Description
Reconstructive surgery is a term with training, clinical, and reimbursement implications. It has historically been referred to as synonymous with plastic surgery.Macionis V. Definition of plastic surgery: A historical perspective. Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery. 2017;70:132-133. In regard to training, Plastic Surgery is a recognized medical specialty and a surgeon can be a “board-certified” plastic surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.WEB,www.plasticsurgery.org/for-medical-professionals/publications/plastic-surgery-clinical-privileges?sub=Certification, Certification | Plastic Surgery Clinical Privileges, However, reconstructive surgery is not a specialty and there are no board-certified reconstructive surgeons.More accurately, reconstructive surgery should be contrasted with cosmetic surgery. Reconstructive surgery is performed to- Improve/restore to normal function.
- Restore to a normal appearance of “abnormal” or “malformed” body parts caused by the disease or condition and/or
- Improve the patient’s quality of life.WEB,med.noridianmedicare.com/web/jfa/policies/coverage-articles/cosmetic-vs-reconstructive, Cosmetic vs Reconstructive Surgery - JF Part A - Noridian,

Use of implants and biomaterials
Recent literature in medline also has noted implementation of barbed suture in these procedures.JOURNAL, Hammond DC, Barbed sutures in plastic surgery: a personal experience, Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 33, 3 Suppl, 32Sâ9S, 10.1177/1090820X13499578, 24084877, 2013, free, Biomaterials are, in their simplest form, plastic implants used to correct or replace damaged body parts. Biomaterials were not used for reconstructive purposes until after World War II due to the new and improved technology and the tremendous need for the correction of damaged body parts that could replace transplantation. The process involves scientific and medical research to ensure that the biomaterials are biocompatible and that they can assume the mechanical and functioning roles of the components they are replacing.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}}A successful implantation can best be achieved by a team that understands not only the anatomical, physiological, biochemical, and pathological aspects of the problem, but also comprehends bioengineering. Cellular and tissue engineering is crucial to know for reconstructive procedures.Sarah Al-Himdani, et al. JOURNAL, Tissue-Engineered Solutions in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Principles and Practice, 2017, 4, 4, 10.3389/fsurg.2017.00004, 5322281, 28280722, Al-Himdani, Sarah, Jessop, Zita M., Al-Sabah, Ayesha, Combellack, Emman, Ibrahim, Amel, Doak, Shareen H., Hart, Andrew M., Archer, Charles W., Thornton, Catherine A., Whitaker, Iain S., Frontiers in Surgery, 4, free, An overview of the standardization and control of biomedical devices has recently been gathered by D. G. Singleton. Papers have covered in depth the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Premarket Approval Process (J. L. Ely) and FDA regulations governing Class III devices. Two papers have described how the National Institute of Standards and Technology, American Dental Association, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, and private dental companies have collaborated in a number of important advances in dental materials, devices, and analytical systems.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}}References
