Abstract Background Developed originally as a tool for resident self-evaluation, the Plastic Surgery Inservice Training Examination (PSITE) has become standardized adopted by residency programs. The introduction of large language models (LLMs), such ChatGPT (OpenAI, San Francisco, CA), demonstrated potential to help propel field Surgery. Objectives authors this study wanted assess whether or not could be utilized in education assessing its accuracy on PSITE. Methods Questions were obtained...
Aim The authors sought to analyze lip dimensions of Vogue magazine cover models in order quantify trends over time. As a secondary objective, the aimed characterize relationship these plastic surgery. Methods Three hundred seventy-four covers from January 1980 September 2023 were analyzed, excluding with multiple people, profile views, and poor image quality. Two researchers measured upper lip, lower peak thicknesses, chin length, face interpupillary distance. Ratios total thickness,...
Objectives/Hypothesis To investigate the risk factors for refusal of recommended surgery in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treatment Study Design Retrospective review a national database. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results database was queried all cases HNSCC from 1989 to 2014. Patients who underwent (N = 98,270) were identified compared patients refused 3,582). Groups patient demographics, socioeconomic variables, tumor characteristics including stage, grade,...
The global COVID-19 pandemic reshaped many components of modern health care practice. Before the pandemic, research was beginning to demonstrate impact self-facing cameras, selfie images, and webcams on patient interest in head neck (H&N) aesthetic surgery. We sought determine temporal changes surgery H&N as compared with rest body because COVID-19, subsequent surge Web-conferencing telecommunication. 2020 Plastic Surgery Trends Report produced by American Society Surgeons used identify 5...
Abstract Background Systemic corticosteroids negatively impact wound healing, potentially increasing postoperative complication rates. In this study, the authors utilize American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement (NSQIP) database to investigate chronic steroid usage on complications following microvascular free tissue transfer procedures. Methods The ACS NSQIP was queried for all flap procedures performed between 2005 and 2016. Patients with a history use ( n =...
The accurate assessment of physician academic productivity is paramount and frequently included in decisions for promotion tenure. Current metrics such as h-index have been criticized being biased toward older researchers misleading. relative citation ratio (RCR) a newer metric that has demonstrated within other surgical subspecialties to be superior means measuring productivity. We sought demonstrate RCR valid assessing among plastic surgeons, determine demographic factors are associated...
Regional anesthesia (RA) may help to circumvent the well-documented risks associated with general anesthesia, increase patient comfort and satisfaction, mitigate costs. This study aims investigate utility of RA in extremity reconstruction. The American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for all cases reconstruction including muscle, myocutaneous, or fasciocutaneous flaps from 2005 2016. Two groups were created based on technique,...
Abstract The existence of the “July effect,” or idea that new academic year intrinsically has an increased complication rate is evaluated in microsurgical free tissue transfer procedures. National Surgical Quality Improvement Program registry was queried for all flap procedures performed between 2005 and 2016 (n = 3405). Cases were grouped as having occurred first quarter (Q1: July 1–September 30) fourth (Q4: April 1–June 30). Demographical data complications compared using univariate χ 2...
