Background Plastic surgery training continues to evolve with integrated residents spending more time in plastic versus general surgery. Herein, we provide an updated description of interprogram differences core general, plastic, and surgery-adjacent curricula. Methods We obtained rotation schedules from US residency websites or program coordinators for AY2021–2022. Rotation months were recorded categorized into Core General Surgery, Surgery-Adjacent. Rotations compared American Board Surgery...
Background Prepectoral tissue expander (TE) placement is an increasingly used breast reconstruction technique but may have a higher risk for mastectomy skin flap ischemia compared to subpectoral TE placement. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown salvage compromised flaps, there limited evidence on which patients require HBOT and benefit most from this treatment.

Abstract Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on school closures, workforce/employment status, and the enactment of stay-at-home orders may have resulted in changes incidence, mechanisms, time to presentation for treatment burn injuries. Given need prompt injuries prevent worsening injury, infection, and/or critical illness, potential delays during pandemic poorer patient outcomes. We hypothesize that patients demonstrated presentation, injury increased mortality intra-pandemic...
Abstract Introduction Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a condition that involves recurring inflammation and fibrosis of intertriginous areas. With increasing inpatient hospitalization rates in patients with HS, our study sought to examine differences outcomes between weekend weekday admission. The authors hypothesized admitted on will have worse in-hospital mortality when compared those weekday. Methods We used national database perform cross-sectional focusing 12,365 primary diagnosis HS...
Abstract Introduction Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic condition that defined by recurring inflammation and fibrosis of intertriginous areas. Patients with HS have had increasing inpatient hospitalization rates over the years. Our study investigates mortality morbidity factors in patients primary payer status. We hypothesized who are uninsured or insured Medicaid Medicare will worse in-hospital when compared to those private insurance. Methods Using national database, we performed...
