[BACKGROUND] Reducing postoperative length of stay (LoS) benefits both patients and hospi- tal systems. This study leverages the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database to identify pre…

[INTRODUCTION] Microsurgery is one of the most technically demanding and rapidly advancing domains in modern surgery. Despite its transformative role across reconstructive and restorative disciplines, global patterns of microsurgical resear…

Subfascial placement has been reported to reduce capsular contracture (CC) in primary breast augmentation. Given the shift toward smooth implants, it is unclear whether the perceived advantage reflects the surgical plane or historical impla…

[BACKGROUND] Loss of breast sensation following mastectomy and reconstruction significantly impacts quality of life, influencing body image, intimacy, and overall emotional well-being. Despite advances in reconstructive techniques, sensory …

[BACKGROUND] Postoperative management following abdominoplasty varies widely, particularly regarding improving the time to return to baseline physical activity. [OBJECTIVES] The goal of the authors of this randomized controlled trial was t…

[BACKGROUND] Liposuction is the most common plastic surgery procedure performed in the United States. Continued advancements have led to the development of five common approaches to liposuction. [OBJECTIVES] The authors of this study aim t…

[BACKGROUND] While there is mounting evidence that closed suction drains are not necessary, there is a paucity of literature to demonstrate that drains are harmful after breast reduction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the eff…

[BACKGROUND] The practice of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent surgical site infection (SSI) in breast surgery remains debated. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature evaluating the current …

[BACKGROUND] Antibiotic prophylaxis for non-oncologic breast surgeries is not well described by procedure type. This study identified the underlying microbiological etiologies and antibiotic sensitivities of culture-positive infections from…

[BACKGROUND] Over 70,000 reduction mammaplasties were performed in 2022. Previous studies have suggested equivalent overall complication rates with or without intraoperative drains but have been inadequately powered to assess individual out…

[METHODS] A retrospective chart review of 2500 patients having undergone bilateral reduction mammoplasty at 5 institutions from 2010 to 2019 was performed to record pedicle selection, patient demographics, comorbidities, body mass index, pa…

Plastic surgery stands at an inflection point: proofs-of-concept for artificial intelligence (AI) abound, yet responsible clinical integration remains limited. We argue this reflects an organizational readiness gap rather than a modeling de…

Bibliometric indices have long served as the foundation for assessing academic productivity and scholarly impact, influencing hiring decisions, tenure evaluations, grant allocations, and institutional rankings. However, traditional metrics …

[BACKGROUND] With ongoing investigations of the impact of device texturing on breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), studies have begun comparing complication profiles of tissue expanders. However, there is a p…

[BACKGROUND] Pain control after autologous breast reconstruction is important for patient satisfaction and early recovery. Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks are commonly used as part of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathw…

[BACKGROUND] The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) free flap is the gold standard procedure for autologous breast reconstruction. Although breast-related complications have been well described, donor-site complications and contribu…

This study aimed to determine whether there is a difference in free flap failure based on the decision to undergo immediate versus delayed autologous tissue breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The National Surgical Quality Improvement P…

Autologous reconstruction with DIEP flap has illustrated greater patient satisfaction with both aesthetic satisfaction and reconstructive treatment process when compared to implant-based reconstruction longitudinally. However, DIEP flap bre…

[BACKGROUND] Abdominal contouring surgery can provide both functional and cosmetic benefits to patients with abdominal soft tissue laxity. Although these procedures have been studied in the inpatient setting, few studies describe abdominal …

[BACKGROUND] Different types of abdominoplasties have been developed to address individual patient characteristics. However, an analysis of complication rates and risk factors for different types of abdominoplasties has yet to be reported. …

[INTRODUCTION] Research is a critical component of academic medicine that may or may not be prioritized in centers with high clinical volumes. The benefits of research expansion go beyond notoriety and industry partnerships, expanding into …

[INTRODUCTION] While bibliometric ranking systems have been designed to use citations, funding, and alumni productivity, there is a need for a simple metric that objectively evaluates the work of a group or organization. The present study d…

This restrospective cohort study of Medicare payment data found increases in the number of advanced practice providers who bill for plastic and reconstructive surgery care. The growth in advanced practice providers is expected to continue i…

[BACKGROUND] There are mixed results in surgical complications regarding the usage of prepectoral versus subpectoral implant placement in direct-to-implant breast reconstruction. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive synthesis of surg…

[BACKGROUND] Venous congestion after deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction is a complication that may be partially attributable to variations in venous abdominal wall anatomy. In previous work, we have…

[BACKGROUND] Patient reports of unprofessional conduct by surgeons have been linked to postprocedure complications and increased risk for malpractice claims. Coworkers are also positioned to observe and report unprofessional behaviors, incl…

[BACKGROUND] Letters of recommendation play an important role in resident selection. While plastic surgery's Standardized Letter of Recommendation (SLOR) form most commonly serves as an adjunct to narrative letters, the SLOR provides object…
