📢 new research from our team in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 📢

Our senior authors have long hypothesized that, similar to facial buttresses, buttresses exist within the internal orbit. In this study, we demonstrate the existence of orbital buttresses: journals.lww.com/plasreconsurg/… Shock Trauma Johns Hopkins Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

New Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery paper (bit.ly/3xW4i5q) by Johns Hopkins Medicine Johns Hopkins Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery & Shock Trauma is 1st to describe "internal orbit buttresses," protective structures similar to facial buttresses. Understanding them is crucial to craniofacial reconstruction. Bashar Hassan, MD

Such a great patient story who received care from Richard Redett

At the Johns Hopkins Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery JohnsHopkinsBayview Burn Center it’s the exciting start of a new academic year. Today our Emily Werthman taught about our nurse driven resuscitation protocol which helps us be as precise as possible in resuscitating major burn patients.

Congrats to Dr. Kristen Broderick named one of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons for #breastaugmentation by @newsweek. Dr. Broderick specializes in #breastreconstruction after cancer, body contouring & cosmetic #plasticsurgery.

The ⁦American Burn Association⁩ leads the way in US burn education. Proud to represent ⁦JohnsHopkinsBayview⁩ ⁦Johns Hopkins Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery⁩ at today’s strategic education summit with our ⁦Emily Werthman⁩!

Kudos to Johns Hopkins Medicine Johns Hopkins Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery assoc prof Damon Cooney on being quoted in Live Science article, "Why are Scars Permanent?" (livescience.com/health/anatomy…).

Learn from Dr. Damon Cooney about #scars, why they are permanent, and potential treatment options. 🔽

Our own Mark Fisher MD, FACS talks about types of burns in a Newsweek story. He says "Once you get a larger, deeper burn, it can be a real problem. People who die from burns typically die from infection.” tinyurl.com/mv56ck48

Over the last few months, the Hopkins Pediatric Burn Center has seen an increase in large burns from tabletop fire pits. According to researchers, these serious injuries often occur while children are unsupervised. Be sure to follow these safety tips 🔥 #SummerSafety #KidsHealth

We are excited to officially welcome our two new microsurgery colleagues to our team: Dr. Wendy Chen & Dr. Nima Khavanin (Nima Khavanin). Both are seeing patients at @SibleyOnline.

Actinic keratoses are common in sun-exposed skin, but some can turn into squamous cell skin cancer. Here’s what you need to know. bit.ly/4cjyF41

.Johns Hopkins Medicine Johns Hopkins Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery & Hopkins Surgery study in Journal of Surgical Research (bit.ly/46U6Zlc) largest to assess #RectusAbdominis muscle atrophy after pulmonary lobectomy (removal of lung lobe). Found RA atrophy common; lessened by surgery that avoids intercostal nerve damage.

While women now outnumber men in medical school, they are also leaving the profession at alarmingly higher rates. Yet, in multiple fields, female physicians have been shown to improve health outcomes for their patients. Join us in understanding why this happens and what we can do

Congratulations, Nina! 🥳

Woo-hoo! Great work! 🎇

Please join me in congratulating Johns Hopkins Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Will Padovano for receiving the 2024 American Foundation for Surgery of the Hand Basic Science Grant for his work he is doing with mentor Dr. Sami Tuffaha entitled “Diagnosing Lower Motor Neuron Injuries with Positron Emission

NESPS program co-chairs Johns Hopkins Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Dr. Kristen Broderick , Dr. Ashley Amalfi and President Stony Brook Medicine Dr. Tara Huston ran a great meeting! Congratulations. #plasticsurgery

One of the best aspects of mentoring our research fellows/medical students is seeing them present their work at national meetings. Congrats Johns Hopkins Medicine Katherine Zhou and Matthew Heron for their work presented NESPS and their mentors Drs. Kristen Broderick, Lily Mundy
