Plastic surgery

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty interested in the correction of form and function. While famous for aesthetic surgery, plastic surgery also includes a variety of fields: craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, burn surgery, microsurgery, and pediatric surgery. The word "plastic" derives from the Greek plastikos meaning to mold or to shape; its use here is not connected with the synthetic polymer material known as plastic. Common techniques used in plastic surgery are:* incision* excision* microsurgery* chemosurgery* electrosurgery* laser surgery* dermabrasion* liposuction In plastic surgery the transfer of skin tissue (skin grafting) is one of the most common procedures. (In traditional surgery a “graft” is a piece of living tissue, organ, etc., that is transplanted. * Autografts: Skin grafts taken from the recipient. If absent or deficient of natural tissue, alternatives can be:o Cultured Sheets of epithelial cells in vitro. o Synthetic compounds (e.g., Integra--a 2 layered dermal substitute consisting superficially of silicone and deeply of bovine tendon collagen with glycosaminoglycans).* Allografts: Skin grafts taken from a donor of the same species.* Xenografts: Skin grafts taken from a donor of a different species. Usually, good results are expected from plastic surgery that emphasizes:* Careful planning of incisions so that they fall in the line of natural skin folds or lines.* Appropriate choice of wound closure.* Use of best available suture materials.* Early removal of exposed sutures so that the wound is held closed by buried sutures.

Good Plastics

When I was young I was taught in school that plastics were harmful to the environment but this one has caught my attention. It is a plastic bag for shoppers in SM,Philippines that is marked "BIODEGRADABLE". I don't know how they make their plastics but if it truly decomposes then I encourage other shopping malls and stores to do the same and do their share in saving Mother Earth too. Now There's no more excuse for fans of the more durable plastic.
