Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: Hot Topics, Controversies, and New Directions.

abstract：:The purpose of this article is to introduce plastic surgeons to a theory of adult education. Most surgeons have been hired by their parent institution because of their clinical skills, and rightly so. At the same time, these same surgeons choose or are expected to be involved to varying degrees in the surgical educati...
