Postoperative hematoma is a common yet unfavorable complication following head and neck free flap reconstruction (HNFFR). This study aims to clarify how perioperative blood pressures influence postoperative neck hematoma development and its…

[BACKGROUND] Traditional methods of mandibular reconstruction commonly utilize the fibula-free flap (FFF) with delayed placement of dental prostheses. Recently, immediate prosthesis placement has been introduced to eliminate the period of e…

Tranexamic acid (TXA) has gained popularity across various surgical specialties for reducing perioperative blood loss. However, its role in microsurgery remains underexplored, likely due to concerns that TXA may increase the risk of thrombo…

[BACKGROUND] Social media has emerged as an essential platform for plastic surgeons to advertise to potential new patients. Among the various factors influencing a patient's choice of physician, implicit bias plays a significant role. This …

Hybrid breast reconstruction (HBR) combines autologous tissue and bio-prosthetic breast reconstruction techniques. This method addresses many challenges associated with stand-alone techniques, including inadequate volume with autologous rec…

Persistent disparities in breast reconstruction access have been widely documented, yet a significant research gap remains in understanding the impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) on postoperative outcomes and complications.A ret…

Microsurgical breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps has become increasingly popular. While surgeons undergo rigorous training, it is believed that plastic surgeons continue to refine and enhance their p…
