Protective Factors Associated with Normal Lymphatic Function After Axillary Lymph Node Dissection for Breast Cancer Treatment.
[BACKGROUND] Risk factors associated with developing lymphedema following axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) are well-described in the literature. However, lymphedema diagnosis criteria is arbitrary and can vary between studies. This stu…

Textured versus Smooth Tissue Expanders: A Comparison of Complications in 3526 Breast Reconstructions.
[BACKGROUND] Increased understanding of breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma has led to a shift away from textured breast devices. A few small studies have compared the complication rates of textured and smooth tissue ex…

Comparisons of Impact of Vein Grafting with Different Indications on Outcomes of Reconstruction with Free Flaps.
[BACKGROUND] Prior studies have shown an increased risk of complications and flap loss with the use of vein grafts in microsurgery. We hypothesize that indication for use of a vein graft can affect flap complications and loss rates. [METH…

Management of postoperative microvascular compromise and ischemia reperfusion injury in breast reconstruction using autologous tissue transfer: Retrospective review of 2103 flaps.
[BACKGROUND] Although rates of microvascular thrombosis following free-flap breast reconstruction are low, debate persists about the optimal methods to restore blood flow and prevent ensuing flap shrinkage or fibrosis. Here we evaluate our …

Perioperative Inpatient Opioid Consumption Following Autologous Free-Flap Breast Reconstruction Patients: An Examination of Risk and Patient-Reported Outcomes.
[BACKGROUND] The response to the unprecedented opioid crisis in the US has increased focus on multimodal pain regimens and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways to reduce opioid use. This study aimed to define patient and system-l…

Breast Implant-associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Incidence: Determining an Accurate Risk.
[OBJECTIVE] This study sought to estimate the incidence and incidence rate of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) at a high-volume single institution, which enables vigorous long-term follow-up and implant tr…

Autologous Breast Reconstruction after Failed Implant-Based Reconstruction: Evaluation of Surgical and Patient-Reported Outcomes and Quality of Life.
[BACKGROUND] There is a subset of patients who initially undergo implant-based breast reconstruction but later change to autologous reconstruction after failure of the implant reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to examine outcome…

Analysis of satisfaction and well-being in the short follow-up from breast augmentation using the BREAST-Q, a validated survey instrument.
[BACKGROUND] Improvements in satisfaction and quality of life following breast augmentation have been shown in the literature. However, few studies have used validated survey instruments. The BREAST-Q is a strong and validated questionnaire…

Analysis of satisfaction and well-being following breast reduction using a validated survey instrument: the BREAST-Q.
[BACKGROUND] Breast reduction surgery has been proven in the literature to have a high rate of patient satisfaction, with improvement in quality of life. However, few studies have used validated survey instruments. The BREAST-Q is the only …
