There has been discussion about both gender dysphoria in general but, more specifically, the practical, psychological, and financial implications of carrying out gender reassignment surgery. In the United Kingdom, this extends to a debate on whether it is justifiable to carry out these procedures within an already hard-pressed National Health Service. This chapter discusses the nature, history, and background of both gender dysphoria and gender reassignment surgery and whether such procedures are justifiable in terms of outcomes and patient satisfaction; and also whether these are legitimate procedures to carry out within the National Health Service.

The technique employed a tongue, created from the proximal tendon, folded over to bridge the transection and reattached distally. Animals were allowed immediate post-operative mobilisation. Tendon material, 14-120 days post-operatively, was examined ultrastructurally in control and~experimental animals from four different zones within the repaired tendon. The operation was well tolerated and adhesion free. Associated with the repair, two types of collagen fibril populations were observed. Firstly, in areas where tendon tissue had been removed, there was a population of fibrils with a narrow range of diameters. Secondly, in areas where tendon tissue was subjected to an Increased level of stress per unit cross-sectional area, a population of fib& with a range of diameters similar to that of controls but with a marked increase in the percentage of small diameter fib&. The relevance of these observations to human tendon repair is discussed.

Research paper thumbnail of The birth of plastic surgery: the story of nasal reconstruction from the Edwin Smith Papyrus to the twenty-first century

The objective of this article was to give a succinct and interesting account of the development of nasal reconstruction from antiquity to the present day. The authors present the story of nasal reconstruction, including those contributions not often cited in the English literature using articles sourced from MEDLINE, ancient manuscripts, original quotes, techniques, and illustrations. The story of rhinoplasty is one of peaks of achievement by individuals such as Sushruta, Branca, Tagliocozzi, Roe, and Joseph. Since Roe introduced the concept of cosmetic rhinoplasty, the evolution of nasal reconstructive techniques has reached such a level that the expectation is not only to restore form and function, but also to achieve excellent cosmetic appearance. Although repair of nasal injuries is the oldest form of reconstructive surgery, being cited in Egyptian papyrus inscriptions such as the Edwin Smith Papyrus dating back to 2500 to 3000 BC, its complexity continues to challenge surgeons today. This article is dedicated to those individuals who have devoted their lives and work to the advancement of the field of plastic surgery for the benefit of mankind.

It determines whether transfer to the regional burns unit will be required as well as the magnitude of initial fluid resuscitation. Several studies ...
