Review
Applying the principles of evidence-based medicine has the potential to drastically improve quality of care and patient outcomes. For this reason, evidence-based medicine has been held as one of the 15 most important developments in medicine within the past 100 years. In August of 2010, a broad coalition of leaders from numerous organizations representing societies, boards, journals, foundations, and academic institutions met in Colorado Springs, Colorado, for the first Evidence-Based Plastic Surgery Summit. The summit signaled a sea change in the approach of organized plastic surgery to the promotion of evidence-based medicine within the specialty. It was determined that a strategic, coordinated, and sustained effort to drive an evidence-based medicine culture would accelerate adoption and advance quality of care and patient safety. Over the past 2 years, many of the goals of the initial summit have been met. In order to take our evidence-based medicine efforts to the next level, a second summit was recently held to redefine goals, focus efforts, address barriers, and launch new initiatives with broad consensus. This article documents the outcomes of the second Evidence-Based Plastic Surgery Summit.

Surgeons use eponymous instruments daily, yet the stories behind these instruments are often lost in history. The authors have selected eponymous instruments commonly used in plastic surgery and provide a brief biography of the surgeons who invented them. This list represents more than two centuries of surgical history, and the physicians come from a number of disciplines, including general surgery, plastic surgery, ophthalmic surgery, and rural medicine. Remembering the life stories of surgeon inventors enriches our understanding of the history of our profession and allows us to appreciate our instruments instead of taking them for granted.
