What is burn surgery?There are two main categories of burn surgery: acute and reconstructive. Acute burn care occurs immediately after the injury. Complex burns often require consultation with plastic surgeons, who assist with the inpatient and outpatient management of these cases.

Some patients may need reconstructive burn surgery after the initial burn wounds have healed. This type of care is usually provided by a plastic surgeon. The goals of reconstructive burn surgery are to improve ...

A pilonidal cyst (pilonidal sinus) is a cyst that develops along the tailbone (coccyx) near the cleft of the buttocks. These cysts usually contain hair and skin debri.

In response to this ingrown hair, a local inflammatory reaction causes a cyst to form around the hair.In addition to male gender, other risk factors for the development of pilonidal cysts include a family history of pilonidal cysts, occupations which require ...

Migraine headaches are a neurological disease that frequently have a wide range of symptoms, the most common being a headache. Surgery for migraine headaches was first discovered by a Cleveland plastic surgeon, who noticed that patients were reporting migraine relief after undergoing cosmetic brow-lift surgery. Research later showed that release of the supraorbital nerve, which is commonly done during brow-lift surgery, was the reason for this improvement.Since that discovery, we now know of several other nerves that can trigger migraines headaches. The migraine treatment is based on the theory that migraine headaches arise due to inflammation of some nerve branches ...
