As Medicaid continues to expand, it remains unclear if reimbursement rates for cleft care are keeping up with the national economy. The purpose of this study is determine how financial trends in lip and palate repair reimbursements compare annual changes U.S. Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes were retrospectively reviewed between 2018 2023. Reimbursements adjusted inflation 2023 dollars using physician fee schedules. Annual percentage inflation-adjusted reimbursements, Compounded...
Background: Craniosynostosis requires early diagnosis and intervention to mitigate the risks of impaired cranial growth; however, patients with Medicaid face treatment delays for craniosynostosis care. reimbursement rates have failed match inflation rate in medicine, remaining relatively static many surgical fields. This study investigates longitudinal impact economic on Methods: Using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes operations craniosynostosis, authors analyzed from 2013 2023,...
Same-day discharge after mastectomy is a recently described treatment approach. Limited data exist investigating whether same-day can be successfully implemented in patients undergoing with immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBR).Patients having IBR from 2013 to 2019 were reviewed. Enhanced recovery was 2017. Patient characteristics, oncologic treatments, surgical techniques, and 90-day postoperative complications reoperations analyzed comparing enhanced historical controls.A...
Abstract Background and Objectives Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) for ER+ breast cancer can downstage primary tumors. We evaluated NET efficacy in node‐positive patients. Methods Node‐positive patients undergoing from 2012 to 2019 were reviewed. Primary endpoints included rates of axillary lymphadenectomy (ALND), pathologic complete response (pCR), final nodal staging. Results Thirty‐nine included. Before NET, all clinically (cN1 = 36, 94%; cN2 2, 5%; cN3 1, 3%; Stage II 23, 59%, III...
Summary: Vascularized omentum lymphatic transplant is frequently used for the treatment of lymphedema due to demonstrated efficacy, a reduced complication profile, and, in particular, negligible risk donor site lymphedema. Historically harvested by open laparotomy, more recent techniques involve laparoscopic omental harvest. Although effective and reproducible, laparoscopy may be limited visualization, minimal tactile feedback, multiple port sites, imprecise instrumentation. Therefore, we...
<h3>Importance</h3> The lack of racial, ethnic, and gender diversity in medicine has been recognized as problematic, but the question what medical educators societies are doing to rectify promote representation historically marginalized groups persists. <h3>Objective</h3> To examine easily accessible resources offered by surgical support women individuals minority that underrepresented (URiM). <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This cross-sectional study evaluated transparent on webpages...
Background: There is limited research on the impact of revisional surgery after breast reconstruction patient experience and postoperative quality life (QoL). Methods: Patients undergoing mastectomy with immediate implant-based or autologous free-flap from 2008 to 2020 were reviewed. These patients categorized by revisions (0–1, 2–3, 4+) surveyed QoL metrics using BREAST-Q Was It Worth It? (WIWI) questionnaires. QoL, satisfaction, WIWI between revision groups evaluated. Results: Among 252...
Abstract Background Novel secondary flap options are paramount for patients who not candidates common reconstructive methods. The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence single arterial pedicle supplying both gracilis muscle and medial thigh tissue carried in a profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap. Such could allow creation chimeric PAP with single-arterial anastomosis. Methods We conducted retrospective review 157 lower extremity computed tomography (CT) angiograms assess...
INTRODUCTION: As multidisciplinary treatment modalities for rectal cancer continue to evolve, neoadjuvant chemoradiation then surgical resection is a common approach. Robotic-assisted abdominoperineal becoming more prevalent in part because of better visualization and instrument mobility within the pelvis. After resection, postoperative perineal wound complications remain significant risk. Pelvic reconstruction lowers this risk, pedicled rectus abdominis muscle flap frequently used achieve...
Background The purpose of this study is to evaluate how prior breast augmentation impacts rates complications and risk for reoperation after mastectomy with concurrent reconstruction. Methods Patients undergoing nipple-sparing, skin-sparing, or simple implant-based reconstruction from 2008 2018 were identified in a prospective database. Postoperative reoperations then analyzed comparing patients without history previous surgery. Results A total 468 median follow-up 4 years. Of these, 72 had...
Recent data show that aesthetic surgery research is lagging compared with reconstructive surgery: funding and institutional disparities within are potential factors in this trend.The authors sought to determine if exist based on sources or practice settings.The reviewed Aesthetic Surgery Journal articles from 2009 2019. Chi-square, t test, bivariate, multivariate regression analyses were employed evaluate trends.A total of 2262 publications identified, 318 funded meeting inclusion criteria....
Abstract Background A chimerically configured gracilis and profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap is highly prevalent based on recent computed tomography (CT)-imaging data. The purpose of this study to further characterize the vascular anatomy novel configuration determine feasibility dissection. Methods To arterial anatomy, lower extremity CT angiograms performed from 2011 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. venous harvest, extremities cadavers evaluated. Results total 974 32 included for...
The Raman gain coefficient for nonplanar pump wave is calculated. dependence wavefront reproducing Stokes conversion and an injected plane on the beam quality derived. amount of injection required to generate a output discussed. A comparison given homogeneity requirement laser medium as reflected in cases with without near diffraction limited output. results indicate that appropriate injection, can be relaxed.
