Willie Vicarage, the First Man to Receive Radical Reconstruction Via the "Tubed Pedicule" technique: Willie Vicarage, who was suffering from facial wounds that he sustained in the Battle of Jutland in 1916, was one of the first men to receive facial reconstruction using plastic surgery.Antibiotics had not yet been invented, meaning it was very hard to graft tissue from one part of the body to another because infection often developed. But while treating Vicarage, Dr. Gillies invented the tubed pedicle." This used a flap of skin from the chest or forehead and swung it into place over the face.The flap remained attached but was stitched into a tube. This kept the original blood supply intact and dramatically reduced the infection rate. -
