Abstract
Introduction Humanized care in plastic surgery has become increasingly rare, potentially leading to patient dissatisfaction and future problems, especially when personality disorders are not identified before the procedure. Media integration and developments in plastic surgery highlight the significance of a multidisciplinary approach to improve patient outcomes and experience.
Objective To review recent studies on the impact of the humanized multidisciplinary team in plastic surgery, to discuss the contributions of each specialty, and to assess the efficacy of the humanized hexagonal protocol, highlighting its benefits in the clinical practice.
Materials and Methods We performed a literature review in academic databases such as PubMed, the Brazilian Journal of Plastic Surgery (Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, RBCP, in Portuguese), Scopus, and Google Scholar. We selected articles published between 2019 and 2024 addressing the significance of the multidisciplinary team in plastic surgery, focusing on clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. The inclusion criteria were articles in English reporting clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Discussion The collaboration across specialties, such as psychology, nutrition, cardiology, endocrinology, and anesthesiology results in a holistic and personalized approach that improves clinical outcomes, reduces complications, and promotes better recovery. Integrating these specialties enables a comprehensive evaluation of the patient, reducing the likelihood of dissatisfaction and litigation.
Conclusion The adoption of a humanized multidisciplinary team, especially through the humanized hexagonal protocol, results in significant improvements in clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and reduced litigation. This holistic approach provides more comprehensive and safer care, benefiting patients and health professionals.
