Plastic Surgery has a long and distinguished reputation at Johns Hopkins Hospital. It began with John Staige Davis who was the first plastic surgeon to concentrate his entire career in the field of Plastic Surgery. He wrote the first Plastic Surgery textbook and served under William Halsted at Johns Hopkins Hospital. There were several intervening chiefs of plastic surgery who followed John Staige Davis and functioned as attendings on the General Surgery service. Under Alfred Blalock, Milton Edgerton established the Division of Plastic Surgery and the Johns Hopkins Plastic Surgery Training Program began. It was under his direction until 1971 when John Hoopes became the Chief of Plastic Surgery with the departure of Dr. Edgerton to the University of Virginia. In 1990 when Dr. Hoopes retired, Dr. Manson succeeded him as Chief of the Division of Plastic Surgery within the Department of Surgery in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
