The chief drawback is the slowness of the process. A case may require a dozen operations before its discharge, for these things cannot be done in a single step. The anaesthesia and prevention of infection are of special importance. Much of the early War work was hampered by infection and lack of equipment. In plastic surgery flaps of skin and tissue are frequently moved from one part of the body to take the place...
