Background: There is limited information about minority representation throughout the plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) pipeline. The aim of this study was to examine trends in among minorities at different stages PRS training pathway, starting with potential candidates high school through practicing physicians. Methods: pipeline defined as school; college; medical applicants, matriculants, graduates; residency active residents; Racial data for each stage were obtained from US Census...
PURPOSE: Wound dressing following reduction mammoplasty can be conducted using surface 2-Octyl cyanoacrylate (Dermabond; Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, N.J), but its effect on long-term wound healing in these patients is inconclusive. We present an updated review of Dermabond's safety and efficacy patients. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was 550 who underwent by a single surgeon between March 2015 February 2023. Demographic, operative time, postoperative complication data were collected from...
PURPOSE: Barbed sutures can quickly accomplish adequate wound closure after body contouring procedures. However, the effect of barbed suture on complication rates following reduction mammoplasty remains inconclusive. Our study analyzed suture's impact postoperative outcomes in a large patient cohort. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted 550 mammoplasties by single surgeon between March 2015 and February 2023. Data demographics complications were collected from records summarized...
Summary: This article discusses a novel approach to immediate nipple reconstruction during skin-sparing mastectomy with Wise-pattern design, common procedure in direct-to-implant breast reconstruction. Traditionally, is performed as second procedure, incurring additional costs and potential complications. technique involves simple modification the flap initial mastectomy, allowing for one-step The includes preoperative markings of U-shaped added at top angle create position. flap, containing...
<h3>Background</h3> Nearly 25% of people with major burn injuries in urban North American centers are experiencing homelessness at time injury. Education, a critical component for the prevention and cold injuries, must be delivered along-side passive active fire weather protection, especially populations living unhoused. Prevention education that is written plain language, depicted relatable ways, consumer tested, low health literacy, increases material's acceptability, understandability...
A retrospective study. The Markowitz-Manson classification system categorizes nasoorbitoethmoid (NOE) fractures by severity of injury and remaining integrity the medial canthal tendon. However, this does not account for direction bony displacement (in-fracture vs out-fracture), which can greatly affect symptomatology management. We hypothesize that NOE will present differently based upon their severity: Type I injuries are likely to with nasal bone (in-fracture), whereas III be more prone...
Predictors for permanent nipple-areolar complex (NAC) insensitivity after reduction mammaplasty are sparsely defined. We analyzed factors associated with NAC over long-term follow-up. A retrospective analysis of mammaplasties on 1598 breasts performed by 4 surgeons from March 2015 to February 2023 was conducted. Data patient demographics, intraoperative factors, and postoperative complications were collected records. Analysis conducted breast, separated into (permanent transient) those...
PURPOSE: Plastic surgery involvement in complex locoregional closure of back wounds following spine has increased significantly within recent decades. Muscle flap closure, as opposed to traditional layer-by-layer approximation, been shown decrease rates wound complications such seroma, infection, and dehiscence. However, the impact use barbed suture on operative time, surgical cost, patient outcome for remains unknown. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted all patients who...
PURPOSE: Nasoorbitoethmoid (NOE) fractures are commonly categorized by the Markowitz-Manson classification system, which grades severity of injury degree comminution and involvement medial canthal tendon. However, this system does not account for directionality bony injury, may impact clinical findings. We propose these be conceived as either in-fractured, resulting in nasal airway obstruction, or out-fractured, traumatic telecanthus. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted all...

Introduction: Respiratory infections can occur through the transmission of virus-containing aerosols from infected individuals. It remains unclear whether cardiac arrest (CA) resuscitation generates that have potential to transmit diseases including COVID-19. Hypothesis: In a swine CA model, chest compression and defibrillation generate (≤10 μm) could contain respiratory viruses. Methods: To simulate witnessed with bystander-initiated CPR, 3 female non-intubated underwent 4 minutes untreated...
PURPOSE: Deformity of the digital web space is commonly encountered and can be congenital or acquired. Its correction requires an understanding normal anatomy, which poorly understood, understudied. The challenge to re-create a in appearance function are equally difficult. purpose this study introduce previously unreported ligamentous structures space. METHODS: Forty spaces were microsurgically dissected twenty cadaveric hands. Select H&E, Trichrome Elastin stains obtained. Anatomic...
