Clostridium difficile induced coagulopathy: Implications for microsurgery in the setting of limb salvage.
[BACKGROUND] Studies have demonstrated a correlation between Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and hypercoagulability. This study evaluates CDI in patients undergoing lower extremity (LE) free tissue transfer (FTT) and quantifies its im…

Extended Scalp Expansion for Larger Defects During Staged Cranioplasty.
[BACKGROUND] Secondary cranioplasty is often required following trauma, infection, radiation, or oncologic care, but is complicated by soft-tissue deficits with limited regional options. Scalp tissue expanders can provide hair-bearing, vasc…

Postoperative Edema Resolution Post-Orthognathic Triple Jaw Surgery: A Three-Dimensional Volumetric Analysis.
[PURPOSE] The final result following orthognathic surgery may be hidden for months due to postoperative swelling. However, no substantial evidence supports this time estimate. Our study aims to three-dimensionally quantify volumetric change…

Abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness as a substitute for BMI in predicting complications in abdominally-based autologous breast reconstruction.
[INTRODUCTION] Patient selection for autologous tissue transfer for postmastectomy breast reconstruction often utilizes body mass index (BMI) to risk stratify patients, though it only estimates fat content and does not address fat distribut…
