Post-traumatic osteomyelitis (PTO) of the lower extremity is among the most demanding problems in orthoplastic reconstructive surgery. It typically follows open fractures, failed osteosynthesis, or implant infection. Effective management re…

[BACKGROUND] The incidence of psychiatric disorders, particularly major depressive disorder, is increasingly observed among patients undergoing plastic surgery procedures. This trend has raised concerns about the impact of serotonergic anti…

[BACKGROUND] After the removal of ruptured breast implants, patients may elect to replace or not replace ruptured implants. They also may elect to undergo mastopexy alone without replacement of breast implants to maintain a more aesthetic s…

[BACKGROUND] The optimal radiotherapy regimen following mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction remains under active investigation. In particular, the safety of moderate hypofractionation (HF) compared to conventional fractionation (…

ObjectiveRecalcitrant palatal fistulas in patients with cleft palate history sometimes require free flap reconstruction. This study reviews the literature on described flaps and outcomes.DesignA systematic review was conducted per the Prefe…

[OBJECTIVE] The "July effect," a theory that the beginning of the academic year has worse operative outcomes and complication rates, remains controversial. We evaluated the "July effect" as a risk factor for negative operative outcomes in h…

[INTRODUCTION] Gynecomastia is characterized by enlarged breast tissue in men and is often caused by genetic or endocrinological disorders, cancer, or medication use, with idiopathic causes being the most common. If no clinically treatable …

: Reconstructive outcomes following head and neck (H&N) cancer resection in pediatric patients remain understudied, particularly regarding the comparative efficacy of free versus local tissue transfer. : A retrospective review was conducted…

[PURPOSE] This study aims to determine the feasibility of outpatient neurosurgery, which modern microsurgery enables through minimally invasive, tissue-sparing, and low-risk spinal procedures. Outpatient care offers several advantages, incl…

[INTRODUCTION] Facial feminization surgery (FFS) has become a crucial component of transgender gender-affirming care. Despite the increasing number of transgender patients undergoing FFS, there is limited literature investigating surgical o…

: Demand for anesthesia-sparing body contouring techniques is rising. This study assessed the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of medial thigh lift performed exclusively under tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) in an outpatient setting. : A …

[BACKGROUND] Timing of oral feeding following head and neck mucosal free-flap reconstruction is a highly contentious issue. The typical 6-12 days "nil-by-mouth' primarily revolves around the concern for post-operative complications. Convers…

[INTRODUCTION] Abdominal-based free tissue transfers, such as the Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap, are widely utilized in autologous breast reconstruction. These procedures are often complicated by wound healing issues at th…

The donor-site wound from deep inferior epigastric perforator flap breast reconstruction differs from abdominoplasty due to higher positioning and tension, potentially affecting healing. Closed-incision negative-pressure therapy has been pr…

[BACKGROUND] Obesity is a growing global epidemic, with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists emerging as effective pharmacological solutions for weight loss. However, these medications raise concerns in the context of aesthetic…

[BACKGROUND] With the increasing demand for aesthetic breast procedures, achieving optimal results with minimal scarring is paramount. Mastopexy and breast reduction aim to reshape the breast, delivering harmonious and lasting outcomes whil…

[BACKGROUND] The study aimed to compare the complication rates after different tissue displacement techniques of oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery performed by general surgeons for breast cancer management. [METHODS] Data were retrieve…

[BACKGROUND] The superolateral pedicle (SLP) is commonly used in our practice in breast reductions (BR) where the nipple-areola complex is too medial, restricting pedicle movement and positioning. This study demonstrates the safety and effi…

[BACKGROUND] Masculinizing top surgery (masculinizing mastectomy, thoracoplasty, or mammoplasty) is the most commonly performed gender-affirming surgical procedure for transmasculine individuals. This study presents 3 surgical chest contour…

[PURPOSE] Patients with obesity and a large pannus may benefit from the simultaneous performance of panniculectomy and ventral hernia repair. However, the literature reports conflicting results regarding an increased risk of surgical site e…
