Subpectoral to prepectoral pocket change in implant-based breast reconstruction: A retrospective cohort study at a single institution.
[BACKGROUND] Patients who underwent breast reconstruction with submuscular implants frequently experience animation deformity (AD), pain, and cosmetic issues, warranting consideration of implant removal, exchange, pocket change, or autologo…

Efficacy and Morbidity of Heparin Infusion in Salvaging Autologous Breast Reconstruction Free Flaps.
[BACKGROUND] Abdominal-based free flaps are the mainstay in autologous breast reconstruction. Their safety and consistency in outcomes are well-documented. When flap compromise occurs, operative salvage is the gold standard. However, when-a…

Cephalic Vein Interposition Graft for Salvage of Compromised DIEP Flap in Breast Reconstruction.
The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap remains the preferred flap option for autologous breast reconstruction following mastectomy. This case report presents the novel use of the cephalic vein (CV) as an interposition graft to …

Predictors of seroma after breast reduction: When should drains be considered?
[BACKGROUND] The use of drains in reduction mammoplasty is highly variable among plastic surgeons. However, there is limited evidence to guide surgeons on the optimal timing and conditions for using drains to reduce the risk of seroma forma…

A Bibliometric Review of Capsular Contracture in Breast Implant: Global Trends and Research Hotspots.
Capsular contracture (CC) is the most common complication following breast augmentation and reconstruction. Although numerous risk factors and preventive strategies have been proposed, the etiology remains poorly understood. This study empl…

Revisiting Breast Reduction Insurance Coverage: How the Schnur Scale Discriminates against Women Based on Body Habitus.
[BACKGROUND] The Schnur scale used body surface area (BSA) to determine the amount of breast tissue resection in reduction mammaplasty, resulting in a greater requirement of breast weight removal in patients with larger BSA. The authors aim…

Microvascular Free Flap Reconstruction of Thigh Defects After Tumor Resection in the Setting of Radiation.
[BACKGROUND] Soft tissue reconstruction of the thigh defects can usually be achieved with local options. Free tissue transfer may be indicated in very large defects with exposed vital structures and/or a history of radiation therapy where t…

Wide local excision, Mohs micrographic surgery, and reconstructive options for treatment of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the breast: A retrospective case series from Mayo Clinic.
[BACKGROUND] Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) of the breast is a dermal fibroblastic neoplasm requiring wide excisional margins due to recurrence rates ranging from 26 to 60%. The current literature on reconstructive options and utili…

Long-term survival analysis of free flap reconstruction in patients with collagen vascular disorders.
[BACKGROUND] Collagen vascular disorders (CVD) are inflammatory diseases that can affect the blood vessels and soft tissues. Patients with CVD are often immunosuppressed, prone to hyper-coagulation, and represent a challenging patient cohor…

Defining the Role for Topically Administered Tranexamic Acid in Panniculectomy Surgery.
[BACKGROUND] Abdominal panniculectomy after weight loss is a commonly performed procedure with high patient satisfaction yet continues to have a high post-operative complication profile. Several risk-reducing surgical approaches, such as pr…

Efficacy of Tranexamic Acid in Reducing Seroma and Hematoma Formation Following Reduction Mammaplasty.
[BACKGROUND] Tranexamic acid (TXA) has gained increasing recognition as a valuable pharmacologic agent within plastic surgery. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to investigate the value and safety profile of both intravenous and topic…

The Anatomic Feasibility of a Functional Chimeric Flap in Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Dynamic and functional abdominal wall reconstruction (FAWR) remains a complex challenge. The ideal flap should have a minimal donor-site morbidity and cover a large surface area with motor and sensory capabilities. The goal was…
