...surgery in the last decade until it became within reach in Morocco. At first, plastic surgery for esthetic purpose shouldn’t be confused with the reconstructive surgery that is used to get rid of serious imperfections caused by an accident or a birth defect. In our research paper, we are dealing with the plastic surgery also called cosmetic surgery. One of the team members’ relative who is surgeon has told her about a Moroccan woman who died because of a liposuction. Chocked by this story, we decided to learn more about the cosmetic surgery in Morocco which has lately raised many ethical issues. We believe that plastic surgery is unethical because it is against the Islamic principles and because it causes psychological and physical harm. We are trying to find out the opinion of Moroccans about it and we suppose that Moroccan people believe that plastic surgery is unethical and that they are aware of its danger. Competent plastic surgeons, reasonable prices, medical technology and infrastructure explain the rise of plastic surgery in Morocco. According to Salaheddine Slaoui, a specialist in cosmetic and reparative surgery, “the number of plastic surgeries had also doubled in the last decade. About 80 plastic surgeons -- working in both private and public clinics -- are operating in the country, mostly in Rabat and the economic capital Casablanca” (2011). However, plastic surgery has raised many ethical issues including...

Analysis of a Research Report Paper The article I chose was from the Annals of Surgery, called Multivariate Analysis of Risk Factors for Death Following Gastric Bypass for Treatment. I chose this article, because I did have this surgery done with no complications, and it is also a fascinating procedure and hope to one day work in this area. Pre operative mortality is the most feared outcome of bariatric surgery, it is reported to happen between 0.5 ad 1.5% of patients. In this article it identifies mortality fore either open or laparoscopic Roux-en-y bypass. The database is from Virginia Commonwealth university and was queried for patients who had undergone either an open gastric bypass (O-GBP) or a laparoscopic gastric bypass (L-GBP). A multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify factors related to perioperative mortality was performed. The factors examined included was age, gender, body mass index, preoperative weight, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, sleep apnea, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, venous 3. Analysis of a Research Report Article stasis ulcers, intestinal leak, small bowel obstruction, and pulmonary embolus. The data was found to find independent factors related to early death. Early death was defined as death that occurs within 30 days of the initial procedure or as a direct result of a complication of the original procedure (Annals...

...of the Surgeon and the Operating Room Abstract The art of surgery has evolved significantly from the times of shaman priests in ancient Egypt and bloodletting barbers of Medieval Europe. This evolution was assisted by the development of new tools that were created as the result of some advancement in technology. These new instruments permitted the surgeons of their day to unlock new possibilities and develop new techniques, each more sophisticated than the one before. Due to the sensitive nature of surgery, moral and ethical obligations were established early on and eventually formed the basis of “The Hippocratic Oath”, which is still relevant to the modern surgeon. We are now in a place in history where robots are being used to assist with surgical procedures that were once only conceivably done by human hands. This paper seeks to detail this evolution as well as describe current and future applications of robotics in the surgery and the ethical implications inherit with this technology. This report will also attempt to identify and discuss the complex legal, political, and cultural issues that have also evolved with this science. A review of the literature was undertaken using Medline. Articles describing the history and development of surgical robots were identified as were articles reporting data on applications. This most recent development in surgical advancement has infinite potential but it is also accompanied by same ethical dilemmas that ancient surgeons were faced...

...May 18, 2014 ARTICLE REVIEW In this paper, I summarize the article and offer comments about selected aspects, identify some information in the article, and suggest areas where additional research findings would assist in the understanding the current state of medical care in regard to the issues raised. Article Summary In March 2014, the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) released an article where they inform the reader about the relationship between the ‘selfie’ trend and the increase demand for facial plastic surgery. Methodology Behind The Study For this study the AAFPRS studied a “select group of the organization’s 2,700 members to uncover the latest trends in facial plastic surgery.” Findings “The study revealed that one in three facial plastic surgeons surveyes saw an increase in requests for procedures due to patients being more self aware of looks in social media.” The members that completed the survey stated that they noted an increase of 10% during 2013 when compared to 2012 of patients getting rhinoplasty; a 7% increase in hair transplant and a 6% increase in eyelid surgery. It was also reported by the surgeons that they saw an increase in patients under the age of 30 getting procedures done. Critical Reflections It is not a surprise that social media will increase the workload for cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons. The ‘selfie’ trend keeps increasing among teens and young...
