Acellular Dermal Matrix-Assisted, Prosthesis-Based Breast Reconstruction: A Comparison of SurgiMend PRS, AlloDerm, and DermACELL.
[BACKGROUND] Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are frequently employed in immediate prosthesis-based breast reconstruction (iPBR) to provide structural support. Despite differences in ADM derivatives, few studies directly compare their outco…

Clinical utility of the modified frailty index in predicting adverse outcomes in patients undergoing lower extremity free flap reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Identifying at-risk patients for complications remains challenging in patients with chronic lower extremity (LE) wounds receiving free tissue transfer (FTT) for limb salvage. The modified-5 frailty index (mFI-5) has been utiliz…

Muscle versus Fascia Free Tissue Transfer for Treatment of Chronic Osteomyelitis in the Comorbid Population.
[BACKGROUND] In patients with chronic lower extremity (LE) wounds, chronic osteomyelitis confers additional complexity to achieving adequate treatment. Previous reviews demonstrate increased rates of osteomyelitis recurrence in patients wh…

COVID-19 Vaccination Status and Capsular Contracture Following Prosthetic Breast Reconstruction: A Retrospective, Multicenter Nested Case-Control Study.
[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture (CC) is a common long-term complication following prosthetic-based breast reconstruction (PBBR). Seven cases of CC following mRNA vaccination for coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) are reported in the literature. …

Long-Term Outcomes in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease Who Undergo Free Flap Reconstruction for Chronic Lower Extremity Wounds.
[BACKGROUND] Free tissue transfer (FTT) is critical for limb salvage of chronic lower extremity (LE) wounds. In patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), FTT LE reconstruction can be challenging due to limited vessel selection for an…
-
A comparative analysis of fasciocutaneous versus muscle free flaps in peripheral vascular disease patients.
[OBJECTIVE] Chronic lower extremity (LE) wounds are common in patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD). Free tissue transfer (FTT) provides healthy soft tissue for wound coverage and additional blood supply to promote wound healing. …

Comparison of Charlson Comorbidity Index and Modified 5-Factor Frailty Index as Clinical Risk Stratification Tools in Predicting Adverse Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Lower Extremity Free-Flap Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Free tissue transfer (FTT) reconstruction is associated with a high rate of limb salvage in patients with chronic lower extremity (LE) wounds. Studies have shown perioperative risk stratification tools (e.g., 5-factor modified…

A Systematic Review of Artificial Intelligence Applications in Plastic Surgery: Looking to the Future.
[UNLABELLED] Artificial intelligence (AI) is presently employed in several medical specialties, particularly those that rely on large quantities of standardized data. The integration of AI in surgical subspecialties is under preclinical inv…
