A Multidisciplinary Approach to Brachial Plexus Birth Injury: An Overview and Institutional Experience.
Without early diagnosis and intervention, brachial plexus birth injuries (BPBIs) can result in permanent upper extremity debilitation. Previously, BPBI was treated by single-specialty surgeons; however, given the complexity of the injury, B…

Clinical utility of the modified frailty index in predicting adverse outcomes in patients undergoing lower extremity free flap reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Identifying at-risk patients for complications remains challenging in patients with chronic lower extremity (LE) wounds receiving free tissue transfer (FTT) for limb salvage. The modified-5 frailty index (mFI-5) has been utiliz…

COVID-19 Vaccination Status and Capsular Contracture Following Prosthetic Breast Reconstruction: A Retrospective, Multicenter Nested Case-Control Study.
[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture (CC) is a common long-term complication following prosthetic-based breast reconstruction (PBBR). Seven cases of CC following mRNA vaccination for coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) are reported in the literature. …

Long-Term Outcomes in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease Who Undergo Free Flap Reconstruction for Chronic Lower Extremity Wounds.
[BACKGROUND] Free tissue transfer (FTT) is critical for limb salvage of chronic lower extremity (LE) wounds. In patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), FTT LE reconstruction can be challenging due to limited vessel selection for an…

A comparative analysis of fasciocutaneous versus muscle free flaps in peripheral vascular disease patients.
[OBJECTIVE] Chronic lower extremity (LE) wounds are common in patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD). Free tissue transfer (FTT) provides healthy soft tissue for wound coverage and additional blood supply to promote wound healing. …

Comparison of Charlson Comorbidity Index and Modified 5-Factor Frailty Index as Clinical Risk Stratification Tools in Predicting Adverse Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Lower Extremity Free-Flap Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Free tissue transfer (FTT) reconstruction is associated with a high rate of limb salvage in patients with chronic lower extremity (LE) wounds. Studies have shown perioperative risk stratification tools (e.g., 5-factor modified…

Intensive care unit versus floor admission following lower extremity free flap surgery: Is there a difference in outcomes?
[BACKGROUND] Free tissue transfer (FTT) lower limb salvage requires costly multidisciplinary care. Traditionally, patients who undergo FTT reconstruction for lower extremity (LE) wounds were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in the …

Modified goldilocks nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate prepectoral implant-based reconstruction: a case report.
[BACKGROUND] Nearly 80% of women who undergo post-mastectomy reconstruction opt for implant-based reconstruction. Preservation of the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) in nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) significantly improves patient satisfactio…
