Course overview and objectIves

The symposium will be an excellent opportunity to learn and teach about the treatment of traumatic scars from a variety of perspectives. Recent advances in laser technology and treatment techniques have made this an exciting time to practice in this area, and patients are experiencing unprecedented functional and cosmetic improvements. We plan to have presentations from a variety of luminaries in the field, but practical demonstrations will also form a large part of the agenda. Ultimately, we would like to provide key personnel from military centers across the country and across all services with knowledge and practical training in the treatment of traumatic scars. However, participants will include experts from a variety of disciplines in both the military and civilian arena. Through sharing experiences and ideas in a relatively intimate environment, we hope to further advance our techniques, cooperation, and research in this area.

After completion of symposium, participants will be able to: 1. Discuss new treatment paradigms with lasers and embrace emerging technologies such as noninvasive treatment 2. Discuss the development of new surgical treatment of individuals suffering with severe bodily disfigurement as a result of traumatic injuries

Matthias Donelan, M.D., F.A.C.S. A career in academic plastic surgery has provided an ideal environment for my talents, my professional interests, and the achievement of life defining goals. I am extremely fortunate that the complicated process of medical school education and surgical training resulted in a romance with the specialty of plastic surgery. Personal preference and good fortune have allowed me to devote a major portion of my career to the care and reconstructive surgery of children who have sustained severe burn injuries, as well as those born with congenital abnormalities. I have spent the past 32 years continuously working in the field of pediatric burn care and burn reconstruction at the Shriners Burns Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. This has given me a unique opportunity as a pediatric plastic surgeon to develop an expertise in the reconstruction of the entire range of deformities which occur in patients following burn injuries. My major interests have always been clinical and my practice has presented excellent opportunities for clinical research, including outcome studies, the development of new procedures, and incorporating technological innovations. I have been involved in teaching in our own surgical and plastic surgical training programs, as well as teaching medical students. I have been a frequent at meetings on a national and international level. My expertise has resulted in the description of numerous innovative surgical techniques which have enhanced the care of burn patients. In addition to frequent presentations at national meetings and publications in reviewed scientific journals, I have written definitive chapters in the major plastic surgery textbooks regarding burn reconstruction. These include chapters on “Reconstruction of the Burned Hand and Upper Extremity”, “Reconstruction of the Head and Neck,” “Reconstruction of Facial Burn Deformities”, and “The Principles of Burn Reconstruction” in the most widely read plastic surgical textbooks. I am honored to be recognized as an authority in these important and complex areas of human function. During my career, I have been fortunate to have had many opportunities to teach and lecture locally, nationally, and internationally. This has resulted in many plastic surgical residents, Fellows, and plastic surgeons from around the country and around the world spending time with us at the Boston Shriners Burns Hospital and at the Massachusetts General Hospital. In addition to my main area of interest and expertise, I have practiced a full range of plastic surgery. This includes the treatment of cancer, reconstruction after trauma and surgical complications, innovations in the use of lasers in the reconstructive environment, as well as cosmetic surgery. I have been privileged to participate in the Massachusetts General Hospital and Combined Harvard Plastic Surgical Training Programs. Teaching contributions primarily include relationships with residents in both the clinical and operating room environment on a daily basis, as well as formal rounds and other academic activities. I have had a remarkably interesting and rewarding career to this point. I plan to continue working primarily in the area of pediatric burn reconstruction for the remainder of my career with a primary interest in the incorporation of light-based therapies to minimize the need for ablative surgery and enhance our patient outcomes with minimal morbidity.
