Early Complications in Prepectoral Breast Reconstructions with and without Acellular Dermal Matrix: A Preliminary Analysis of Outcomes.
[BACKGROUND] Prepectoral tissue expander (TE) placement for two-stage postmastectomy reconstruction is usually performed in conjunction with insertion of acellular dermal matrix (ADM). However, the effects of ADM use on TE loss or other ear…

Commercial Insurance Rates and Coding for Lymphedema Procedures: The Current State of Confusion and Need for Consensus.
[BACKGROUND] Surgical treatment of lymphedema has outpaced coding paradigms. In the setting of ambiguity regarding coding for physiologic procedures [lymphovenous bypass (LVB) and vascularized lymph node transplant (VLNT)], we hypothesized …

Air versus Saline in Initial Prepectoral Tissue Expansion: A Comparison of Complications and Perioperative Patient-Reported Outcomes.
[BACKGROUND] One option to optimize prepectoral tissue expander fill volume while minimizing stress on mastectomy skin flaps is to use air as an initial fill medium, with subsequent exchange to saline during postoperative expansion. The aut…

The contribution of microvascular free flaps and pedicled flaps to successful chest wall surgery.
[OBJECTIVE] Pedicled flaps (PFs) have historically served as the preferred option for reconstruction of large chest wall defects. More recently, the indications for microvascular-free flaps (MVFFs) have increased, particularly for defects i…

Reconstruction of oncologic upper extremity defects with fibula free flaps has high union rates and excellent functional outcomes.
[BACKGROUND] Limb salvage has better functional outcomes than amputation in the upper extremity. This can however be challenging after bony tumor resections. [METHODS] This is a retrospective case series of patients who underwent humerus, …
