[LEARNING OBJECTIVES] After studying this article, the participant should be able to (1) gather appropriate history and perform relevant physical exam maneuvers for head and neck complaints, (2) relate presenting complaints to differential …

[LEARNING OBJECTIVES] After studying this article, the participant should be able to (1) understand the incidence and trends of pediatric head and neck cancer; (2) identify the common tumors that present in the head and neck region; (3) des…

[BACKGROUND] Robotic microsurgery is rapidly changing the surgical landscape by mitigating conventional hand-surgical limitations such as physiological tremor while promoting increased precision in confined spaces through the provision of h…

Granulomatous mastitis is an unknown disease for the plastic surgeon, it is frequent, benign and can be confused with an infectious process and its importance lies in the fact that it can occur after surgery. Its diagnosis is clinical, pres…

[OBJECTIVE] Profileplasty traditionally involves improving a nasal hump or an underprojected chin. However, this procedure can correct other facial defects like saddle nose or prognathism. To establish the best overall profile, the nose, th…

[BACKGROUND] Triple jaw surgery, inclusive of a LeFort osteotomy, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, and genioplasty, is used to maximize functional and esthetic outcomes for patients. This is achieved through the procedure's measurable ef…

The bipedicled Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap, originally described and primarily utilized in autologous breast reconstruction for specific cases, has expanded its applications to encompass diverse anatomical regions in rec…

[BACKGROUND] Patients with dentofacial anomalies may undergo orthognathic surgery to address functional and aesthetic concerns. Past works have evaluated determinants affecting length of stay (LOS) in patients undergoing upper and/or lower …

Various sociodemographic factors affect patient access to care. This study aims to assess how factors such as government-funded insurance and socioeconomic status impact the ability of adolescents with cleft lip-associated nasal deformities…

[BACKGROUND] In 2022, the plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) match faced unprecedented system-wide transitions that have redefined conventional measures of applicant success. This challenges the equitable assessment of student competi…

[BACKGROUND] Plastic surgery residency applicants often express interest in academic subspecialties, but only a small percentage of graduating residents pursue academic careers. Identifying reasons for academic attrition may help training p…

[INTRODUCTION] Botulinum toxin (BT) injections may play a role in preventing Hirschsprung associated enterocolitis (HAEC) episodes related to internal anal sphincter (IAS dysfunction). Our aim was to determine the association of outpatient …

[BACKGROUND] Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains a major clinical end-point for directing enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in facial plastic surgery. This study aimed to identify risk factors for PONV and evalua…

[PURPOSE] Patients with significant dentofacial deformities undergoing aesthetic and functional orthognathic surgery may often require genioplasty to advance the position of the pogonion relative to B point. No study to date has evaluated n…

[PURPOSE] The final result following orthognathic surgery may be hidden for months due to postoperative swelling. However, no substantial evidence supports this time estimate. Our study aims to three-dimensionally quantify volumetric change…

[BACKGROUND] Secondary mastopexy augmentation is challenging because of compromised blood supply to the nipple areola complex (NAC). The operating surgeon often relies on clinical judgment and may perform a more conservative elevation of th…

[BACKGROUND/PURPOSE] Pediatric septorhinoplasty has sparked controversial debate amongst craniofacial surgeons, particularly due to its potential growth disturbances of the face and nose. The purpose of this study is (1) to conduct a system…

Artificial intelligence (Al)-based analyses may serve as a more objective tool for measuring cosmetic improvements following aesthetic plastic surgery. This preliminary proof-of-concept study utilized a novel commercial facial recognition s…

[PURPOSE] Optimal correction of the cleft nasal deformity remains challenging. The purpose of this study was to examine the practice patterns and postoperative course of patients undergoing cleft lip repair with rhinoplasty compared to thos…

[UNLABELLED] Primary CL/P repair, revisions, and secondary procedures-cleft rhinoplasty, speech surgery, and alveolar bone grafting (ABG)-performed from 2014-2018 were identified from the Pediatric National Surgical Quality Improvement Prog…

Financial contributions from industry for physician-led research have been historically challenging to study in plastic surgery. However, as mandated by the Physician Payments Sunshine Act of 2013, the Open Payments Database (OPD) has incre…

[PURPOSE] Business fundamentals, such as leadership, negotiations, and personal finance, remain as an overlooked component of residency education. It remains unclear how faculty members in academic plastic surgery particularly view the inte…

[INTRODUCTION] Stasis from obstruction at the level of the internal anal sphincter (IAS) can lead to Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) and may be improved by botulinum toxin (BT) injections. Our aim was to determine if BT injecti…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty in older adults requires unique consideration of the aging nose. [OBJECTIVES] The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature pertaining to rhinoplasty in the aging population, review the seni…
