   The Division of Orthopedics/ Plastic Surgery is a team that works closely with the Acute Pain Service and the surgeons to assure that the patient’s entire perioperative experience is pleasant. The division places patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction as its number one clinical priority. In addition, we place tremendous emphasis on teaching and research. The division is proud to have participated in the care of a patient who had both hands reattached in an 11 hour surgical procedure after an industrial accident. This case gained both national and international publicity, demonstrating the excellence of care provided here at Stony Brook University Hospital.

Our first year anesthesia resident traditionally staff the Orthopedic Surgery/Plastic Surgery rotation. This allows us to introduce early in our resident’s career the many different regional techniques available to provide both surgical and postoperative anesthesia and analagesia. In addition our patients vary in age, providing our service a diverse patient population often with challenging co-existing morbidities.
