Microsurgery is a core component of U.S. plastic surgery residency curriculum. This study compares publicly available information on microsurgery curricula and training among U.S. plastic surgery residency programs, while evaluating the bac…

The improved stability and controllability of robotics has the potential to expand the spectrum of reconstructive surgery. Until recently, however, no robot was designed specifically for microsurgery. The present study aims to summarize the…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgical decision-making requires integration of diverse patient-specific factors, advanced surgical techniques, and dynamic intraoperative insights. While artificial intelligence (AI), large language models (LLMs), and re…

Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) is widely used in cosmetic practice and generally considered safe, with adverse effects usually limited to transient local reactions. Rarely, systemic spread or counterfeit formulations can cause iatrogenic b…

[BACKGROUND] Aesthetic surgery requires integration of specialized knowledge with clinical expertise, yet traditional literature search methods are time-intensive when addressing specific clinical questions. Although artificial intelligence…

[BACKGROUND] The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is a predominant technique for autologous breast reconstruction. However, the best method of abdominal fascial closure in this technique is not well defined. This study detail…

Buccal mucosa is one of the common subsite for oral carcinoma. Following excision of the buccal mucosa tumor mass various pedicled and free flaps have been used to reconstruct the oral cavity defect. In this age of free flaps various locore…

Federal government research grants provide limited funding to plastic surgeon-scientists, with reconstructive research taking precedence over aesthetic research. The Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation (ASERF) is a nonprofit…

[BACKGROUND]  Recent advancements in supermicrosurgery and promising preliminary outcomes have led to a surge in physiologic lymphedema surgery. This study is the first to evaluate lymphedema surgical education among U.S. plastic surgery re…

Current literature fails to examine gender differences of authors presenting abstracts at national plastic surgery meetings. This study aims to assess the ratio of female to male abstract presentations at Plastic Surgery The Meeting (PSTM).…

[INTRODUCTION] Afflicting 2 million lives annually worldwide, breast cancer remains devastating. This study utilized a continuously updated network of electronic medical records (TriNetX Inc, Cambridge, MA) for analysis of 90-day postoperat…

Cartilage defects can be difficult to treat; therefore, tissue engineering of cartilage is emerging as a promising potential therapy. One interesting area of research explores the delivery of cells to the cartilage defect via scaffold-based…

Anecdotally, female plastic surgeons are disproportionately underrepresented as speakers, moderators, and panelists at national and regional plastic surgery meetings. No studies have attempted to quantify female representation at Plastic Su…

[BACKGROUND] The healthcare industry's efforts to immunize the global community against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been unprecedented. Given the fast-tracking of the novel vaccine, its short- and long-…

[OBJECTIVE] Current methods of managing excessive gingival display, an aesthetic concern, with gingivectomy, orthodontic intrusion, restorative dentistry and even botulinum toxin, have often been unsatisfactory. This study evaluates the eff…

[BACKGROUND] Intraoperative contamination of the surgical field during aesthetic breast augmentation may lead to implant infection with devastating consequences. This study covers a period of 30 years and is divided into 2 phases: a retrosp…

[BACKGROUND] Breast implant infection remains a problem despite various prevention methods. Common pathogens such as staphylococcus aureus typically present acutely with fever, erythema, swelling, and pain. However, with the increasing occu…

[AIMS] To assess the characteristic clinical features, management, and outcome of patients who present to orthopaedic surgeons with functional dystonia affecting the foot and ankle. [METHODS] We carried out a retrospective search of our re…

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is characterized by involuntary synchronous contractions or spasms of one side of the face, usually beginning around the eye. They are typically brief, irregular clonic movements but are occasionally tonic. We present…

[BACKGROUND] The AeroForm tissue expander is a carbon dioxide-filled breast tissue expander that allows gradual, needle-free expansion using a hand-held remote controller. This study evaluates 2-stage, prepectoral tissue expander-to-implant…

[OBJECTIVE] Myofascial pain is a chronic pain disorder characterized by the presence of painful localized regions of stiff muscle and/or myofascial trigger points. Intramuscular myofascial trigger point injections are considered first-line …

. Giant inguinoscrotal hernias (GIH) are defined as groin hernias extending below the mid-thigh when standing, often significantly encumbering activities of daily living. To date, there are no reports utilizing the combination of progressiv…

[BACKGROUND] Modern techniques for breast-reduction surgery depend on large surface de-epithelialization. The current gold standard technique involves the use of a scalpel for sharp debridement and is a time-consuming process that is labor-…

Secondary sexual characteristics convey information about reproductive potential. In the same way that facial symmetry and masculinity, and shoulder-to-hip ratio convey information about reproductive/genetic quality in males, waist-to-hip-r…
