Abstract
Outcome documentation and course observation of plastic surgical interventions are described often circumstantially; however, in addition to the backup of photos and in functional reconstructions with movies, these interventions can be documented comprehensively. For decades already reconstructive surgeons rely on photography as a means for documentation of patients, assessment of results, teaching, and publications. Nowadays, with the evolution of digital depiction many tasks in storage, post-processing, and visualization are made much easier, thus standardization is a requisite for academic research [1] and to obtain informed consent from patients. Usually patients show preference to the use of non-identifiable photographs, as long as they serve for medical documentation, teaching or presentations on meetings, and congresses, whereas they do less accept distribution of pictures on the Internet [2, 3]. Therefore, also a written consent, containing the detailed purposes of taking photographs should be obtained from all patients before any photography.
