Patient-Reported Outcomes of Primary Cleft Rhinoplasty: A Long-Term Assessment Using CLEFT-Q.
ObjectiveRhinoplasty maneuvers at the time of cleft lip (CL) repair remain controversial. Particularly, the impact of primary rhinoplasty (PR) on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and quality of life (QoL) is largely unknown. This study aims…

Assessing the additional surgical risk of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy and immediate breast implant reconstruction.
[INTRODUCTION] There has been a sharp rise in the rate of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy over the last decade, despite the low incidence of new primary cancers predicted for the contralateral breast. This study compares the postopera…

Evaluation of capsular contracture following immediate prepectoral versus subpectoral direct-to-implant breast reconstruction.
Capsular contracture is a common adverse outcome following implant breast reconstruction, often associated with radiation treatment. The authors hypothesize that muscle fibrosis is the main contributor of breast reconstruction contracture a…

Trans-axillary approach for breast implant exchange in high risk cases of irradiated or attenuated skin.
[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction with implants after tissue expansion is one of the most common methods of reconstruction. Although this approach is generally reliable, exchange of breast tissue expander for implant through the standard a…
-
A methodological analysis of the plastic surgery cost-utility literature using established guidelines.
[BACKGROUND] Cost-utility studies, common in medicine, are rare within plastic surgery despite their capability of measuring the value of procedures by considering the societal costs of improving quality of life. The objectives of this stud…
