Microsurgery poses unique challenges that include the use of an operating microscope, fine instruments, and a restricted view of the operative field. We designed and delivered a microsurgical skills session for surgical nurses consisting of an introduction to the operating microscope and 3 practical stations involving increasingly complex motor tasks designed to highlight the importance of instrument handling and improve awareness of microsurgical challenges. Consultant plastic surgeons acted as scrub persons to add an element of role-reversal. All participants enjoyed the training session and felt that it improved their understanding of microsurgery and was relevant and helpful to their day-to-day role. All attendees reported that they would partake in similar sessions in the future. Our work suggests that role-reversal and skills-based education and training are valuable tools in improving multidisciplinary collaboration during microsurgery. Increasing shared knowledge of complex procedures encourages effective teamwork and communication, which leads to improved efficiency and better patient care. Our study is a first step toward development of a standardized microsurgical skills course for plastic surgical nurses and has broader implications for interprofessional education across all surgical specialties.</p>","PeriodicalId":20248,"journal":{"name":"Plastic Surgical Nursing","volume":"41 4","pages":"203-207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39697466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of this study were to assess preoperative expectations in women undergoing mastectomy and initial breast reconstruction, provide expectations-based education, and evaluate satisfaction with education. Fifty-one women undergoing mastectomy and breast tissue expander placement participated in this study. At a preoperative education appointment, participants completed a questionnaire to determine whether their expectations were realistic, unrealistic, or unformed. A nurse practitioner reviewed the results and provided patient-centered, expectations-based education to modify expectations from unrealistic to realistic or to set expectations from unformed to realistic. Four to 6 weeks after surgery, a second questionnaire was provided to assess perceived satisfaction with education. Unrealistic and unformed expectations were identified related to complications, pain, scarring, sensation, symmetry, and aesthetic results. After receiving patient-centered, expectations-based preoperative education, participants agreed they had received the appropriate amount of information and felt well prepared for their surgery and recovery. Most participants reported they were aware of possible complications, had effective tools to manage their pain, and had received adequate information about scarring and sensation changes. Some participants continued to have unrealistic or unformed expectations related to aesthetic results.

The standard therapy is clean intermittent catheterization. Latissimus dorsi detrusor myoplasty (LDDM) has been shown to provide functional contraction and allow patients with bladder acontractility to void voluntarily. Our goal was to summarize experimental studies of LDDM. We hypothesized that experimental studies would show that latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) flaps for detrusor myoplasty have superior outcomes when compared with other types of flaps. On January 17, 2020, we conducted a systematic review of the PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Clinical Answers, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and EMBASE databases, without time frame limitations, to identify articles on the use of LDDM. We excluded studies that investigated other treatments. Of 54 articles identified by the search, three fulfilled the eligibility criteria. A total of 24 dogs underwent procedures and were evaluated with a maximum follow-up of 9 months. Three types of procedures were performed: LDM in situ reconfiguration, LDM myoplasty, and augmentation cystoplasty after supratrigonal cystectomy. Electrical stimulation, cystography, urodynamic and hydrodynamic measurements, and microscopic examinations were performed. Innervated LDM flaps transferred to the bladder were able to contract and promote voiding in response to electrical stimulation. Experimental studies have shown the feasibility of LDDM in canine models. Although no comparison groups were included, innervated LDM flap transferred to the bladder showed promising results regarding contraction capable of voiding.</p>","PeriodicalId":20248,"journal":{"name":"Plastic Surgical Nursing","volume":"41 3","pages":"159-162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39385810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
