[PURPOSE] Trimmed proximal and distal nerve stumps should be morphometrically matching and show evidence of healthy fascicular tissue to potentiate nerve regeneration. We hypothesized that differences exist between nerve trimming instrument…

Mangled upper-extremity injuries represent composite tissue injuries that threaten the viability or function of the limb. Successful reconstruction is critical to both the patient's mental and physical well-being, and early soft tissue cove…

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant complication following deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction. The optimal duration of chemoprophylaxis remains debated, with differing recommendations on s…

[BACKGROUND] Soft tissue adhesions following hand and microsurgical procedures are frequent and debilitating complications, limiting tendon gliding, entrapping nerves, and impairing outcomes. A fully resorbable hyaluronic acid/alginate hydr…

Patients with large or ptotic breasts undergoing nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) face reconstructive challenges, including higher risks of complications and suboptimal aesthetic outcomes. Preshaping procedures, such as mastopexy or reductio…

[BACKGROUND] Partial phalloplasty flap loss presents an evolving challenge, largely due to the complex demands required for both aesthetics and function. We describe our novel experience using the superficial circumflex iliac perforator (SC…

[BACKGROUND] Free flap success rates have improved dramatically over the past three decades, setting a high standard for microvascular reconstruction. However, rates of arterial or venous thrombosis, and subsequent failure, remain high in b…

Blood pressure regulation is critical in patients undergoing microsurgical free tissue transfer; however, guidelines for addressing and preventing perioperative hypotension remain highly debated, with two current thought paradigms: (1) intr…

[PURPOSE] The hand has unique skin characteristics. Intrinsic flap donors are limited due to functional specificity and compactly connected structures. The hypothenar area is a reliable option for the reconstruction of finger defects. We pe…

Despite being relatively uncommon in the general population, thumb amputations cause severe disability. More than 3,300 thumb amputations occurred in the United States. The thumb makes up around 40% of the function of the hand. Therefore, l…

Demand for gender-affirming phalloplasty continues to grow worldwide, and the extended radial forearm flap phalloplasty remains one of the most commonly performed techniques. One potential morbidity that has emerged is postoperative donor s…

[INTRODUCTION] In May 2014, the US Department of Health and Human Services prohibited insurance discrimination of transgender individuals. Despite this, insurance plans often lack explicit guidelines on gender transition-related care and co…

An abnormal clinical Allen's test is not a definitive exclusion criterion for free radial forearm flap use. A surgical Allen's test may be useful to determine whether flap harvest is feasible in patients with an abnormal clinical Allen's te…

[BACKGROUND] Scientific publications are the cornerstone of scholarly activities. The importance of appropriately assigned authorship cannot be overstated. Hence, we felt it prudent to examine the perception of plastic surgery trainees rega…
