Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Plastic surgery units manage a significant volume of trauma cases.
  • Understanding trauma patient demographics and injury patterns is crucial for effective resource allocation and treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the demographics, injury mechanisms, anatomical distribution, management, and complications in patients with plastic surgical trauma.
  • To provide insights into the characteristics of trauma patients presenting to a plastic surgery unit.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted.
  • Data from 1034 trauma patients treated between January 2009 and April 2012 were analyzed.
  • Patients were enrolled from the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit, excluding acute burns and trauma sequelae.

Main Results:

  • The study included 1034 patients (82.7% male), with a mean age of 20.84 years.
  • The upper limb was the most commonly affected region (47.6%), followed by the head and neck (26.4%).
  • Road traffic accidents (RTAs) were the primary cause (32.9%), with lacerations being the most frequent injury type. Wound excision and closure (45.7%) were common procedures, and postoperative complications occurred in 4.35% of patients.

Conclusions:

  • Plastic surgical trauma predominantly affects young males, with RTAs as the main cause and upper limb injuries being most prevalent.
  • Management and complication rates align with international literature, though microvascular surgery is not performed at this center.
  • Regular audits of plastic surgical trauma care are recommended to enhance patient outcomes and highlight the role of plastic surgery.
