Breast prosthesis infections are challenging and traditionally managed with removal delayed reconstruction. Single-application negative pressure wound therapy instillation dwell (NPWTi-d) has shown promise for salvaging infected implants, though prior studies have been small heterogeneous. This study analyzes outcomes compares protocols from four institutions. Data were collected on 56 patients (59 breasts) who underwent NPWTi-d salvage peri-prosthetic infections. Patients fewer than 3...
Background: Microsurgery is a core component of United States (US) plastic surgery residency curriculum. This study compares publicly available information on microsurgery curricula and training among US programs, while evaluating the background experience microsurgeon faculty at these institutions. Methods: The authors performed cross-sectional web-search search 103 accredited programs in March 2023. Publicly evaluated for each program included non-clinical education, clinical microsurgical...
Emerging data suggest an association between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and the development of myocarditis, with children older adults being most at risk. We describe clinical course a previously healthy 12-year-old female who rapidly deteriorated into cardiogenic shock arrest due to disease 2019 induced fulminant necessitating venous-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as bridge full recovery. This case highlights importance early recognition myocardial...
Background: Direct-to-implant (DTI) reconstruction has multiple advantages over a staged tissue expander (TE) approach. However, its use may be limited by concerns of increased complications. This study is the largest series to date comparing postoperative outcomes for DTI versus TE in prepectoral plane. Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed 348 patients that received 536 total immediate, implant-based breast reconstructions between January 2018 and December 2021. compared presence...
Residents need to acquire an understanding of the biopsychosocial aspects caring for older adults with chronic illness, along effective use interdisciplinary services inside and outside hospital.We expanded geriatric medicine experience second-year internal residents present results first year's experience.We paired a mandatory rotation postgraduate year-2 (2 weeks day 1 week night inpatient in Acute Care Elders Unit), 1-week outpatient systems-based practice online modules readings....
Background Increased representation from both women and non-White ethnicities remains a topic of discussion in plastic surgery. Speakers at academic conferences are form visual diversity within the field. This study determined current demographic landscape aesthetic surgery evaluated whether underrepresented populations receive equal opportunities to be invited speakers The Aesthetic Society meetings. Methods Invited speaker's names, roles, allotted time for presentation were extracted 2017...
PURPOSE: In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the awareness and demand of gender transition surgery. Surgical often occurs specialized centers due to involvement multidisciplinary team. Thus, residents may have limited clinical experience seek out fellowships. This study aims assess formation characteristics gender-affirming surgical fellowships United States. METHOD: A cross-sectional was performed on all institutions with an accredited plastic surgery residency program...
Background: Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema (BCRL) affects up to 40% of women with breast cancer that undergo Axillary Lymph Node Dissection (ALND). Lymphatic Microsurgical Preventative Healing Approach (LYMPHA) performed at the time ALND has yielded promising reductions in rates BCRL. This study aims evaluate combined effect LYMPHA and Implant-Based Reconstruction (IBBR) on incidence BCRL our institution. Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis consecutive patients...
Background: Microsurgery has become an important core component of United States (US) plastic surgery resident curriculum. Nonetheless, studies have noted significant variation in the microsurgical simulation and skills lab-based education that residents receive across training programs. This study compares publicly available microsurgery curricula clinical exposure among US residency programs, along with experience current practice microsurgeon faculty at these institutions. Methods: The...
The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is a predominant technique for autologous breast reconstruction. However, the best method of abdominal fascial closure in this not well defined. This study details our initial experience with unidirectional barbed suture-only repair donor site fascia.
PURPOSE: Lymphatic Microsurgical Preventative Healing Approach (LYMPHA) is performed at the time of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) reducing rate lymphedema (LE). It often with immediate Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction (IBBR). We aimed to determine whether additional LYMPHA procedure impacts surgical outcomes IBBR. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study included breast cancer patients undergoing Mastectomy IBBR (with and without ALND (April 2021 -May 2023). Complications recorded...
Mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection, and irradiation for breast cancer commonly result in perivascular scarring. This scarring is thought to cause functional venous stenosis that leads downstream hypertension the affected extremity. Standard surgical practice decompress at time of physiologic lymphedema surgery patients with cancer-related (BCRL). However, it unknown whether this scar release influences outcomes. The purpose study was evaluate prevalence BCRL determine decompression a...
PURPOSE: Advancements in mastectomy technique, acellular dermal matrix, and fat grafting have led to a resurgence of prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction. While direct-to-implant (DTI) reconstruction has multiple advantages over staged tissue expander (TE) approach, its use may be limited due concerns increased complication rates. This study is among the first compare postoperative outcomes for DTI versus TE plane. METHODS: A retrospective review cases from three plastic surgeons...
