[BACKGROUND] The risks of postoperative complications in breast cancer patients vary by patient and tumor characteristics. Elevated BMI and invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) increase risks of surgical complications and positive margins, resp…

[BACKGROUND] The optimal timing of post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) in autologous breast reconstruction is controversial. Our study compares overall reconstructive outcomes in patients who received post-mastectomy radiation therapy …

[BACKGROUND] Increasing body mass index (BMI) is a known risk factor for autologous microsurgical breast reconstruction. No prior studies have stratified outcomes across BMI ranges or defined the BMI at which complication rates dramatically…

[BACKGROUND] Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) of the breast grows in a diffuse pattern, resulting in a high risk of positive margins at surgical resection. Oncoplastic approaches have been shown to reduce this risk, but concerns persist aro…

[BACKGROUND] Clear discharge instructions are vital for patients and caregivers to manage postoperative care at home. However, they often exceed the sixth-grade reading level recommended by national associations. It was hypothesized that Ch…

[BACKGROUND] While free-flap breast reconstruction becomes more common, it is still approached with caution in older patients. Outcomes in the elderly population have not been well characterized, especially with regard to donor-site sequala…

[BACKGROUND] Despite improvement in abdominal morbidity with deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction compared to prior abdominally-based free flap breast reconstruction, abdominal bulge, and hernia rates have b…

[UNLABELLED] Development of the nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) technique has dramatically improved breast reconstruction, and preservation of the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) positively influences patient satisfaction. However, women with …

[BACKGROUND] Topical and intravenous uses of tranexamic acid (TXA) have been shown to reduce bleeding and ecchymosis in various surgical fields. However, there is a lack of data evaluating the efficacy of TXA in breast surgery. This systema…

[BACKGROUND]  As our population ages, the demand for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) will dramatically increase to ensure an independent lifestyle with unimpeded and pain-free ambulation. Complications will be inevitable, especially in that p…

[BACKGROUND] We present a comparative series to utilize minimally invasive endoscopic, total extraperitoneal laparoscopic (TEP-lap), and transabdominal preperitoneal robotic perforator (TAP-RAP) harvest of the deep inferior epigastric (DIE)…

[BACKGROUND] Reconstruction of lumpectomy defects with reduction mammoplasty techniques can improve aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction. However, one concern with the substantial tissue rearrangement required is the possible difficu…

The surgical management of breast cancer has dramatically evolved over the past 20 years, with oncoplastic surgery gaining increased popularity. This field of breast surgery allows for complete resection of tumor, preservation of normal par…
