Plastic and reconstructive surgery has an illustrious history of innovation. The advancement, if not the survival, of the specialty depends on the continual development and improvement of procedures, practices, and technologies. It follows that the safe adoption of innovation into clinical practice is also paramount. Traditionally, adoption has relied on the diffusion of new knowledge, which is a consistent but slow and passive process. The emerging field of dissemination and implementation science promises to expedite the spread and adoption of evidence-based interventions into clinical practice. The field is increasingly recognized as an important function of academia and is a growing priority for major health-related funding institutions. The authors discuss the contemporary challenges of the safe implementation and dissemination of new innovations in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and call on their colleagues to engage in this growing field of dissemination and implementation science.
整形外科学有着辉煌的创新历史。该专业的发展，甚至是生存，都取决于手术、实践和技术的不断发展和改进。因此，安全地将创新应用于临床实践也至关重要。传统上，采用新技术依赖于新知识的传播，这是一个持续但缓慢而被动的过程。传播和实施科学这一新兴领域有望加速循证干预措施在临床实践中的传播和采用。该领域越来越被认为是学术界的一项重要职能，也是主要与健康相关的资助机构日益关注的重点。作者讨论了在整形外科学中安全实施和传播新创新的当代挑战，并呼吁他们的同事参与这一不断发展的传播和实施科学领域。
