Reconstructive and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
1700-KII2-CHIRPL-2
The aim of the course Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery is to familiarize students with issues in the field of plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. As part of the lectures and exercises, topics related to the structure and function of the skin, environmental factors affecting it (burns, frostbite and bedsores), types of wounds, methods of wound dressing, and the reconstruction ladder are presented. Students will learn the indications and contraindications for performing surgical procedures as well as minimally invasive medical procedures in the field of aesthetic surgery. Possible complications after the performed procedures are discussed. Some of the classes cover issues related to asepsis and antisepsis as well as infection prevention. Much attention is paid to the etiology and treatment of scars, as well as the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer. As part of the presentations prepared by students, topics related to, among others, with ethics in plastic surgery, hair transplants, special patients who can use cosmetology offices (pregnant patients, men), fillers, the use of botulinum toxin, methods of liposuction and lipotransfer, as well as lifting the face and eyebrows. Congenital defects are discussed separately - neurofibromatosis, cleft lip and/or palate, defects of the facial skull and chest,

Assessment criteria
The condition for passing the course is: attendance (absence from classes is the basis for failing the semester), positive grade given by the teacher (average of all grades obtained by the student during classes and activity during classes).
Final credit: graded credit on the basis of a written test. The test consists of 50 questions: test (single-choice answer, open questions) regarding knowledge acquired during lectures (up to 50% of questions) and exercises. For each correct closed answer, the student gets one point. For answers to open questions, the student can get the maximum number of points assigned to the question. To obtain a positive grade, it is necessary to obtain a minimum of 36 (60%) points.
The student may be excused from the exam if his grade point average (weighted average calculated from the grades for: activity [x1], tests [x3]) is at least 4.75.
Colloquia, written tests: pass with a grade on the basis of a test (multiple-choice closed questions) based on the knowledge acquired during the exercises.
In the case of written tests (tests on written tests, colloquia and exams), the points obtained are converted into grades according to the following scale:
Percentage points Rating
92-100% Very good
84-91% Good plus
76-83% Good
68-75% Sufficient plus
60-67% Satisfactory
0-59% Insufficient
Failure by the student to pass the exam is tantamount to receiving an unsatisfactory grade and the need to take a resit exam.
Final pass: ≥ 60% (W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W6, W7, U1, U2, U4)
Tests: ≥ 60% (W1, W3, W4, W5, W6, W7, U1, U2, U3, U4)
Reports/worksheets: ≥ 60% (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, U3, U5, U6, U7, U8, U9, U10)
