[Plastic surgery].

Not only by coincidence surgeons tend to qualify a patients stress by physical factors only. In plastic surgery the psychological situation of the patient very often is paramount, especially in surgery dealing with function of appearance. Sometimes the declared motives of the patient hide emotional disorders. Irrealistic expectations are confronted with results. The text aims at a short typology of physiological stress in plastic surgical patients and its somatic consequences.

[Results of replantations, organizational and financial problems (author's transl)].

After 363 replantations of fingers, thumbs, and hands with 87.9% successful revascularizations, conditions for optimal results and reasons for failure are discussed in terms of surgical management, organization, and costs. Several case studies document the importance of preoperative handling, the time span between accident and treatment, and the postoperative control of thrombosis. Finally, microsurgery is regarded as a first step toward a future routine technique in reconstructive surgery.

[Indications for plastic surgery (author's transl)].

The paper deals with the three main areas of indications for plastic surgery: 1. Reconstructive plastic surgery or treatment of defects resulting from trauma or disease. 2. Constructive plastic surgery or treatment of innate defects. 3. Anaplastic surgery or treatment of disfunction of appearance. By defining these different branches of plastic surgery criteria are elaborated that govern all plastic surgery. Differences between the general surgical approach and the plastic surgical approach are explained and emphasis is put on the patients' subjective situation and possible pressures from outside as well as environmental influences that may have bearing on the indication.
