Recurrence of Spider Angiomas After Laser Treatment | dermatology.jwatch.org

Discount cosmetic surgery is already here, but not via large commercial companies.  Retention of actual plastic and reconstructive surgeons may be difficult if they are not paying well.  There is a place for this, however the solo practitioner will continue to have word of mouth and a place.

For wounds, it is going to happen

Home telemonitoring works, study claims | www.healthcareitnews.com

In the Plastic Surgery literature wound care via home monitoring is advanced enough to change outcomes.  See Murphy, Bain et al in the Annals of Plastic Surgery June 2005. Home telemonitoring is good for certain problems, that require regular monitoring.  It has been shown to be equivalent to physical exam if a standard database is used and likely to reduce costs.  There are now CPT codes for it and eventually they will be paid.

ISTA takes the lead in topical NSAID therapy

February 14, 2007

ISTA Pharmaceuticals Announces Positive Preliminary Xibrom Once-daily Formulation Clinical Results From U.S. Phase III Trials | pharmalive.com

There has been a sea change in the treatment of postoperative cataract patients. The addition of a nonsteroidal has significantly reduced postoperative complications such as edema, discomfort and inflammation.

Compliance with all medications is always an issue, and the use of a once daily medication potentially makes this a non-issue. I have been impressed with the BID Xibrom and my patients in the phase 3 trial did exceptionally well.

I expect that this will be well received, pending acceptance of formularies.
