andom choice of cases, watched by the jury members.The jury members are three lecturers from Plastic Surgeryand two lecturers from any other of the close specialtieslike ENT, Paediatric Surgery, etc.The first specialty exam for Plastic, Reconstructiveand Aesthetic Surgery took place in 1965.Training centers are allowed to conduct this exam onbehalf of the Ministry of Health. Diplomas are awardedafter successful examination. Any specialist with thisdiploma is entitled to have a practice, either in one of theofficial institutions or in the private sector. The publicstill looks at Plastic Surgery as Aesthetic Surgery. That iswhy this field is highly popular.Nowadays, we have 53 training centers all over the country,in University and State Hospitals. There are around 900Plastic Surgeons and nearly 300 residents for a 75-millionpopulation. Unfortunately, some Plastic Surgeons are notmembers of the Society. There are “Hand MiocrosurgeryCenters” in the large cities, mostly in the private sector andin University Hospitals.There are “Burn Units” in differentcenters, but not enough for the country.We owe thanks to Cemil Topuzlu, Cafer Tayyar Kankat,Halit Ziya Konuralp and Cihat Borçbakan who werethe leading Surgeons in the development of the ModernTurkish Plastic Surgery.Cemil Topuzlu1866 – 1958Halit Ziya Konuralp1903 –2005Cafer Tayyar Kankat1895 – 1955Cihat Borçbakan1912 – 1991The distribution of Plastic Surgeons is, unfortunately, notideal in the country; they mostly try to stay in big cities.In our field, the number of the Plastic Surgeons in Turkeywill be another problem in the near future.References:1.

A history of the British Association of Plastic,Reconstructive and Aesthetic SurgeonsPreviously: The British Association of Plastic SurgeonsThe First MeetingThe inaugural meeting of the British Association of PlasticSurgeons was held at the Royal College of Surgeons ofEngland on 20 November 1946. It was chaired by SirAlfred Webb-Johnson (later Lord Webb-Johnson), whowas then the President of the Royal College of Surgeonsof England.The next day, the Association’s first President, Sir HaroldGillies, wrote the very first letter in the name of theBritish Association of Plastic Surgeons, to Sir AlfredWebb-Johnson:Dear AlfredI cannot let this opportunity go without putting onpaper the very deep appreciation of your mostlykindly and helpful intervention last night. Yourhandling of the inaugural meeting, your help to meand to others in the later discussions were superb,and I can assure you and the Council of the Collegethat our little association was happily started. Wenow also feel that the Royal College is our homeand that the President and his team are our friends.We trust that we shall be worthy members of thissurgical family.HDGBAPS had the objectives of relieving sickness andprotecting and preserving public health by the promotionand development of Plastic Surgery. The Associationalso undertook to advance education in all aspects ofPlastic Surgery.The need for Plastic SurgeryA Plastic Surgery Planning Committee chaired byProfessor T Pomfret Kilner, and whose other memberswere Sir Harold Gillies, Mr Wilfred Hynes, Mr ArchibaldH McIndoe and Mr Rainsford Mowlem, had in fact meton five previous occasions before the inaugural meeting.They had found that the specialised war time units,which were especially equipped for treating injuries ofthe face and jaw, burns and soft tissues losses, had givenfacilities for treatment and research greatly in advanceof those available in peace time. They also identifiedcivilian needs, such as some 700 cases of cleft lip andpalate each year, industrial injuries and many patients forreconstruction and repair after surgery for cancer.They noted that facilities in London and in the provinces(Stoke-on-Trent, Manchester and Birmingham) had beenoverwhelmed, and that even in November 1946 “the mostrecently established centre at Sheffield, with 40 beds, hadonly been open for five months, but already had a waitinglist of 70 cases and is compelled to refuse admission todeserving cases from surrounding towns”.The Committee was of the opinion that Plastic Surgeryunits should be based in general teaching hospitals andthat they would function best in association with otherdepartments, but retain their own individuality, withdedicated wards, operating theatres and offices, andwherever possible they should also support research.The First PresidentsThe inaugural committee had faced a difficulty as towho to put forward as the first President of the BritishAssociation. The two main contenders were Sir HaroldGillies, and Professor Kilner, (who was the holder of theonly chair in Plastic Surgery in the United Kingdom). Theinitial committee vote split, half for Professor Kilner andhalf for Sir Harold. A compromise solution of having twopresidents was rejected by both, and Archibald McIndoewas definite in his advice that Sir Harold Gillies shouldbe put forward, and this prevailed.Sir Harold was President from 1946-47, Professor Kilnerfollowed in 1947-48 (and was elected President again in1955), and they were succeeded in 1949 by ArchibaldMcIndoe.Harold Delf GilliesHarold Gillies was born in New Zealand in 1882, theyoungest of eight children. His father died when he was4 and he was sent to boarding school in England at theage of 8. Four years later he returned to school in NewZealand, and in 1901 came back to Gonville and CaiusCollege, Cambridge. He played the violin, developeda love of fly-fishing, he rode and played golf (reachingthe semi-finals of the amateur golf championship at StAndrews).He graduated from St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London,becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in1910 and he became assistant to Sir Milsom Rees, thesenior ENT surgeon at St Bartholomew’s. When warbroke out in 1914, Gillies, then 32, volunteered to servewith the Red Cross and was sent to France as a GeneralSurgeon in 1915. He was closely associated with CharlesAuguste Valadier and Varaztad H Kazanjian, whoIssue 7 www.ipras.org <strong>IPRAS</strong> Journal 77
