A Legacy of Leadership and Innovation: The Origin and Evolution of Plastic Surgery at Mayo Clinic
Presented by Samyd S. Bustons, M.D., resident in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester
In the early 20th century, surgeons at Mayo Clinic confronted complex recon-structive challenges that extended beyond traditional surgical boundaries. Working within the Section of Laryngology, Oral and Plastic Surgery, pioneers such as Dr. Gordon B. New, Dr. Frederick A. Figi, and Dr. John B. Erich helped shape the development of plastic surgery. Mayo Clinic became one of the earliest institutions to recognize plastic surgery as a distinct specialty.
This lecture will explore the origins and evolution of plastic surgery at Mayo Clinic and its lasting influence on modern reconstructive care.
