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…

Surgical Management of Textured Breast Implants: Assessing Risk and Analyzing Patient-Reported Outcomes.
[BACKGROUND] Textured implants have been linked to breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Patients who undergo explantation have options for reconstruction, but data on safety and patient-reported outcomes (PRO…

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…

A preliminary analysis of patient reported outcomes following posterolateral mandible reconstruction: The role of flap type.
[BACKGROUND] The choice of tissue type for free flap reconstruction of posterolateral mandible resections is dependent on patient and defect characteristics. We compared clinical and patient-reported outcomes following reconstruction of the…

Clinical, functional, and patient-reported outcomes of radial forearm versus anterolateral thigh free tissue transfer for reconstruction of glossectomy defects.
[BACKGROUND] There is a lack of literature of health-related quality of life endpoints for radial forearm (RF) versus anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap reconstruction for glossectomy defects. Our goal was to perform a comprehensive evalua…

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…

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…
