Prevention of nosocomial coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection for patients undergoing flap-based reconstructive surgery is crucial to providing care and maintaining operative volume income support plastic programs. We conducted this study (1) determine the postoperative incidence COVID-19 among flap reconstruction from December 1, November 2020 (2) compare 30-day outcomes between who underwent before during early pandemic. an 11-month retrospective cohort all across our institution....
Prepectoral breast reconstruction promises to minimize animation deformity and decrease pain associated with subpectoral dissection tissue expansion. This latter benefit is particularly timely given the ongoing opioid epidemic; however, this theoretical remains be demonstrated clinically. As such, study aimed compare inpatient use prescription practices following prepectoral expander-based reconstruction. A retrospective review was performed of patients undergoing immediate expander...
In 2018, the Northeastern Society of Plastic Surgeons first Women in Surgery was established, reflecting national trend to address gender gap between men and women surgery. Conferences, such as annual NESPS, are important opportunities increase visibility female role models resources deterrents surgical careers. We thus sought examine participation NESPS over last decade.Abstracts programs from regional conferences 2013 2019 were accessed via publicly available past meetings archives,...

This study aimed gauge baseline knowledge concern regarding BIA-ALCL among adult laywomen within United States. Additionally, we sought understand influence of variables including previous exposure breast implants for both cosmetic reconstructive purposes source information on these...
Medicaid beneficiaries systematically face challenges in accessing healthcare, especially with regard to specialty services like reconstructive surgery. This study evaluated the impact of 2 healthcare reform policies, expansion and global hospital budgeting, on utilization surgery by patients.Utilization patients New Jersey (Medicaid expansion/no budget), Maryland expansion/with budgets), Florida (no budget) between 2012 2016 was compared using quasi-experimental, interrupted time-series...

Social media is a common, multi-purpose tool used by most hospitals to engage broad audience. The relationship between hospital social activity and performance on influential reputation patient experience ratings not well described. aim of this study was characterize across the top 100 revenue grossing U.S. its impact key rankings. While nearly all have presence media, usage following significantly varied. metrics collected showed some limited association with experience-influenced
PURPOSE: Head and neck cancer (HNCA) reconstruction is increasingly centralized at high-volume hospitals. However, a significant patient population receives surgical care low-volume centers, Medicaid patients comprise disproportionate fraction of this population. Furthermore, experience higher complications after number high-risk surgeries. Thus, we analyzed trends in HNCA to evaluate the effects hospital volume insurance status on rate post-operative complications. METHODS: With data from...
BACKGROUND: As cranial vault reconstruction for craniosynostosis is associated with significant blood loss and transfusions, managing intraoperative postoperative hematologic status a challenge both plastic surgeons anesthesiologists. Factors contributing to these challenges include young patient age low total volume (TBV), as well the difficulty of quantifying estimated (EBL) in real time. However, optimizing transfusion management cases critical: products are independently an increased...
