The aim of this study was to compare the use pedicled local (PFs) versus random pattern flaps (RpFs) in foot and ankle reconstruction patients with chronic, nonhealing wounds.
This study examined whether attachment theory could be used to shed light on the often high degree of discordance between self- and observer ratings behavioral functioning symptomatology. Interview-based assessments organization, using Adult Attachment Interview, were as predictors lack agreement other reports emotional problems among 176 moderately at-risk adolescents. Lack was measured in terms concordance adolescent parent or close friend report equivalent measures adjustment....
Background: BREAST-Q captures quality of life implications breast reconstruction but may draw influence from the patients’ psychosocial circumstances. This study aims to test: 1) positive affect is associated with higher satisfaction and well-being, 2) socioeconomic status (SES) impacts this relationship. Methods: prospective included patients August 2020 October 2022. Cantril Ladder Happiness (CLH) assessed happiness (1-5: unhappy, 6-10: happy). was sent preoperatively one, three, six, 12...
Wound care centres offer opportunities to assess and compare treatment strategies experiences across different sites through clinical research, with the ultimate goal of optimising patient care. However, recruitment eligible participants is critical successful timely study completion. In this article, authors describe implementation a patient-initiated approach patient-reported outcome measure research in hard-to-heal (chronic) lower extremity wounds. The uses quick-response (QR) codes...
Background Some surgeons use body mass index criteria within the patient selection processes before vaginoplasty, thereby limiting access to select obese patients. We sought better characterize effect of obesity on postoperative outcomes across multiple vaginoplasty techniques. Methods A single-center retrospective review all transfeminine patients undergoing primary procedures from December 2018 July 2022 was conducted. Patients were stratified into cohorts according World Health...
Background: As the global population ages, we can expect increases in cancer incidence older individuals. Treatment patterns for triple-negative breast (TNBC) vary by age group, where individuals (≥70 years) receive standard of care [(SOC): i.e., chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery] less often than their younger counterparts. Deciding to recommend these treatments over 80 years be challenging without evidence-based guidance. Thus, aimed investigate relevance patient and oncologic factors...
Background Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are frequently employed in immediate prosthesis-based breast reconstruction (iPBR) to provide structural support. Despite differences ADM derivatives, few studies directly compare their outcomes the setting of iPBR. We sought conduct a large head-to-head study comparing 3 ADMs used across our institution. Methods A multicenter retrospective review patients undergoing iPBR with SurgiMend PRS (fetal bovine–derived; Integra Lifesciences, Princeton,...
Background: Reconstructive surgery has experienced a paradigm shift in favor of free flaps. Yet, local flaps may be particular use foot and ankle reconstruction among comorbid patient populations. Thus, we sought to better characterize long-term outcomes this setting. Methods: A single-center, retrospective cohort study patients undergoing muscle fasciocutaneous the from January 2010-November 2022 was performed. Flap were performed on wounds measuring 3x6cm or smaller, flap selection...
Background Operative microscopes are traditionally draped in single-use plastic to prevent infection theoretically. The necessity of this routine breast free flap surgery is unclear. Alternatively, sterile wrapping microscope handles would reduce operating room waste and provide a more cost-effective environmentally sustainable approach sterility. This study aimed determine whether the draping technique used during abdominally based flaps (Ab-FF) influenced rate surgical site infections....
Patients with complex lower extremity (LE) wounds and single-vessel LE runoff (1-VRO) are often considered for amputation. While more challenging, free tissue transfer (FTT) is a means limb salvage. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of salvage FTT in patients 1-VRO.
