Management of maxillary defects is among the most challenging and controversial areas head neck reconstruction. The authors develop a treatment algorithm based on outcomes following free flap reconstruction various defects.A review 246 reconstructions was performed.The authors' analysis demonstrated that palatoalveolar resection predicted use soft-tissue (n = 200) versus osteocutaneous 46) flaps, depending location extent defect. Whether orbital floor or entire contents were resected also...
Summary: The underrepresentation of women leaders in plastic surgery echoes a phenomenon throughout society. importance female leadership is presented, and barriers to gender equality surgery, both intrinsic extrinsic, are discussed. Strategies for fostering on an individual level the specialty presented.

Background: Fat transfer is an increasingly popular method for refining postmastectomy breast reconstructions. However, concern persists that fat may promote disease recurrence. Adipocytes are derived from adipose-derived stem cells and express adipocytokines can facilitate active cancer in laboratory models. The authors sought to evaluate the association between reconstructed recurrence patients diagnosed with local or regional invasive cancers. Methods: A multicenter, case-cohort study was...
The authors' goal was to develop an updated and comprehensive algorithm for skull base reconstruction based on data from the 10-year period following their initial report.Reconstructive outcomes were analyzed 250 patients undergoing 2000 2009.Thirty-nine local or regional pedicled flap reconstructions 211 free performed. Free flaps usually selected over with a history of prior surgery, irradiation, chemotherapy (p = 0.003, p < 0.001, 0.04, respectively). Reconstructions performed 36 region I...
Previous neurophysiological studies of the frontal eye field (FEF) in monkeys have focused on its role saccade target selection and gaze shift control. It has been argued that FEF neurons indicate locations behaviorally significant visual stimuli are not inherently sensitive to specific features per se. Here, for first time, we directly examined single cell responses simple, two-dimensional shapes found shape selectivity exists a substantial number cells during passive fixation task or...
Background: Refinements in microsurgical breast reconstruction have refined superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) and circumflex iliac (SCIA) flaps, yet technical difficulties varied success rates limit widespread acceptance. The authors present the outcomes of their experience with 145 consecutive SIEA/SCIA flaps suggest tips to improve this important flap. Methods: An institutional review board–approved retrospective chart all free performed by senior between January 1, 2006,...
Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: To evaluate reconstructive outcomes following oncologic temporal bone resection. Study Design: Retrospective review. Methods: Subjects consisted of 117 patients undergoing resection and reconstruction between 2000 2010. Reconstructive outcomes, including results facial nerve repair, were analyzed. Results: Reconstruction was performed with a regional flap in 27 microvascular free 90 patients. Operative time shorter for cases involving flaps compared to (6.9...
Most head and neck reconstructions are performed for wound closure or functional rehabilitation with aesthetic restoration being an important but secondary consideration.Contour deformities in 40 patients undergoing resections were reconstructed immediately adipofascial perforator flaps, including 37 anterolateral thigh 3 deep inferior epigastric flaps.Reconstructions could be grouped into 1 of defect areas: temporal fossa (n = 3), malar cheek 13), parotid-mastoid 24). The mean time needed...
Background: Successful free tissue transfer requires tension-free microvascular anastomosis. Vein grafts are used when this cannot be obtained, which increases microsurgical complexity and the chance of vessel thrombosis. Previous studies on vein limited to low numbers selected techniques, making it difficult draw conclusions. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for all patients who underwent in flap reconstruction from 1995 2015. Information patient characteristics, returns...
Background: Previous studies have provided recommendations for increasing female leadership in academic plastic surgery. This study quantifies the extent to which these been met surgery residency programs and identifies remaining institutional barriers advancement of women Methods: An electronic survey was designed quantify select promoting The distributed either a faculty member or male program director at each program. optional phone interview discussing current women’s followed survey....
Composite mandibular reconstruction requires multiple tissue components inset in different planes. Intrinsic chimeric flap design provides this, and may be best suited for these reconstructions.A retrospective review of mandible reconstructions with composite, intrinsic chimeric, or 2 free flaps was performed. Patient characteristics complications were analyzed.Seventy-five patients reviewed. Defects reconstructed had significantly more soft needs than composite reconstructions. However,...
<b>Background</b> Ablation of locally advanced or recurrent head and neck cancer often results in large composite orofacial defects with limited recipient vessels. These complex lend well to intrinsic chimeric flap reconstruction, which allows greater ability inset various component tissue types than flaps requires only one set microvascular anastomoses. <b>Methods</b> A retrospective chart review was performed on all patients who underwent reconstruction an free from 2002 2015. Flaps type,...
Introduction The objectives of this study were to identify factors associated with nonattendance follow-up in patients seen for traumatic hand and facial injuries at an urban Level 1 trauma center elucidate patient-reported reasons nonattendance. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed all our institution over a 2-year period. Demographic data, including race, insurance status, incomes based on zip code collected patients. Injury patterns, interventions, patient disposition...
Background: Recent surveys suggest 60% of plastic surgery (PRS) residents experience burnout. While some PRS residency programs have developed wellness to combat this, little is known about their structure and content. We sought describe these initiatives. Methods: An anonymous Qualtrics survey was sent 88 integrated programs. Respondents were program directors, associate officers. The focused on content, structure, funding, resident support. Results: Twenty-two (25%) responded. Fourteen...
Background: Access to female mentors in microsurgery is limited with 50% of surgeons reporting a lack such mentorship and only 8% those mentor connections occurring through societies1. The Women's Microsurgery Group (WMG) established formal program 2015 help address this need. We sought describe the demographics career interests participants from last year better understand how need being met identify opportunities for continued growth. Methods: De-identified data 2023 was analyzed mentee...
