NEW YORK, July 1 (U. P)— Important technical advances in plastic surgery have been made since the World War, and many disfiguring injuries which could not then be patched up, now leave hardly a scar, Dr. Samuel Cohen, Philadelphia specialist, said tocpay. Often, Dr. Cohen said, injuries which once would have left unsightly marks may be repaired so perfectly that the patient actually presents a better appearance than before injury. “I ad the thought that our young men may ever have to go to war,” Dr. Cohen said, “but I can say that, if go they must, we are much better equipped to repair any injuries they may suffer than at any previous time.” The plastic surgeon, whose greatest interest is in nose reconstruction, was ¥nterviewed amid his exhibit of plaster masks and photographs, showing before-and-after views of patients. “The World War gave plastic sur-

gery its real impetus,” he said. “Soldiers who suffered disfiguring wounds demanded treatment, and they got it. Today several hundred plastic surgeons are certified in this country by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and the United States is the acknowledged leader in the field.” ; Dr. Vilary Blair of St. Louis, who was head of the Division of Plastic and Oral Surgery of the United States Army during and after the war, had much to do with advancing the technique, Dr. Cohen said.
developments which highly effective: - 1. The use of “canned cartilage,” or cartilage taken from one patient during a plastic operation, in repairing disfigurements of another. This cartilage, Dr. Cohen said, can now be kept for periods up to two years. It is stored in an alcoholantiseptic solution. 2. Elimination of the use of parafin in making repairs. Paraffin shifts, no matter how used, he said. 3. Development of better bonegrafting techniques, with the result that aluminum and silver plates are no longer used. These plates, it was said, often sloughed out. Now such repairs are made by taking bone from ribs or shins and grafting it into place. ‘The graft may be secured with gold pins, but otherwise no metal is used.
