"Locoregional perforator flaps in breast reconstruction: An anatomic review & quadrant algorithm".
[BACKGROUND] Plastic surgeons' firm grasp of perforator anatomy allows them to be increasingly mindful of esthetic outcomes, patient satisfaction, and donor-site function when approaching breast reconstruction. Mindfulness of these outcomes…
-
Complications of Capsulectomies: An Analysis of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database.
[BACKGROUND] Although plastic surgeons commonly perform capsulectomies for a variety of peri-prosthetic capsular conditions, the safety of capsulectomy remains unknown, and the literature lacks evidence describing its morbidity and complica…

Aesthetic Limitations in Direct-to-Implant Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Prepectoral direct-to-implant reconstruction has become an alternative to staged subpectoral expander-based reconstruction. Although the surgical safety of this technique has been shown, aesthetic limitations have not been well…
-
Nerve Blocks in Breast Plastic Surgery: Outcomes, Complications, and Comparative Efficacy.
[BACKGROUND] As plastic surgeons continue to evaluate the utility of nonopioid analgesic alternatives, nerve block use in breast plastic surgery remains limited and unstandardized, with no syntheses of the available evidence to guide consen…
-
Current Concepts in Capsular Contracture: Pathophysiology, Prevention, and Management.
Over 400,000 women in the United States alone will have breast implant surgery each year. Although capsular contracture represents the most common complication of breast implant surgery, surgeons continue to debate the precise etiology. Gen…
