Background: NovoSorb® Biodegradable Temporising Matrix (BTM) is a synthetic dermal template recently approved for treatment of full thickness defects of the skin. It requires a two-stage reconstruction where it is initially placed into a defect to generate a neodermis, which is later covered by a split skin graft. It has previously been described for the treatment of acute full thickness burn injury, necrotizing fasciitis and free flap donor site reconstruction.Methods: A consecutive case series...

‘This is a Saint Patrick's Day like no other’ declared the Irish Prime Minster on March 17th 2020, whilst announcing sweeping social restrictions in a response to the worsening COVID-19 pandemic. This nationwide lockdown involved major restrictions on work, travel and public gatherings and signified the government's shift from the suppression to the mitigation phase of the outbreak. The national COVID-19 Task Force produced a policy specifying the redeployment of heath care workers to essential services...

The global health pandemic with COVID-19 has hugely impacted the international health community causing significant disruption to routine clinical practices as well as teaching and training. The speed and scale of viral spread have overwhelmed health services across the globe and has required diversion of all clinical resources to save lives and protect health care workers. Redeployment of trainees into medical specialities has virtually halted their training within chosen subspecialties.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in cancellation of postgraduate courses and the vast majority of elective surgery. Plastic surgery trainees and their trainers have therefore needed to pursue alternative means of training. In the face of cross-speciality cover and redeployment there is an additional demand for COVID-19 specific education. The Joint Committee on Surgical Training (JCST) Quality Indicators for Higher Surgical Training (HST) in Plastic Surgery state that trainees should have at least...

Botulinum toxin is a treatment whose effectiveness has been widely demonstrated in the treatment of facial wrinkles. Its use in alopecia has been much less studied in literature. Therefore, we carried out a systematic review of the literature in December 2019 in order to index published cases of alopecia patients treated with botulinum toxin. Pub Med, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were explored. 6 studies, including 94 patients were selected. Only one study was prospectively controlled against...
