Edit request: historical antecedent, independent case series, and training survey

Latest comment: 1 day ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Rib remodeling. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 532 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

I would like to propose three short, sourced additions for independent review. I am deliberately not editing the article myself per WP:COI.

1. Historical antecedent (History/Background): "An earlier approach to narrowing the waist without rib removal — using small incisions at the scapular line and an oscillating saw, without imaging guidance — was described by Kazbek Kudzaev and Igor Kraiushkin in 2021." Source: Kudzaev KU, Kraiushkin IA. "Waist Narrowing without Removal of Ribs". Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open. 2021;9(7):e3680. doi:10.1097/GOX.0000000000003680. PMID 34262840. Rationale: the article currently presents the 2023 ultrasound-guided technique without its documented antecedent; adding it improves completeness and neutrality.

2. Independent case series (Safety and evidence): "In 2025, a surgical team independent of the technique's creator published a series of 220 rib remodeling cases." Source: doi:10.1097/GOX.0000000000006595 (PRS Global Open, 2025). Rationale: independent replication is relevant, neutral information about the technique's adoption and evidence base.

3. Training standardization (Safety and evidence): "A 2026 multicenter survey of rib remodeling techniques included only surgeons trained in a standardized course with certification." Source: Aguilar HA, Hoyos AE, et al. "Global Survey on Rib Remodeling Techniques: Assessing Complications and Trends Among Plastic Surgeons". PRS Global Open. 2026;14(4):e7609. doi:10.1097/GOX.0000000000007609. PMC 13075910. (Methods: "patient records from surgeons who had no experience with rib remodeling were excluded (specifically those not trained in a standardized course with certification)"). Rationale: the source is from an author group independent of the technique's creator and describes how training is structured in this field.

Could an independent editor review these and add them (with any adjustments) if appropriate? Thank you. BAZANJUANPA (talk) 04:15, 14 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
