Assessing the Availability and Need for Microsurgery-Trained Reconstructive Surgeons in Sub-Saharan Africa

Microsurgery is an essential component of plastic and reconstructive surgery, yet access remains limited in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The College of Surgeons of East, Central, and Southern Africa (COSECSA) region has identified a shortage of microsurgeons due to limited formal training, infrastructure needs, and resource constraints. This study aimed to assess the current microsurgical landscape in the COSECSA region, identifying key barriers and opportunities for training and practice development.

Prioritising research of importance to patients and health-care professionals improves evidence-based care. This prioritisation setting partnership was undertaken in global burn care (focusing on thermal non-electrical burns) by establishing a James Lind Alliance research priority setting partnership.
