Preoperative Lower Back Pain is a Risk Factor for Worse Physical Well-Being of the Abdomen After Breast Reconstruction.
Abdominally based free flap breast reconstruction offers excellent long-term outcomes, but donor-site morbidity remains a concern. Lower back pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition that may impair core stability and abdominal donor-s…

Racial Disparities in Oncoplastic Reduction Mammoplasty and Mastopexy Outcomes.
[BACKGROUND] Black race is associated with worse outcomes following implant and autologous breast reconstruction. Although oncoplastic surgery is increasingly used to optimize aesthetic and oncologic outcomes, it remains unclear whether sim…

Changes to Chest Surface Anatomy Following Exchange From Anatomic Textured Implants to Smooth Round Implants in Breast Reconstruction: A Preliminary 3D Imaging Analysis.
Increased awareness of textured breast implants' association with breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma has led to rising rates exchange from textured anatomic implants to smooth round implants, which can alter breast est…

Improving the Evaluation of Aesthetic Outcomes in DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: Validation of the Aesthetic Grading Tool.
[INTRODUCTION] This study aimed to develop and validate an aesthetic grading tool (AGT) for bilateral DIEP flap breast reconstruction and investigate the correlation of BREAST-Q scores with perceived aesthetic outcomes. [METHODS] The AGT u…

Moving Toward the Outpatient DIEP Flap: Factors Influencing Early Discharge.
[BACKGROUND] Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols can reduce the length of stay (LOS) for surgical patients, including those undergoing unilateral deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction, all…

Textured versus Smooth Tissue Expanders: A Comparison of Complications in 3526 Breast Reconstructions.
[BACKGROUND] Increased understanding of breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma has led to a shift away from textured breast devices. A few small studies have compared the complication rates of textured and smooth tissue ex…

Surgical Management of Textured Breast Implants: Assessing Risk and Analyzing Patient-Reported Outcomes.
[BACKGROUND] Textured implants have been linked to breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Patients who undergo explantation have options for reconstruction, but data on safety and patient-reported outcomes (PRO…

Imaging in Autologous Breast Reconstruction.
The evolution of imaging actively shapes clinical management in the field. Ultrasonography (US), computed tomography angiography (CTA), and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) stand out as the most extensively researched imaging modalities…

Optimizing Unilateral Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction: A Quality Improvement Study.
Deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap surgery commonly involves multiday hospitalization, although data suggest 95% of complications after unilateral DIEP flap breast reconstruction occur within the first 24 hours. The aim of this…

Population Health Implications of Medical Tourism.
[BACKGROUND] Fifteen million U.S. patients each year seek medical care abroad; however, there are no data on outcomes and follow-up of these procedures. This study aims to identify, evaluate, and survey patients presenting with complication…

A Novel Approach to Surgical Markings Based on a Topographic Map and a Projected Three-Dimensional Image.
[UNLABELLED] Surgical markings play a crucial role in the planning of plastic surgery procedures. However, despite their importance, they are often imprecise. For instance, when assessing patients in need of autologous fat grafting, surgeon…
