[BACKGROUND] Radiation therapy (RT) significantly increases the risk of capsular contracture after implant-based breast reconstruction. However, the relationship between anatomic plane placement (eg, submuscular or prepectoral) and the deve…

[BACKGROUND] Advances in orthopedic oncology have significantly improved outcomes following extremity tumor resections; however, complications like nonunion, hardware failure, and radiation-induced fractures can occur after orthopedic fixat…

[BACKGROUND] Black race is associated with worse outcomes following implant and autologous breast reconstruction. Although oncoplastic surgery is increasingly used to optimize aesthetic and oncologic outcomes, it remains unclear whether sim…

[BACKGROUND] Patients undergoing abdominal-based free flap breast reconstruction are at risk for perioperative venous thromboembolism (VTE), but the optimal anticoagulation protocol remains unknown. We hypothesized that a standardized chemo…

[BACKGROUND] As part of the 2021 changes to breast reconstruction CPT codes, the Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC) recommended adjustments to work RVUs (wRVUs) based on newly surveyed intraoperative times. The authors' objective w…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin is commonly used in the treatment of neurological disorders. Although neurological complications predominate and can lead to respiratory failure or death, no observational studies have specifically described the…

[INTRODUCTION] While botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) is effective for poststroke spasticity, its accessibility in older adults remains unclear. We aimed to examine the association between BoNT-A use and age among stroke survivors. [METHODS…

This article introduces a novel technique for refining the middle third of the nose in preservation rhinoplasty, adhering to the principles established by Teoman Dogan. The technique, applicable through both open and closed approaches, main…

As multiple indications for botulinum toxin injections (BTIs) can coexist for neurological patients, there are to date no description of concomitant injections (CIs) to treat both spasticity and neurogenic detrusor overactivity incontinence…

There are limited real-world data on the use of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Accordingly, this nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study aimed to describe BoNT-A treatment trends i…

[BACKGROUND] Current guidelines recommend intramuscular botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injection as first-line treatment for spasticity, a frequent and impairing feature of various central nervous system (CNS) lesions such as stroke. Patie…

[INTRODUCTION] Several patterns of urological dysfunctions have been described following spinal cord injury (SCI), depending on the level and the completeness of the injury. A better understanding of the natural history of neurogenic bladde…

Spasticity is one of the most disabling symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS). Botulinum toxin injection (BTI) is a first-line treatment for focal spasticity. There is a lack of evidence of a functional improvement following BTI in MS-related…

The dorsalis pedis reconstruction requires to bring a thin tissue to recover every noble structure of the foot including tendons, nerves and vessels while resisting the stress induced on these structures when walking or wearing shoes. We re…

[AIMS] Purposes of this study were to describe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and related urodynamic patterns in patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), and to characterize LUTS management and associated uronephrological com…

[BACKGROUND] Spasticity following lesions of the central nervous system such as stroke is a major cause of impairment and disability, especially when it affects the upper limb, and can be focally relieved by intramuscular injections of botu…

[AIMS] Aims of this study were to assess the long-term outcomes of Intradetrusor injection of OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox® injection) associated with clean intermittent-catheterization (CIC) for the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivi…

[INTRODUCTION] The morphological result of nipple-areola complex (NAC) reconstruction may be disappointing for patients who undergo skin-sparing mastectomies and immediate breast reconstruction, followed by secondary reconstruction of the n…
