As a
result of the scars suffered both physically and mentally by soldiers during
World War II, a new medical specialty was formed - Reconstructive Plastic
Surgery. John Converse, MD, came to New York University in 1947, when the
Division of Plastic Surgery was started. It was then that they began to create
the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery (IRPS), which focused on
interdisciplinary cooperation and rehabilitation and the social, psychological
and financial needs of the patient.
In 1951 Dr. Converse and Lawrence D.
Bell formed the Society for the Rehabilitation of the Facially Disfigured, now
known as the National Foundation for Facial Reconstruction. A pilot program was
started at the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital. As the Institute grew,
it needed to relocate to have the advantages of a major medical center. In
1957, plans were made to locate the Institute at NYU. A fund-raising campaign
was started with a goal of two million dollars. One million dollars was
contributed by what is now the Mellon Foundation and the other one million was
raised by the Society for the Rehabilitation of the Facially
Disfigured.
In 1961, NYU offered a plastic surgery residency and Bellevue
Hospital became part of the program. The new University Hospital opened in
1963, and the Institute officially opened. Dr. Converse was Director of the
Institute until his death in 1981, when Joseph G. McCarthy, MD, succeeded him.
By 1977 the division had grown to include 18 plastic surgeons and 50 other
physicians, consultants, and administrative personnel and 21,000 disfigured
patients had been treated. During 1992 alone, the Institute operated on 6328
patients. By the time the Institute reached its 40th birthday in 2003, it had
emerged as a leader in the relatively new field of Reconstructive Plastic
Surgery.
Return to the Table of Contents
This collection consists of the administrative
records of the Division of Plastic Surgery - Instititute of Reconstructive
Surgery. There are 19 record series. The records include letters, research
proposals, floor plans, newspaper articles and selected publications. The
records document the creation of all the services that are part of the
Institute, such as Hand Surgery, Microsurgery, and the Cleft Palate Center. The
records illustrate the function of courses and conferences in the academic
setting. One subseries, the Smithsonian exhibit, "The History of Plastic
Surgery" is of special interest. The exhibit was prompted by the efforts of Dr.
Converse and the office of Senator Jacob Javits. Another highlight of the
collection is the presence of heart-wrenching letters written by prospective
patients. One such subseries was the response to advice columnist Ann Landers'
column about Down's Syndrome, which mentioned the Institute. The subseries of
records regarding National Institutes of Health grants is also very
informative.
Restrictions: To view material less than 20 years old, please obtain written permission from the current director of the Institute for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery.
