Abstract

Originally founded in 1941 during the Second World War, the Guinea Pig Club was a group composed of airmen that sustained severe burn injuries during the war. During this time, the field of reconstructive surgery was still developing and available reconstructive options were extremely limited. Here, we explore the revolutionary advancements in burn care and reconstructive surgery pioneered by Sir Archibald McIndoe, as well as expand on the legacy of the Guinea Pig Club.
