Ten-Year experience with vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap for reconstruction of abdominoperineal resection defects.
[PURPOSE] We evaluate outcomes of our single center using vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) flaps for reconstruction after abdominoperineal resection (APR). Our goal was to analyze factors that may affect perineal wound healing,…

Implications for human adipose-derived stem cells in plastic surgery.
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a subset of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that possess many of the same regenerative properties as other MSCs. However, the ubiquitous presence of ADSCs and their ease of access in human tissue have le…

Applications of biomaterials in plastic surgery.
The expansion of the application of biomaterials in plastic surgery has led to the increased availability of commercial products in recent years. This overview discusses soft tissue fillers, bioengineered skins, acellular dermal matrices, b…

What patients look for when choosing a plastic surgeon: an assessment of patient preference by conjoint analysis.
The knowledge of patient preference is crucial for plastic surgeons to determine optimal marketing strategies. Conjoint analysis is a statistical technique whereby research participants make a series of trade-offs. Analysis of these trade-o…

Postoperative seroma formation after abdominoplasty with placement of continuous infusion local anesthetic pain pump.
The most common complication after abdominoplasty is seroma formation. The incidence of seroma formation in abdominal procedures as a whole, including abdominoplasty, panniculectomy and transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap abdomina…

Infection risk from the use of continuous local-anesthetic infusion pain pumps in aesthetic and reconstructive abdominal procedures.
Postoperative pain control after abdominal procedures can be an area of significant concern. Continuous local-anesthetic infusion pain pumps have been clearly documented in recent literature to provide effective early postoperative pain con…

Reconstruction of the lower extremity after ablative resection for cancer.
Limb-sparing surgery for cancer of the lower extremity has ushered the development of composite, one-stage reconstructions that employ a combination of autologous tissues, bone allografts, and endoprosthetic devices. The success of these ef…

Cutaneous nasal malignancies: is primary reconstruction safe?
[BACKGROUND] The nose is particularly vulnerable to cutaneous malignancies, making it the most common location for presentation. Recurrence of these cutaneous lesions is not uncommon, often compromising the timing of nasal restoration. It i…

Silicon tissue assay: are there intracapsular variations?
In previous studies, we were able to demonstrate baseline non-augmented cadaveric silicon tissue values as well as silicone-augmented breast capsular tissue silicon levels from various geographic locations in the United States. One of the l…

Reconstruction and the radiated breast: is there a role for implants?
The use of breast implants in irradiated patients is controversial. Recently, 39 irradiated implants were compared with 338 nonirradiated implants in 297 patients between January of 1975 and October of 1994 at The University of Texas M. D. …

Silicon tissue assays in nonaugmented cadaveric patients: is there a baseline level?
Microscopic silicone in various tissues in the bodies of females with breast implants has led to the possible incrimination of these implants with connective-tissue disorders. Current technology precludes accurate silicone measurements, but…
