A Quadrant-based Algorithm for Oncoplastic Breast Reduction: The Use of Mirror Flaps for Filling Superior Pole Lumpectomy Defects.
[BACKGROUND] Reconstructing upper-quadrant defects in oncoplastic breast reduction (OBR) can be challenging due to upper-pole concavity after tumor resection. To address this, we adopted a dual-component technique using 2 separate flaps: (1…

Superomedial Pedicle Breast Reduction in Patients with Sternal Notch-to-Nipple Distances Greater than 40 cm.
[BACKGROUND] The superomedial pedicle (SMP) is favored for preserving nipple-areolar complex (NAC) vascularity and superior pole fullness. However, its use in breast reductions (BR) with sternal notch-to-nipple (SN-N) distances ≥40 cm is de…

The novel use of virtual surgical planning in radial forearm phalloplasty.
Phalloplasty has become an increasingly prevalent component of gender affirming surgery in recent years. While it is most commonly performed using a radial forearm free flap (RFFF) due to the thin and pliable nature of this tissue, the larg…

A Combined "Vasculoplastic" Approach to the Vasculopathic Patient Undergoing Limb Salvage: Understanding the Role of Endovascular Revascularization for Lower Extremity Free Tissue Transfer.
Multidisciplinary care with vascular surgery and plastic surgery is essential for lower extremity free flap (LEFF) success in the chronic wound population with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease. There is a lack of understanding on pe…

Superolateral Pedicle Breast Reduction for Patients with Medially Positioned Nipple-Areola Complexes.
[BACKGROUND] The superolateral pedicle (SLP) is commonly used in our practice in breast reductions (BR) where the nipple-areola complex is too medial, restricting pedicle movement and positioning. This study demonstrates the safety and effi…

The Role of Decision Aids and Soft Tissue Simulations in Breast Reduction Surgery: A Pilot Study.
In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of soft tissue simulations as a decision aid on BREAST-Q outcomes after breast reduction surgery. A total of 7 patients underwent breast reduction. The mean BREAST-Q scores at baseline and 6 mont…

Predictors of Match Success for Reapplicants in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Insights From Program Directors.
[OBJECTIVE] Plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) is among the most competitive specialties, with up to 45% going unmatched each year. While extensive research exists on first-time PRS applicants, data on reapplicants remain limited. Thi…

Indocyanine Green Angiography for Detecting Quantitative Perfusion Changes in Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction With Second Venous Drainage.
[BACKGROUND] This study aims to compare perfusion dynamics using indocyanine green videoangiography before and after the creation of a second venous anastomosis between the superficial inferior epigastric vein and the retrograde internal ma…

Resection Weight Formulas for Reduction Mammoplasty: A Systematic Review and Regression Analysis.
[PURPOSE] Estimating resection weight for patients undergoing reduction mammoplasty (RM) informs surgical planning and outcomes. Existing formulas have limitations that make insurance coverage and accurate surgical planning challenging. We …

Factors Influencing Graduates of American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowships Career Choice of Academic or Private Practice: A 20-Year Review.
Absence of published literature on facial plastic and reconstructive surgery (FPRS) fellows' pursuit of academic careers hampers informed decision making for those interested in the specialty, fellowship program directors, and leaders in th…

Common practices in botulinum toxin injection for spasmodic dysphonia treatment: A national survey.
[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] Although no clear guidelines exist, protocols in the treatment of spasmodic dysphonia (SD) vary among physicians. Previously published work comes from relatively few centers. [STUDY DESIGN] A descriptive survey amon…
