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…

The Use of Flap Techniques to Preserve Limb Length in Patients with Transmetatarsal Amputations.
[BACKGROUND] Chronic lower extremity wounds affect up to 13% of the US population. Transmetatarsal amputation (TMA) is frequently performed in patients with chronic forefoot wounds. TMA allows limb salvage and preserves functional gait, wit…

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. …

Prophylactic Lymphovenous Bypass at the Time of Axillary Lymph Node Dissection Decreases Rates of Lymphedema.
[BACKGROUND] Breast cancer-related lymphedema impacts 30% to 47% of women who undergo axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Studies evaluating the effectiveness of prophylactic lymphovenous bypass (LVB) at the time of ALND have had small p…

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…

Free flap reconstruction of plantar weight-bearing heel defects: Long-term functional and patient-reported outcomes.
[PURPOSE] Non-healing plantar weight-bearing heel ulcers are a challenging problem to treat. Free tissue transfer (FTT) reconstruction of the heel is an opportunity for limb salvage to preserve gait and ambulation. The aim of this study is …
-
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…
