Introduction: According to data from Perhimpunan Dokter Bedah Plastik Rekonstruksi dan Estetik Indonesia (PERAPI), there are only 193 plastic surgeons throughout Indonesia. There is no sufcient data that described pattern of incidence, workload, and role of Plastic Surgery in trauma cases at Indonesian Referral Center Hospital, especially in the Province of North Sumatra. Methods: This research is a descriptive study with a retrospective approach. Sample of this study was medical records of trauma patients who required Plastic Surgery who came to the H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan Emergency Room (1 January 2016-31 December 2018). This study used total sampling method. Results: This study involved 536 patients and 40.85% included in the adult age range. Men vs women ratio is 3:1 (405 vs 131). Based on type of injury, the most common injury is facial trauma, followed by burns and soft tissue injuries (291, 178 and 66). The most common etiology is trafc accidents (90 cases). Most of facial bone fractures located at mandibular bone (segmental fracture). Inhalation trauma due to burns only occurred in 6 cases (3.24%). Most of soft tissue injuries occurred at lower extremities (upper limbs). Conclusion: Trafc accidents are the most common etiology for trauma in Plastic Surgery. Most of the patients are men and included in the adult age range. Facial trauma is the most common injury in Plastic Surgery.
