Background The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is considered the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction. Less commonly used abdominal flaps include superficial artery (SIEA) and circumflex iliac (SCIA) which are based on vasculature of wall. We sought to compare complication rates between DIEP system their associated risk factors. Methods A retrospective chart review 400 cancer patients undergoing abdominally-based free reconstruction with either a or from January...
Accurate and efficient medical coding is essential for proper reimbursement health care management. Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, derived from operative notes, standardize billing but are often prone to variability errors due the complexity of surgical procedures. With advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), tools like ChatGPT other large language models (LLMs) being explored their potential automate tasks. This study evaluates ability LLMs generate accurate CPT codes...
Study Design: Retrospective Cohort. Objective: To determine if outcomes varied between patients based on physical therapy (PT) attendance after lumbar fusion surgery. Summary of Background Data: The literature has been mixed regarding the efficacy postoperative PT to improve disability and back pain, as measured by patient-reported outcome measures. Given prevalence referrals lack high-quality evidence, there is a need for additional studies investigating surgery aid in developing robust...
Retrospective cohort study. The purpose of this study is to determine which demographic, surgical, and radiographic preoperative characteristics are most associated with the need for subsequent fusion after decompression lumbar spinal surgery. There a relatively high rate repeat or an index procedure degenerative spine disease. Nevertheless, there dearth literature identifying risk factors following Patients 18 years older receiving primary surgery within levels L3-S1 between 2011 2020 were...
Retrospective cohort study.
Study Design: This study adopted a retrospective design.Purpose: Our aimed to investigate the impact of central canal stenosis severity on surgical outcomes and lumbar sagittal correction after decompression.Overview Literature: Studies have evaluated in patients with decompression association worse preoperative alignment. However, none spinal correction.Methods: Patients undergoing posterior (PLD) ≤4 levels were divided into severe non-severe groups based Lee magnetic resonance imaging...
