Plastic surgery effect
It is striking that the violence has played such an important role in the development of plastic surgery. The introduction of the general and local anesthesia techniques and antisepsis and asepsis in the mid-19th century were larger and sustained operations as possible. This benefited enormously plastic surgery. Under antisepsis we mean a wound or surgery in which the germs present be rigorously addressed and slain with disinfectants. In an aseptic processing are numerous measures (gloves, sterile surgery instruments and clothing) that contact with these germs drastically reduced or prevented.
War Surgeons
This severely mutilated soldiers allowed the surgeons for total war new problems, which then not owned solutions. The restoration of the face made a return of the soldier to the trench or the civil society possible again. Without a recovery even this is not possible anymore. For this reason, this form of reparative or restorative surgery as a “social surgery” mentioned. Behind the front lines was desperately looking for a solution to this complicated facial mutilations. The combination of general surgical knowledge with dental or ear, nose and throat experience proved of great utility, since usually upper and lower jaw, nose, eye sockets and sinuses were involved in the accident.

Cases Of Diabetic Gastric Surgery Operated For Over A Year
The Taiwanese doctors presented at a press conference the positive results of therapy in 60 cases of diabetic gastric surgery operated for over a year.
“Diabetes is really a gastrointestinal disease, resulting from problems with the gastrointestinal hormones that influence insulin production, so it can be treated with gastric surgery,” said a spokesman for the doctors, Li Wei-jie.
In an experiment with 60 patients, average age 45 years, found that one year after gastric bypass surgery, 93.3 percent had a normal blood sugar level and in the case of gastric narrowing, the proportion was 46.7 percent.
Researchers at the Taiwan Normal University said that with current therapies, exercise and medication, a year, only 30 percent of patients achieved a normal level of sugar.
“The success of gastric surgery to control diabetes is unclear, but it takes a longer-term follow-up to prove that the result holds,” said Li.
One third of patients had symptoms of anemia and osteoporosis after gastric surgery, while the risk of gastric perforations is less than one percent, said the Taiwanese doctor.
Bypass surgery and gastric narrowing side effect is thinning of the patients, so it is necessary for prior review in order to avoid putting too thin, said Li.
The traditional treatment of diabetes is an appropriate plan of diet and weight control, physical activity plan and medication (if needed).
