Definition
• The word “plastic” comes form “plasticus”, which is a
Latinization of the ancient Greek adjective “plastikos”
(“πλαστικός”, “fit for moulding”).
Historical definition
• 1597, the Bolognese Gaspare
Tagliacozzi (1545–1597), gave the
following definition of our
discipline:
to “restore what Nature has given
and chance has taken away. The
main purpose of this procedure is
not the restoration of the original
beauty of the face, but rather the
rehabilitation of the part in
question”.
The distant past and the wound as a problem
• The ancient origin of plastic surgery relates to the healing of
wounds.
• Transform a defect that heals slowly by 2° intention into one
healing quicker by 1° intention.
• Used, fibers or strips of tendon for sewing, or pinned
together using insect mandibles.

recover.”

Evolution of the surgeries performed in Kenya
• At par with the rest of the world in terms of reconstructive surgery, aesthetic
surgery and research

• Initially the popular technique - inferior pedicle technique using the inverted T
incision
• Later, the superomedial pedicle with the vertical scar technique got popular
• Inferior pedicle technique is still being used for the large breasts. It’s reliable for
both its viability and retention of sensation.

  • 3. Historical definition • 1597, the Bolognese Gaspare Tagliacozzi (1545–1597), gave the following definition of our discipline: to “restore what Nature has given and chance has taken away. The main purpose of this procedure is not the restoration of the original beauty of the face, but rather the rehabilitation of the part in question”.
  • 4. The distant past and the wound as a problem • The ancient origin of plastic surgery relates to the healing of wounds. • Transform a defect that heals slowly by 2° intention into one healing quicker by 1° intention. • Used, fibers or strips of tendon for sewing, or pinned together using insect mandibles. • Bronze pins.
