Incidence of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
In 2020, the Food and Drug Administration mandated a black box warning on all breast implants, warning of an association with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). The World Health Organization recently introduced breast implant-associated…

National trends in utilization and timing of flap reconstruction for lower extremity Gustilo-Anderson III fractures: A National Inpatient Sample analysis.
[BACKGROUND] Recent research has suggested that the timing of successful flap reconstruction for lower extremity Gustilo-Anderson III fractures may be extended past 72 h of injury. This analysis incorporated a national database to assess th…

Racial and ethnic differences in rates of reduction mammoplasty among women with macromastia: An analysis of the All of Us Research Program.
[BACKGROUND] Reduction mammoplasty, or breast reduction, provides improvements in quality of life for women with macromastia. Existing literature has not thoroughly characterized potential socioeconomic differences in receiving breast reduc…

Body Roundness Index: An Alternative Metric for Plastic Surgery Risk Stratification.
Meta-analyses suggest the body roundness index (BRI) yields better discriminatory power for predicting cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome than the body mass index (BMI). Given the role of plastic surgeons in the surgical manageme…

Systematic under-ascertainment of anaplastic large cell lymphoma cases in cancer registries: report from a comprehensive cancer center.
[INTRODUCTION] Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has been rapidly rising in the US and around the world, leading to a mandated "black-box" label on all silicone- and saline-filled implants by the Food and Drug …

When a Good Flap Turns Bad: A Temporal Predictive Model for Free Flap Complications.
[BACKGROUND] Microsurgical cases are complex plastic surgery procedures with a significant risk of acute postoperative complications. In this study, we use a large-scale database to investigate the temporal progression of complications aft…

Use of Absorbable Dermal Staples in Bilateral Breast Reduction Surgery: Effects on Operative Times, Surgical Outcomes, and Procedure Charges.
[BACKGROUND] Use of the absorbable deep dermal stapler in wound closure has become more common in plastic surgery because of its possible reduction in operative times and subsequent decrease in operative room costs. In this study, we examin…

Predictors of extended length of stay following outpatient reduction mammaplasty.
[PURPOSE] Reduction mammaplasty has transitioned into a largely outpatient procedure in the United States. Following planned outpatient procedures, patients may still be admitted for additional inpatient care, incurring clinical and economi…

Disparities in pathways to reduction mammaplasty: A single institution review of 425 women with macromastia.
[BACKGROUND] Reduction mammaplasty improves the quality of life by providing functional and aesthetic benefits to women with macromastia. This study contributes to the existing literature on socioeconomic and clinical barriers to referral f…

A modified induced membrane 2-stage technique using a thoracodorsal artery perforator free flap followed by vascularized or non-vascularized free fibular transfer for the treatment of complex bone infection with concomitant severe soft tissue lesion-A case series of 9 cases.
Treatment of post-traumatic complex bone infection is very challenging. The two principal bone reconstruction approaches are the single-stage vascularized bone graft technique and the two-stage induced membrane technique (IMT). Here we intr…

Reconstruction of a Severe Open Tibiofibular Fracture using an Ipsilateral Vascularized Fractured Fibula with a Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator Free Flap.
The Gustilo IIIB tibiofibular fractures often result in long bone loss and extensive soft tissue defects. Reconstruction of these complex wounds is very challenging, especially when it includes long bone grafts, because the donor site is li…

Deformation characteristics of hydrogel products based on cross-linked hyaluronic acid.
[BACKGROUND] The cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the viscoelastic hydrogel with a dominant elasticity rather than a viscosity as a useful medical device in the soft tissue augmentation. These HA fillers undergo deformation to …

Safety and efficacy of letibotulinumtoxinA(BOTULAX®) in treatment of post stroke upper limb spasticity: a randomized, double blind, multi-center, phase III clinical trial.
[OBJECTIVE] To investigate a new botulinum neurotoxin type A, termed letibotulinumtoxinA(Botulax) and compare its efficacy and safety for post-stroke upper limb spasticity with that of onabotulinumtoxinA(Botox). [DESIGN] A prospective, dou…

Autologous vs Irradiated Homologous Costal Cartilage as Graft Material in Rhinoplasty.
[IMPORTANCE] Studies comparing surgical results of rhinoplasty using autologous costal cartilage (ACC) and irradiated homologous costal cartilage (IHCC) are rare. [OBJECTIVES] To compare the clinical results of major augmentation rhinoplas…

Factors that contribute to disagreement in satisfaction between surgeons and patients after corrective septorhinoplasty.
[BACKGROUND] Corrective septorhinoplasty is one of the most common facial plastic surgeries. However, surgeons and patients sometimes disagree about postoperative-outcome satisfaction after corrective septorhinoplasty. [OBJECTIVE] We inves…

Antibacterial effects of the povidone-iodine vacuum impregnation technique in expanded polytetrafluoroethylene augmentation rhinoplasty.
Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) is a popular graft material for augmentation rhinoplasty. Gore-Tex and Surgiform are two types of e-PTFE; Surgiform has thicker fibrils and is more compact than Gore-Tex. We conducted an ex vivo stu…

Histomorphometric analysis of the palatal mucosa associated with periodontal plastic surgery on cadavers.
[PURPOSE] The palatal mucosa is a major donor site for connective tissue in the field of periodontal plastic surgery, since it satisfies both the esthetic and functional demands of patients. The purpose of this study was to use histomorphom…
