THE NEED
Worldwide, 50 million surgical patients experience complications annually, resulting in re-operations, readmissions, and increased healthcare costs. In reconstructive surgery, complication rates are between 10-30%, and the need for skilled surgeons is rising as the patient population ages. Current training methods are outdated and time-consuming, leading to preventable complications.
THE SOLUTION
PlastSurgeon.com provides surgeons with a digital “pocket guide” featuring validated surgical cases, step-by-step procedure videos, quizzes, and decision support. The platform is developed by leading surgeons from Denmark, Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland, ensuring up-to-date and evidence-based content. Already generating 5,000 monthly views globally, it enables surgeons to prepare, train, and perform procedures more effectively, reducing complication rates and improving patient care.
