description | Summary:. Since 1998, vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) has been a growing area of research in the field of reconstructive surgery. Although conditions treated with VCA often result from a traumatic injury, there has been limited emphasis on incorporating trauma-informed care (TIC) models in VCA. Considering the importance of psychosocial well-being in VCA candidates and recipients, applying best practices in TIC to the face, upper extremity, and penile transplantation may be critical in minimizing retraumatization throughout the perioperative process. There are six main principles of TIC: safety; trustworthiness and transparency; peer support; collaboration and mutuality; empowerment and choice; and cultural, historical, and gender issues, which may be further incorporated in care for VCA patients. Evaluating for PTSD and incorporating TIC may have substantial benefit to postoperative outcomes. |
