Two-staged implant-based reconstruction (IBR) is the most common breast reconstructive modality. Recently, technological and surgical advances have encouraged surgeons to revisit prepectoral IBR. Data comparing against subpectoral IBR in women under age of 40 are lacking.Retrospective chart review patients years old, who underwent immediate 2-staged at our institution, was performed. Patient's demographics, clinical characteristics, operative details, early outcomes were compared. with...
Summary: Advances in surgical instruments, magnification technology, perforator dissection techniques, and vascular imaging over the past decades have facilitated exponential growth field of microsurgery. With wide application potential including but not limited to limb salvage, breast reconstruction, lymphedema treatment, sex affirmation surgery, microsurgery represents a critical skill set that powerfully augments reconstructive armamentarium plastic surgeons. Accordingly, microsurgical...
The nationwide focus on patient safety and the health of residents has increased demand for educational tools outside operating room. Simulation is a valuable tool assessing developing surgical skills in controlled safe environment. use simulation as formal component training been increasing various subspecialties. In general surgery, examinations such Fundamentals Laparoscopic Surgery Endoscopic have become prerequisite to board certification. Although plastic surgery are not universal,...
Background: Discovering alternatives to workhorse flaps that have more consistent anatomy and lower donor-site morbidity has become a focus of reconstructive surgery research. This study provides simplified approach profunda artery perforator flap design harvest based on reliable anatomical landmarks. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted 70 patients who underwent 83 reconstructions for postoncologic defects from 2016 2018. The authors recorded analyzed the sizes clinical...
Background: Prepectoral implant-based reconstruction reemerged as a viable approach following recent advances in reconstructive techniques and technology. To achieve successful outcomes, careful patient selection is critical. Obesity increases the risk of complications has been suggested relative contraindication for prepectoral breast reconstruction. Methods: Retrospective chart review patients who underwent immediate two-stage at authors’ institution was performed. Only women having body...
Background: Several materials are available for cranioplasty reconstruction and consensus regarding the ideal material is lacking. The goal of this study to present surgical patient-reported outcomes with PEEK versus Titanium alloplastic cranioplasty. Methods: A retrospective review all patients who underwent or from 2010 2017 was conducted. Patient demographics complications were abstracted analyzed. Information collected through a telephone survey. Results: total 72 (median age 55 years)...
Summary: Training in aesthetic surgery is a core element plastic residency program. Nevertheless, the past, many studies have shown lack of resident confidence procedures upon graduation. In recent years, number efforts been made to address this concern, including increasing required case requirements and integration clinics increase exposure independence aspect training. Numerous conducted evaluate efficacy these resident-run substantiated their value as an important educational tool...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic originated in Wuhan, China, December of before spreading worldwide the following months.1,2 virus is especially contagious, and any large gathering or close contact between individuals highly discouraged. This has created certain strains on current model resident education.3 Our institution pioneered four strategies for maintaining high-quality education while adhering to recommendations from Centers Disease Control Prevention: (1) daily...
Background: Even before seeing a physician, patients must first gain access to the hospital system. At large hospitals with high patient volumes, specialty care can pose particular challenge. This study examines effects of specific initiatives increase clinic capacity, appointment use, and ease scheduling on both satisfaction revenue. Methods: In 2017, task force at large, multidisciplinary pediatric instituted number ambulatory clinics. Clinic sessions were standardized 4-hour template,...
Background and objectives: Differences in patient anatomy physiology exist between young older patients undergoing breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Breast cancer has been described as being more aggressive, likely to receive radiation, contralateral mastectomy, well bilateral patients. Our purpose is report long-term experience on two-staged implant-based (IBR) females, with complication sub-analysis based obesity adjuvant radiation. Materials Methods: Retrospective chart review of...
