This study highlights a higher prevalence of PRS in the Maltese population compared with global estimates, indicating a unique epidemiological profile specific to the Maltese Islands. The findings provide valuable insights for plastic surgeons and health care professionals involved in the management of PRS patients. Further research is needed to explore the underlying factors contributing to this increased prevalence and to optimize treatment strategies for PRS patients in the Maltese Islands.
