[BACKGROUND] Hand surgery fellowship programs in the United States are predominately sponsored by departments or divisions of orthopaedic surgery or plastic surgery. This study compares the operative experiences of hand surgery fellows grad…

[INTRODUCTION] The modern medical era is in part characterized by the increased availability of portable imaging devices. Ultrasound devices are used for either high-resolution non-invasive imaging or as a focused acoustic energy source cap…

[RATIONALE] Reducing the morbidity associated with anterolateral thigh (ALT) donor sites by performing aesthetic restoration has become a popular research topic. Various surgical techniques have been developed allowing for direct closure of…

Bibliometric analysis is a common method to determine the most influential articles in medical specialties, as it is an objective measure of peer recognition of scientific work. This study is the first bibliometric analysis of the literatur…

 This study examined the need for improved training in the identification and management of free flap (FF) compromise and assessed a potential role for simulated scenario training.  Online needs assessment surveys were completed by plastic …

[BACKGROUND] Telemedicine, the use of information technology and telecommunication to provide healthcare at a distance, is a burgeoning field with applications throughout medicine. Given the visual nature of plastic surgery and dermatology,…

Composite defects of the leg often involve microsurgical reconstruction. Microsurgery is technically demanding in post-trauma situations in very young children. There is renewed interest in cross leg flaps in this scenario. Children aged up…

[INTRODUCTION] Handling problems in the head and neck region often requires a close cooperation between allied professions, just as in the challenging cases presented by us. Cases and methodology: With the first patient, we performed a radi…

[INTRODUCTION] Although plastic surgeons make important contributions to the clinical, educational, and research missions of academic medical centers (AMCs), determining the financial value of a plastic surgery service can be difficult, due…

[PURPOSE] Portfolio planning in health care represents the strategic prioritization of services that permits an organization to better achieve its goals of margin and mission. Because of recent volatility in the economy, declining reimburse…

[BACKGROUND] Microvascular free flaps have become a reliable standard procedure. Due to increasing microsurgical experience in teaching hospitals, residents are getting acquainted with performing free flap surgeries earlier in their trainin…

Introduction Microsurgical reconstruction of the breast represents an area of continual evolution, as new autologous flaps are introduced and principles are refined. This progression can be demonstrated by bibliometric analysis of the scien…

[BACKGROUND] The scope of otolaryngology and plastic surgery overlap within head and neck reconstruction is increasing; yet comparative outcome studies between these two subspecialties are limited. [METHODS] A retrospective review was perf…

[INTRODUCTION] Surgical simulation models are often limited by their lack of fidelity, which hinders their essential purpose, making a better surgeon. Fresh cadaveric tissue is a superior model of simulation owing to its approximation of li…

[INTRODUCTION] Who and what have been the most influential innovators and innovations in plastic surgery? This historical paper attempts to determine our most important contributors and contributions. [METHODS] We conducted an anonymous, 7…

[BACKGROUND] With growing contribution to plastic surgery by our international colleagues, one may be wondering about what US plastic surgeons have learned from them. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a single surgeon's experience t…

Extensive facial soft tissue volume deficits can pose a significant challenge to the facial reconstructive surgeon. These defects are typically the result of trauma, tumor extirpation, or congenital defects and produce troubling cosmetic an…

[BACKGROUND] Effective postoperative monitoring of the vascular pedicle to a free flap can potentiate rapid return to the operating room in the setting of compromise, allowing for the potential to salvage the flap. The only ubiquitous metho…

Covering soft tissue defects remains challenging for orthopaedic surgeons, especially those in resource-challenged facilities. Covering tissue defects follow a plan from simple to complex: primary closure, local flap, area flap, pedicle fla…

Anterolateral thigh flap is a perforator flap, which is vascularised by the descending branch of the lateral circonflex femoral artery. It has been described first by Song in 1984 and is essentially developed in Asia. This flap can be pedic…
