From the Battlefield to the Operating Theater
From the Battlefield to the Operating Theater: How Plastic Surgery Emerged from the Great Wars
Pravin K. Patel. MD FACS
2:30pm-3:30pm
Free with RSVP
Behind every breakthrough in plastic surgery lies a story. This lecture brings to life the extraordinary cast of characters who turned the chaos of war into the dawn of modern reconstructive plastic surgery. Set against the backdrop of the Great Wars, the "theater" took on many meanings: a battlefield of destruction, an operating theater of innovation, and a dramatic stage where courage, compassion, and creativity played leading roles. From visionary surgeons to the wounded soldiers who became both patients and pioneers, we explore how these real-life actors transformed suffering into science, and laid the foundation for a field that continues to restore form, function—and humanity.
