[INTRODUCTION] Surgeon preferences in implant-based reconstruction have increasingly favored firmer gel implants for their superior stability, reduced gel bleed, and lower capsular contracture rates. However, this has paralleled an increase…

[INTRODUCTION] Hernia and bulge are recognized complications after DIEP flap harvest. We evaluate retrorectus placement of absorbable polyglactin mesh as a low-cost strategy to reduce hernia and bulge, and introduce a sliding scale estimato…

[INTRODUCTION] Device manufacturers generally recommend using concordant tissue expanders (TE) and implants during staged implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR). In practice, discordant pairings may occur due to availability, patient or…

[BACKGROUND] Multiple simultaneous free flap reconstructions for extensive head and neck defects in vessel-depleted necks are extremely challenging. The "Orochi" flap, described by Koshima, in which one or more secondary free flaps are anas…

[INTRODUCTION] Significant efforts during the past decades have led to growing racial diversity in the field, resulting in more underrepresented minorities (URM) in training. To highlight areas for improving URM inclusion and training, we s…

[BACKGROUND] The reconstructive ladder relies mostly on defect size and depth to determine reconstructive technique, however, in actuality, many more variables ultimately inform reconstructive decision making, especially regarding extremity…

[BACKGROUND] Limb-sparing resections of thigh soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) can result in adverse outcomes. Identifying preoperative predictors for wound healing complications, tumor recurrence, and mortality is crucial for informed reconstru…

Reconstructive surgeons navigate a plethora of options when choosing a soft-tissue flap donor site for head and neck reconstruction, each with its distinct pros and cons. This review delves into the profunda artery perforator flap and provi…

[OBJECTIVE] Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) are sparsely represented within plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) and recent changes including the elimination of step 1 scoring have further disadvantaged DO applicants. The demograp…

[BACKGROUND] Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is the highest academic degree awarded by universities in most fields of study. In surgery, it is thought to provide surgeons with skills to conduct high-quality research and advance academically. How…

[BACKGROUND] Predatory journals have exploited the open access publishing model and are considered as a major threat to the integrity of scientific research. The goal of this study was to characterize predatory publishing practices in plast…

[BACKGROUND] The 2020 to 2021 residency and fellowship application cycles were profoundly affected by the introduction of virtual interviews. The authors investigated the impact the virtual format had on plastic surgery residency and fellow…

[BACKGROUND] As more plastic surgery clinicians pursue advanced degrees and strive to become stronger physician-scientists, an objective understanding of how such degrees influence careers becomes important. We hypothesized that having a ma…
