Background: Obesity is widely recognized as a significant risk factor for postoperative complications of breast reconstruction. Despite extensive research, there remains lack consensus regarding the specific and outcomes experienced by patients with obesity who undergo deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap To provide clearer understanding challenges faced obesity, we present single-center outcome analysis individuals underwent DIEP Methods: A cohort 194 at least 1 was...

Abstract Background. Currently, sexual orientation data is not collected, nor the language to study defined by any national cancer database. Due this limitation, little known about breast (BC) disparities in minority women (SMW) despite several studies showing increased lifestyle risk factors. Our objective was question All of Us Methods. We analyzed from research program, a open enrollment database that registers diverse subjects through associated healthcare electronic medical records and...

Abstract Background The driving force for many seeking plastic surgery is comfort in one's body. Along with come satisfaction, improved self-awareness, and potential change interoceptive awareness—a term defined as the conscious perception of Although bodily signals influenced by factors, sense self body image play significant roles. Studies show diminished awareness those negative image, but no research has assessed impact on awareness. Objectives purpose this study to investigate how...

Background: More than 65% of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) use arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) for hemodialysis. The increasing incidence comorbid ESRD and obesity (body mass index, >35 kg/m 2 ) precludes from kidney transplantation, resulting in a need long-term, durable AVF access. Compared traditional superficialization techniques overlying adiposity, liposuction is minimally invasive well-tolerated, allowing earlier fistula lower complications. We present the detailed...

Lymphatic leaks are a rare phenomenon, but can be troublesome and persistent problem, especially in an already debilitated patient. Historically, management of lymphorrhea has involved non- minimally-invasive techniques elevation, compression, aspiration, or drain placement, among others. Ligation sclerotherapy additional utilized techniques, directly targeting the lymphatic vessel. Microsurgical via lymphaticolymphatic lymphaticovenous anastomosis gained popularity amongst surgeons as...

Arterial thrombosis is a rare, but dreadful complication in microvascular surgery. Here we report on case of recurrent arterial latissimus dorsi (LD) free flap used for scalp reconstruction an 18-year-old woman who sustained gunshot wound (GSW) to the head. In immediate postoperative period, internal and external doppler signals were lost. Emergent surgical exploration revealed thrombosis, which was emergently explored successfully repaired. Doppler again lost second time. Following revision...
