Dorsal Preservation versus Open Structural Rhinoplasty: Can We Tell the Difference between Aesthetic and Functional Outcomes?
[BACKGROUND] Preservation-with respect to the dorsum, nasal cartilages, and soft-tissue envelope-has reemerged as a guiding philosophy in rhinoplasty. Dorsal preservation (DP) is attractive for its advantages of maintaining the osseocartila…

Capsular inflammation after immediate breast reconstruction - Gene expression patterns and inflammatory cell infiltration in irradiated and non-irradiated breasts.
[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture following post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is commonly seen in patients undergoing implant-based immediate breast reconstruction (IBR). Further understanding of the underlying biology is needed for the d…

Are Surgical Drains Needed in DIEP Flap Surgery? The Drain-Free DIEP Flap Concept.
[BACKGROUND] Studies support an inherent morbidity associated with the use of surgical drains-such as postoperative pain, infection, reduction in mobility, and delay in patient discharge-and they do not prevent seroma or hematoma. The autho…
