The purpose of this Web-based survey was to elucidate the current perspectives plastic surgery residency program directors on training residents perform gender-affirming surgery.Web-based surveys were distributed 79 directors. Demographic information and in queried.Of surveys, there 43 responses (54 percent). Overall, reported that their trainees prepared address surgery-related transgender concerns (67 percent), believe surgeons are most appropriate specialty referral for each type...
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) involves repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep. Patients with cleft palate (CP) are at higher risk for OSA due to craniofacial anatomical differences. We aimed characterize the prevalence and identify factors in patients CP. Methods retrospectively reviewed CP over a 20-year period. Our primary outcome was diagnosis confirmed by polysomnography. Data extracted included patient demographics, congenital syndromes, Pierre Robin...
Background: Relatively few reports have been published investigating the operative management of pediatric zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures. The purpose this study was to assess fracture and associated complications, potentially describe a standard treatment paradigm for these cases. Methods: A retrospective cohort review performed all patients younger than 15 years presenting single institution with fractures from 1990 2010. Patient demographics, concomitant injuries, details,...
Currently, there is a paucity of information on the presentation and proper management pediatric nasoorbitoethmoid fractures. The purpose this study was to examine incidence, cause, associated injuries, these Furthermore, authors sought assess outcomes after transnasal wiring or suture canthopexy for type III fractures.A retrospective cohort review performed all patients with fractures who presented Level I trauma center from 1990 2010. Charts computed tomographic imaging were reviewed,...
Background: Autologous cartilage grafts have a low risk of infection and extrusion in cleft rhinoplasty. However, harvesting autologous involves donor-site morbidity increased time under anesthesia. Irradiated homologous costal may be an effective alternative. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on patients with history lip who underwent rhinoplasty for nasal deformity at Johns Hopkins Hospital from 2009 to 2018. Patients were excluded if their did not involve graft. Results: One...
Abstract Background The utilization of social media is growing among academic and private practice plastic surgeons. Objectives aim this study was to determine training backgrounds board certification medical professionals through the use surgery-related hashtags on a single platform, Instagram. Methods Instagram queried with 15 surgery–related hashtags. Only top 50 posts each hashtag were analyzed at time point international accounts excluded. Data collected included account owner, degree,...
Background: Breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) has entered the spotlight, as several high-profile media outlets have begun to relay evolving science public. This study aimed gauge baseline knowledge and concern regarding BIA-ALCL among adult laywomen within United States. Methods: Mechanical Turk was used survey 500 American women on self-reported demographics, prior experience with breast implants, 11 questions their BIA-ALCL. Responses were reviewed for...
Background Tissue expansion has been widely used to reconstruct soft tissue defects following burn injuries in pediatric patients, allowing for satisfactory cosmetic and functional outcomes. Factors impacting the success of expander (TE)-based reconstruction these patients are poorly understood. Herein, we aim determine risk factors postoperative complications TE-based patients. Methods A retrospective review who underwent TE placement from 2006 2019 was performed. Primary outcomes were...
Background As the second cycle impacted by COVID-19, 2022 Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS) Match maintained virtual interviews while offering a modest lift of subinternship restrictions. The residency application process continues to evolve, with changes such as pass/fail United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 reporting prompting programs reconsider metrics applicant success. It is critical address impact board scores, mentorship, resource availability on diverse...
Background Surgical intervention has established a vital role in the management of chronic headaches. The lesser occipital nerve (LON) is common target patients suffering from neuralgia and often resected as first-line option. We endeavored to define relationships LON posterolateral neck facilitate its safe rapid intraoperative identification. Methods Seven fresh cadavers (14 nerves) were dissected, their mastoid prominence nearby spinal accessory (SAN) greater auricular noted. Results...
Mandibular condyle fractures are common following facial trauma and carry an increased risk for concomitant blunt carotid artery injuries. Further elucidation of this relationship may improve vascular injury screening management.A retrospective cohort study was performed all patients sustaining condylar presenting to a large center over twelve years. Fracture locations were classified according the Strasbourg Osteosynthesis Research Group (1, head; 2, neck; 3, extracapsular base). Carotid...
Tissue expansion is a powerful tool in reconstruction of pediatric soft-tissue pathologies, but complication rates children have been reported to be as high 40%. Infection and implant extrusion lead premature removal delays reconstruction. Expanding the head neck uniquely challenging because confluence facial aesthetic units must respected. These challenges prompted senior author (R.J.R.) create an unit-based algorithm. A retrospective study patients who underwent cervicofacial tissue...
Purpose: For decades, there has been an ongoing debate about the ideal timing of orbital fracture repair (OFR) in adults. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review patients who underwent OFR at two centers (2015-2019). Excluded were <18 years old and those with follow-up <2 weeks. Our primary outcome was incidence/persistence postoperative enophthalmos/diplopia least 2 weeks following OFR. The association between surgical ocular complications assessed extraocular muscle (EOM)...
Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) printing and augmented reality (AR) have expanded anatomical modeling possibilities for caregiver craniosynostosis education. The purpose of this study is to characterize preferences regarding these visual models determine the impact on understanding craniosynostosis.The authors constructed 3D-printed AR models, which were randomly presented a cross-sectional survey. Caregivers rated each model's utility learning about craniosynostosis, skull...
Background: Patients undergoing cranial expansion including spring-mediated cranioplasty (SMC) and vault remodeling (CVR) receive costly high acuity post-operative intensive care (ICU) given concerns over neurologic hemodynamic vulnerability. The authors analyzed perioperative events for patients presenting with sagittal craniosynostosis (CS) SMC CVR in order to compare complication profiles. Methods: performed a single center retrospective cohort study of the treatment nonsyndromic,...
Background: Mandibular body fractures can cause severe and long-term morbidity in the pediatric population. Nonetheless, there is insufficient data on treatment management of this specific fracture type children. This study aimed to investigate etiology, treatment, outcomes mandibular by analyzing our institution's experience managing these uncommon injuries Methods: was a 30-year retrospective, longitudinal cohort patients presenting single institution with isolated, unilateral, fractures....
Background: The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with the decision perform open reduction and internal fixation mandibular condylar fractures. Methods: This a retrospective cohort patients fractures managed by plastic reconstructive surgery, oral maxillofacial otorhinolaryngology services over 15-year period. Bivariate associations multiple logistic regression model were computed for injury characteristics that fixation. For all analyses, value p ≤ 0.05 considered...
