A Survey of the Challenges Faced by On-Call Physicians in the Plastic Surgery Department at Mohammed VI University Hospital, Marrakech

Abstract: Plastic surgery is a transversal specialty that covers several areas. Training is long and demanding. The resident undergoes an extensive curriculum through several training phases. The first difficulties encountered are during on-call duties and are both theoretical and practical in nature. Through this article, we aimed to shed light on these difficulties, which prompted us to conduct a survey that highlighted the main challenges faced — such as knowing how to indicate and perform blepharorrhaphy in a burn patient, knowing how to indicate and carry out early excision-grafting, and correcting hydro-electrolyte disorders.
