Evolution of Length of Stay in Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction: A National Big Data Study of 21,777 Flap Cases from a 16-Year ACS-NSQIP Analysis.
[BACKGROUND] Reducing postoperative length of stay (LoS) benefits both patients and hospi- tal systems. This study leverages the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database to identify pre…

Reconstruction of a Composite Heel Defect Using Achilles Tendon Allograft and Latissimus Dorsi Free Flap: Case Report and Literature Review.
[BACKGROUND] Composite heel defects involving the Achilles tendon and overlying soft tissue are rare and technically demanding. Successful management requires restoration of tendon continuity and durable coverage. We reviewed the literature…

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Mapping of Global Microsurgery Research: Dual Automation for Data and Classification.
[INTRODUCTION] Microsurgery is one of the most technically demanding and rapidly advancing domains in modern surgery. Despite its transformative role across reconstructive and restorative disciplines, global patterns of microsurgical resear…

The Importance of Clinical Relevance and the Limitations of P -Values in Plastic Surgery Research : The CLARITY-SURG Statement.
The proliferation of administrative databases, electronic health records, and large observational cohorts has profoundly expanded the scope of surgical research. At the same time, it has intensified a long-standing interpretive error: the r…

Steal Syndrome in Free Flap Microvascular Reconstruction of the Lower Extremity: Systematic Review of Incidence, Risk Factors, and Surgical Management.
: Steal syndrome in the setting of microvascular reconstruction refers to a phenomenon whereby blood flow is diverted from the native tissue to the free flap, leading to ischemia and potential limb loss. In the present study, we aim to comp…

The Split Latissimus Free Flap for Reconstruction of Defects Around the Ankle: Exploring the Potential of the Workhorse.
The latissimus dorsi muscle flap is a widely used flap for soft tissue reconstruction. It is supplied by the thoracodorsal artery, which has a consistent intramuscular branching, allowing for flap division into 2 or more segments. We presen…

Reinventing aesthetic surgery education: A structured, global framework integrating academia, private sector, and industry.
The global shortage of structured aesthetic surgery training persists across diverse healthcare systems. In response, we propose a flexible hybrid model that integrates academic institutions, private sector collaborations, and industry reso…

Structural barriers and pathways to artificial intelligence integration in plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery stands at an inflection point: proofs-of-concept for artificial intelligence (AI) abound, yet responsible clinical integration remains limited. We argue this reflects an organizational readiness gap rather than a modeling de…

The Role of the Fascia-Only Anterolateral Thigh Flap in Extremity Reconstruction: The Fascia-Only Anterolateral Thigh Flap.
[BACKGROUND] Free flap selection in extremity reconstruction can be challenging. The ideal flap has to be thin and pliable to achieve optimal contour and function. We explore the role of the fascia-only anterolateral thigh (fALT) flap in ex…

Forecasting the flap: predictors for pediatric lower extremity trauma reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Predicting the need for post-traumatic reconstruction of lower extremity injuries remains a challenge. Due to the larger volume of cases in adults than in children, the majority of the medical literature has focused on adult lo…

Breast Reconstruction Following Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma.
[BACKGROUND] Standard of care treatment of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) involves surgical resection with implant removal and complete capsulectomy. We report a case series of BIA-ALCL reconstruction wi…

Age as a Risk Factor in Abdominoplasty.
[BACKGROUND] Recent studies reviewing large patient databases suggested that age may be an independent risk factor for abdominoplasty. However, these investigations by design considered only short-term major complications. [OBJECTIVES] The…
