[OBJECTIVES] Long-term aesthetic outcomes following head and neck (HNC) microvascular free flap reconstruction are poorly understood. As patient survival improves for HNC, it is critical to understand the impact of surgical treatment upon a…

[BACKGROUND] Surgical intervention remains an important option in the management of vestibular schwannoma (VSs). Development of a systematic approach to choose the most appropriate route for this intervention, based on existing published ev…

[BACKGROUND] Dangling protocols are widely used in the postoperative management of lower extremity free flaps to promote microvascular adaptation. To optimize outcomes, surgeons use dangling protocols, gradually increasing limb dependency, …

[OBJECTIVES] While prior studies have demonstrated favorable aesthetic outcomes using skin grafted free flaps to improve recipient site color match (Epithelial Preservation Including Dermal Resection Microvascular technique: EPIDERM techniq…

Retrospective cohort study. To (1) assess post-operative quality of life (QOL) and functional outcomes of fibula free flap (FFF) donor sites, (2) examine the incidence of post-operative claw toe deformities (CTDs) following FFF harvest, an…

Pediatric lower lip reconstruction is rare and technically challenging due to small donor sites, ongoing facial growth, and functional demands, such as speech and oral competence. We present the case of a one-year-old male who sustained com…

[BACKGROUND] Social determinants of health (SDH), such as race, language, and insurance status, may impact access to surgical care and postoperative outcomes. This study investigates the role of SDH in patients undergoing osteocutaneous fre…

[BACKGROUND] Preoperative planning with CT-angiography (CTA) in deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction is an essential preoperative tool. The aim of this study was to describe the management of the incidental finding…

[INTRODUCTION] Research is key to academic advancement in plastic surgery. However, access to publication opportunities may be inequitable as seen in other fields. We compared authorship trends of plastic surgery manuscripts that underwent …

[BACKGROUND] Authors compare use of propeller flaps versus skin grafts in defect coverage after fibula flap harvest. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Retrospective review of patients who received either PFPF or STSG. Primary predictor variable was …

Cervical dystonia (CD) is the most common form of focal dystonia with Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) being a frequent method of treatment. Dysphagia is a common side effect of BoNT treatment for CD. Instrumental evaluation of swallowing in CD …

[PURPOSE] Journals are increasingly using social media to increase article engagement. We aim to determine the impact of Instagram promotion on, and identify social media tools that effectively enhance, plastic surgery article engagement an…

Free flap reconstruction often involves extensive cervical access for microvascular anastomosis where management of pathology would otherwise not require cervical approach. This study reports a minimally invasive alternative technique. Inve…

[INTRODUCTION] Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) with adjuvant radiotherapy is oncologically comparable to mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) in treating breast cancer. This tertiary UK centre cross-sectional study compared…

In recent years, robotic assistance in vitreoretinal surgery has moved from a benchtop environment to the operating rooms. Emerging robotic systems improve tool manoeuvrability and provide precise tool motions in a constrained intraocular e…

[BACKGROUND] There is limited information on optimization of symptomatic management of cervical dystonia (CD) after implantation of pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS). [OBJECTIVES] To describe the long-term, "real-world" management of C…

[BACKGROUND] The global COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted all aspects of healthcare, including the delivery of elective aesthetic surgery practice. A national, prospective data collection was carried out of the first aesthetic pl…

[BACKGROUND] Increasing health care diversity is critical to overcoming disparities. Plastic surgery has been working to improve diversity through various efforts, including social media movements like Diversify PRS and #ilooklikeasurgeon. …

[BACKGROUND] Osteocutaneous fibula free flap (OCFFF) donor sites are often covered with skin grafts, with an additional donor site, more postoperative care, and increased cost. The authors examine posterior tibial artery (PTA) based pedicle…

A 56-year-old female with a history of meningioma status post subtotal resection (Simpson grade IV) and extensive radiation therapy presented with osteoradionecrosis (O.R.N.) managed previously with a microvascular free flap (MVFF). The eva…

Retinal surgery is known to be a complicated and challenging task for an ophthalmologist even for retina specialists. Image guided robot-assisted intervention is among the novel and promising solutions that may enhance human capabilities du…

The integration of robotics into retinal microsurgery leads to a reduction in surgeon perception of tool-to-tissue interaction forces. This blunting of human tactile sensory input, which is due to the inflexible mass and large inertia of th…

Retinal microsurgery is one of the most technically demanding surgeries, during which the surgical tool needs to be inserted into the eyeball and is constantly constrained by the sclerotomy port. During the surgery, any unexpected manipulat…

[OBJECTIVE] Robotics-assisted retinal microsurgery provides several benefits including improvement of manipulation precision. The assistance provided to the surgeons by current robotic frameworks is, however, a "passive" support, e.g., by d…

[PURPOSE] This study aims to map force interaction between instrument and sclera of in vivo rabbits during retinal procedures, and verify if a robotic active force control could prevent unwanted increase of forces on the sclera. [METHODS] …

[BACKGROUND] Cervical dystonia (CD) patients have impaired working memory, processing speed and visual-motor integration ability. We used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate changes in cerebral oscillations in CD patients during an …

[BACKGROUND] Shoulder pain is a common problem, with 30% to 50% of the American population affected annually. While the majority of these shoulder problems improve, there is a high rate of recurrence, as 54% of patients experience persisten…
