods to store, search, and retrieve those photographs. We developed a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliant searchable database to archive and index clinical information for clinical and research purposes.

Interdisciplinarity in German academic Plastic Surgery - irrelevant or forward-looking?
Plastic and Reconstructive surgery is able to treat patients from head to toe, whereby it can preserve, reform or reconstruct anatomically functional or aesthetic unions. This kind of expertise is app...
Harnessing Social Media to Advance Research in Plastic Surgery.
Social media have transformed plastic surgery, intersecting patient education, provider marketing, and academic interactions across the globe. Despite this, social media are seldom used in research. T...
Simulation is progressively being integrated into surgical training, yet its utility in plastic surgery has not been well described. We present a prospective, randomized, blinded trial comparing digit...
Despite its increasing acceptance as an autonomous specialty the field of plastic surgery remains underrepresented in terms of independent departments with a dedicated research infrastructure. The obj...

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Surgery, Plastic
The branch of surgery concerned with restoration, reconstruction, or improvement of defective, damaged, or missing structures.
Surgery, Computer-assisted
Surgical procedures conducted with the aid of computers. This is most frequently used in orthopedic and laparoscopic surgery for implant placement and instrument guidance. Image-guided surgery interactively combines prior CT scans or MRI images with real-time video.
Video-assisted Surgery
Endoscopic surgical procedures performed with visualization via video transmission. When real-time video is combined interactively with prior CT scans or MRI images, this is called image-guided surgery (see SURGERY, COMPUTER-ASSISTED).
Radiography, Dental, Digital
A rapid, low-dose, digital imaging system using a small intraoral sensor instead of radiographic film, an intensifying screen, and a charge-coupled device. It presents the possibility of reduced patient exposure and minimal distortion, although resolution and latitude are inferior to standard dental radiography. A receiver is placed in the mouth, routing signals to a computer which images the signals on a screen or in print. It includes digitizing from x-ray film or any other detector.
