Introduction Given recent efforts to legalize and decriminalize recreational marijuana, its use has become increasingly common in the plastic surgery patient population. Although cannabis generally been considered lower risk than of other substances, studies have suggested it may be associated with an increased surgical complication rate. The aims our study were (1) characterize extent (2) determine clinical effects cohort patients undergoing autologous breast reconstruction using deep...
Background Gender disparities in plastic surgery authorship have been previously described the literature. The relative citation ratio (RCR) index is a new metric that normalizes rates for field and time, which can be utilized to compare authors. This study aims evaluate differences gender reconstructive microsurgery (RM) papers, as well impact of on RCR index. Methods A PubMed query isolated RM studies between 2002 2020 across 3 highest PS journals. Author names information were collected...
