[BACKGROUND] Revision breast reconstruction is often necessary to address complications, reduce asymmetry, or improve the aesthetic result. Our previously described use of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) has shown promise in primary reconstru…

[OBJECTIVE] To describe our institutional experience of a case series using a novel multi-segment, chimeric free ileal flap for posterior urethral reconstruction, focusing on surgical technique, perioperative management, and functional outc…

[BACKGROUND] Umbilicoplasty is a critical step in donor-site closure following abdominally based autologous breast reconstruction (ABR). While various incision designs and transposition techniques have been described, their impact on patien…

[PURPOSE] Complex posterior defects often present significant reconstructive challenges, particularly due to the scarcity of suitable recipient vessels. In these cases, an arterialized saphenous vein transfer can facilitate flap perfusion w…

The intersection between urology and plastic surgery represents an important collaborative frontier in modern reconstruction. Defects involving the genitourinary and perineal regions frequently require the coordinated expertise of both spec…

Prepectoral breast reconstruction poses unique challenges, including a lower tolerance for mastectomy flap skin necrosis and seroma formation. With appropriate patient selection, prepectoral breast reconstruction is a valuable reconstructiv…

Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) remains the most common form of post-mastectomy reconstruction worldwide, offering patients a reliable and accessible option to restore breast contour. Advances in surgical technique, biomaterials,…

Several biologic and synthetic adjuncts have been employed to reduce ptosis and improve cosmesis in breast surgery. Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), a fully absorbable polymer, continues to increase in use. This study sought to identify uses …

Patients requiring breast reconstruction following radiation therapy or prior failed autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) or implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) represent a challenging cohort and often present with compromised vasc…

Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM), given demonstrated oncologic safety, is widely used for both therapeutic and prophylactic mastectomy. The popularity of NSM has spurred advancements by breast and plastic surgeons, liberalizing the indicatio…

Reduction mammoplasty is becoming more commonly performed in the pediatric population yet the risk factors for complications have not been well-studied. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between preoperative patient c…

Since the first report of abdominally based tissue breast reconstruction with a free flap of rectus abdominis muscle to reconstruct mastectomy defects, autologous breast reconstruction has continually increased in popularity due to improved…

Giant intracranial aneurysms still represent a serious threat because of high mortality and morbidity and an absence of a widely accepted treatment. Herein, we illustrate the case of a 54-yr-old woman with progressive neurological decline w…

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the ambient cistern are an extremely rare and complex subgroup of vascular malformation, representing a clinical challenge due to the deep-seated, highly eloquent anatomic location and the debilitating,…

There are increasing reports of autoimmune and dermatologic sequelae of COVID-19. We describe an otherwise healthy patient with recent history of serious COVID-19 infection who developed post-surgical pyoderma gangrenosum following bilatera…
