Dr Richard Hamilton, who was involved in both the research and surgery at the time, is correcting history by acknowledging the ground-breaking work done in Australia and Sweden, particularly by Dr Ingemar Fogdestam.
Following an article in Australasian Journal of Plastic Surgery on The Free Abdominoplasty Flap in Breast Reconstruction – The Untold Story, Dr Hamilton recently had it made into a film which he presented to the College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Meeting in Melbourne, where it was greeted with acclaim.
The story has since been taken up quite a lot, including:
- The New Zealand Association of Plastic Surgeons Meeting
- The Swedish Plastic Meeting in southern Sweden
- The International ISAPS Plastic Meeting in Vienna
- The Australian ASAPS Meeting
- The American Society of Plastic Surgeons ASPS
