Abstract

Plastic surgery embodies the importance of a scientific specialty requiring an artistic nature to result in excellent cosmetic and functional outcome for patients. As such, the importance of early diagnosis, with expeditious referral and treatment to centers of excellence is mandatory. Plastic surgical emergencies can be managed in general hospitals, but the level of expertise is not as great as that in centers of excellence, and hence urgent plastic surgical opinion should always be sought in such clinical cases.
