Abstract Keeping abreast of current developments is increasingly challenging when the volume of specialty articles being published is rising exponentially, and it is most acute when surgical specialties overlap, as in the case of head, neck, and facial reconstructive surgery. Here, the potential for...

Description
Summary:Abstract Keeping abreast of current developments is increasingly challenging when the volume of specialty articles being published is rising exponentially, and it is most acute when surgical specialties overlap, as in the case of head, neck, and facial reconstructive surgery. Here, the potential for missing key developments presents a compelling case for a summary article that highlights articles likely to be of mutual relevance. We evaluated 129 original studies and 6 reviews published in the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery between September 2012 and August 2014, and summarised the main papers of interest and merit under the subheadings of head and neck reconstruction, cleft lip and palate, craniomaxillofacial surgery, facial palsy, facial trauma, and aesthetic surgery. Most of the evidence presented (86%) is level 4.
