not a particularly notable or important figure in our field. This wouldn't even be the person you think about for what is purported to be the operation they "pioneered" (microtia), who would be Burt Brent Droliver (talk) 18:53, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just to keep things in perspective, as someone who actually does this for a living, no one in our field would immediately thing of John Reinisch (or anyone else for that matter) when using a polyethylene implant for microtia repair. It's just not a particularly notable procedure, and outside Bert Brent no one is really well known for it. Furthermore the 1st attribution of microtia with this I can find in texts is actually to other surgeons, Wellisz T. Reconstruction of the burned external ear using a Medpor porous polyethylene pivoting helix framework. Plast Reconstr Surg. Apr 1993;91(5):811-8.
The take home message is that this is a VERY soft candidate for inclusion in context of notable contemporary surgeons Droliver (talk) 22:07, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
