[BACKGROUND]  Microvascular free tissue transfer is a common tool for the reconstruction of oncologic head and neck defects. Adequate preoperative assessment can aid in appropriate risk stratification and peri-operative optimization. The mo…

[BACKGROUND] The elbow is a complex joint that is vital for proper function of the upper extremity. Reconstruction of soft tissue defects over the joint space remains challenging, and outcomes following free tissue transfer remain underrepo…

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a form of gender-affirming care for the transgender population that is currently a highly debated topic both inside and outside of the medical community. Currently, a paucity of information is available …

[BACKGROUND] Despite advanced wound care techniques, open fractures in the setting of lower extremity trauma remain a challenging pathology, particularly when free tissue transfer is required for coverage. We aimed to evaluate factors assoc…

[BACKGROUND] Hair loss can cause psychological distress for patients, regardless of the etiology or extent of the defect. Many conservative and pharmacological approaches are successful in management, but refractory or severe cases often ma…

[SUMMARY] Patients with significant loss of abdominal wall soft tissue represent a reconstructive challenge. The purpose of this study was to describe the authors' experience using microvascular free tissue transfer to repair complex abdomi…

[BACKGROUND] Local tissue rearrangement, free flap reconstruction, and Bilayer Wound Matrix represent reconstructive modalities for coverage of scalp defects; however, preferred indications are less clear. The authors aimed to evaluate the …

Vascularized composite allotransplantation of the face is an exceedingly complex procedure, requiring extensive planning and surgical precision in order to successfully manage patients with facial disfigurements. This review aims to present…

[OBJECTIVES] The main objective of this study was to investigate the utility of the sublabial approach in gaining proper exposure for tip rhinoplasty maneuvers in a cadaver model. Additional objectives included identifying types of grafts t…

[BACKGROUND] Various medical specialties have demonstrated gender disparities involving industry-supported payments. The authors sought to determine whether such disparities exist within plastic surgery. [METHODS] Industry contributions to…

[BACKGROUND]  In 2017, our institution initiated a cadaver laboratory-based course dedicated to teaching reconstructive microsurgery indications, preoperative planning, and flap dissection. The goals of this study are to describe the demogr…

[BACKGROUND] Management of traumatic lower extremity injuries requires a skill set of orthopedic surgery and plastic surgery to optimize the return of form and function. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed comparing demograp…

[BACKGROUND] The use of free flaps from the medial femoral condyle has grown in popularity and is now a workhorse in the reconstruction of skeletal defects. The utility of this technique has not yet been described for the pediatric patient …

[BACKGROUND]  There has been increasing interest in the superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap as a source of thin, pliable soft tissue combined with a favorable donor site. Despite several clinical series from Asia, bar…

[BACKGROUND] Previous studies have demonstrated that nonwhite race and disadvantaged socioeconomic status negatively impact outcomes following lower extremity reconstruction. The authors sought to characterize differences in outcomes betwee…

Thoracic duct occlusion can lead to devastating complications, resulting in recalcitrant chylothoraces, ascites, generalized lymphedema, metabolic derangement, and death. Lymphatic extravasation has traditionally been managed conservatively…

[BACKGROUND] Dermal fillers are increasingly popular for facial rejuvenation and enhancement, including effacement of nasolabial folds (NLFs) and marionette lines and lip augmentation. This study aimed to evaluate casual observer perception…

[BACKGROUND] Many plastic surgeons avoid the administration of venous thromboembolism (VTE) chemoprophylaxis out of concern for surgical bleeding in abdominoplasty. Although previous studies have attempted to address the relationship betwee…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reduction surgery has consistently fallen within the top 10 surgical procedures performed by plastic surgeons. This is because of its capability to relieve the physical and psychological impact of macromastia. Although n…

[BACKGROUND] The utilization of the smartphone and social media have introduced paradigm shifts to cosmetic surgery. Much has been studied regarding social media and its influences in plastic surgery; however, little is known about facial e…

Chairs/chiefs of plastic surgery departments/divisions are responsible for directing activities at academic institutions and thus help determine the direction of academic plastic surgery. Other studies have characterized this group but have…

[INTRODUCTION] Soft-tissue reconstruction of the scalp has traditionally been challenging in oncologic patients. Invasive tumors can compromise the calvarium, necessitating alloplastic cranioplasty. Titanium mesh is the most common alloplas…

[BACKGROUND] Oncologic resection of the scalp confers several obstacles to the reconstructive surgeon dependent upon patient-specific and wound-specific factors. We aim to describe our experiences with various reconstructive methods, and de…

[BACKGROUND]  Traumatic limb salvage with free flap reconstruction versus primary amputation for lower extremity (LE) injuries remains an oft debated topic. Limb salvage has well-studied benefits and advances in microsurgery have helped red…

Neoadjuvant treatment and surgical resection for sarcoma patients can often leave devastating wounds necessitating soft-tissue coverage in the form of free flaps. There is still debate as to the optimal flap for reconstruction of defects in…

[UNLABELLED] The prevalence of complex abdominal wall defects continues to rise, which necessitates increasingly sophisticated medical and surgical management. Insurance coverage for reconstructive surgery varies due to differing interpreta…

In this systematic review we aim to (1) describe the anatomy and function of the soft tissue triangle, (2) identify the existing rhinoplasty literature that discusses the role of the soft tissue triangle, (3) provide a summary of the outcom…

[BACKGROUND] Increasing in popularity, social media provides powerful marketing and networking tools for private practice plastic surgeons. The authors sought to examine social media utilization by academic plastic surgery training programs…

[BACKGROUND] The number of adults with master's, professional, and doctoral degrees has doubled since 2000. The relevance of advanced degrees in plastic surgery has not been explored. [METHODS] Faculty, residents, and recent alumni with ad…
