Post-mastectomy implant-based reconstruction can be performed as direct-to-implant (DTI) or two-staged reconstruction (TSR). Rigorous studies have explored postoperative complications between TSR or DTI, yet few have stratified outcomes by …

The deep inferior epigastric perforator artery (DIEP) free flap is the most commonly performed autologous breast reconstruction. Despite the relative reduction in donor site complications compared to nonmuscle-sparing options, there is stil…

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare malignancies requiring extensive surgical resection, often leading to significant soft tissue defects. Flap reconstruction is crucial for restoring function and appearance. Recent reconstructive microsurg…

Simultaneous symmetrizing surgery (SSS) at the time of unilateral free flap reconstruction has been described as a method to facilitate single-stage breast reconstruction. However, the impact on cost and number of additional procedures is n…

[BACKGROUND] Preoperative radiotherapy and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury during free tissue transfer may impair tissue oxygenation and increase flap complications. Ischemic conditioning, which involves brief cycles of ischemia and reper…

[INTRODUCTION] Jawline and upper neck definition are crucial for aesthetically pleasing outcomes in face lifts. Still, neck rejuvenation is challenging with current techniques which can be either invasive or have minimal and short-term effe…

[BACKGROUND] Revision abdominoplasty is an increasingly relevant subset of body contouring surgery, yet it remains underrepresented in the literature. Indications range from early postoperative complications to aesthetic dissatisfaction and…
