Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, with increasing incidence with age. However, surgeons are often hesitant to offer complex surgical reconstruction to the older patient population due to concerns about safety. A query of…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat transfer (AFT) is increasingly used for breast augmentation, either for primary augmentation or symmetrization in the unaffected, native breasts following breast reconstruction. However, the incidence of fat necr…

[BACKGROUND]  This meta-regression aims to investigate risk factors for abdominal hernia and bulge in patients undergoing deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps and the effect of prophylactic mesh placement on postoperative compli…

Reconstructive microsurgery remains a demanding field, requiring technical expertise and long operating hours. This places microsurgeons at increased risk of dissatisfaction and burnout. The co-surgeon model has been developed to mitigate t…

Capsular contracture is characterized by the formation of a fibrous capsule around a breast implant after an augmentation mammaplasty, and often results in pain, firmness, and implant distortion. The aim of this meta-analysis was to investi…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgical reconstructions are incredibly demanding, and many plastic surgeons perform these procedures with a co-surgeon (CSM), or a microsurgical fellow (MSF). Although both the CSM and MSF have their benefits, there is cu…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture after implant-based breast reconstruction is not an uncommon problem and affects reconstruction outcomes. It can be influenced by various factors, such as the plane of implant placement, implant surface and…

[INTRODUCTION] Immediate Lymphatic Reconstruction (ILR) is a prophylactic microsurgical lymphovenous bypass technique developed to prevent breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL). We investigated current coverage policies for ILR among the …

[BACKGROUND] Machine learning (ML) is a form of artificial intelligence that has been used to create better predictive models in medicine. Using ML algorithms, we sought to create a predictive model for breast resection weight based on anth…

Forequarter amputation is a rarely indicated operation that has the potential for delayed wound healing, chronic pain, and dysfunction. Reconstruction in cases of skin and soft tissue loss may be particularly challenging. Here we present a …

[BACKGROUND] Many breast reconstruction patients undergo post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT), which is well known to increase the risk of complications. There is limited data on outcomes and safety of prepectoral breast reconstruction …

[BACKGROUND] Prepectoral reconstruction using prosthetic devices has demonstrated a notable increase in popularity and confers a number of advantages over subpectoral placement, including minimal animation, no pain secondary to muscle spasm…

Chronic complications following anterior cranial fossa tumor extirpation, such as cerebrospinal fluid leak, meningitis, mucocele, pneumocephalus, and abscess, negatively impact patient quality of life. Robust vascularized tissue is generall…

[BACKGROUND] Musculoskeletal symptoms and injuries among surgeons are underestimated but are increasingly recognized to constitute a major problem. However, it has not been established when symptoms start and what factors contribute to the …

Body contouring after weight loss is becoming more prevalent. An appropriate systematic approach that starts from the first consultation needs to focus on residual comorbidities and weight of the patient. A thorough discussion about potenti…

[BACKGROUND] Aesthetic procedures are among the most common surgeries performed by plastic surgeons. The prevalence of persistent pain remains unknown and underappreciated in the plastic surgery literature. [OBJECTIVES] The purpose of this…

[BACKGROUND] Smoking is considered to be a significant risk factor for the development of postoperative complications after various surgical procedures, mainly by limiting oxygen delivery to tissues. Evidence on the collective impact of smo…

The authors describe a 23-year-old woman with Gorham's syndrome who underwent an uneventful bilateral reduction mammoplasty which has not been reported in the medical literature today. The patient had undergone multiple surgical and medical…
