[BACKGROUND] Efficient and objective tools for self-assessment of microsurgical skills are needed to ensure high-quality microsurgical training and optimized use of surgeons' time and resources. In addition, the successful clinical integrat…

[BACKGROUND] Free flap breast reconstruction (FFBR) offers substantial benefits after mastectomy. However, the impact of operative time on outcomes remains unclear. [PATIENTS AND METHODS] In this retrospective cohort study, the American Co…

[BACKGROUND] Obesity's impact on postoperative outcomes in abdominoplasty remains poorly defined despite its rising prevalence. This study evaluates the effect of obesity on 30-day postoperative complications to inform risk assessment and m…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture (CC) is a common complication following implant-based breast surgery, often requiring surgical intervention. Yet, little is known about risk factors and outcomes following CC surgery. [METHODS] We reviewed…

Lymphatic reconstruction entails microsurgery of the smallest human vessels with little microsurgical error tolerance. Surgical outcomes are therefore tightly tied to microsurgical performances and can be restricted by physiologic tremor or…

[BACKGROUND] Risk-reducing mastectomy (RRM) with free flap breast reconstruction (FFBR) is increasingly utilized for breast cancer prevention. While its oncological benefits are well-established, data on perioperative safety remain limited.…

[BACKGROUND] Hypoalbuminemia, a biomarker of malnutrition, has been associated with adverse surgical outcomes;, however, its impact on breast reduction surgery is not yet well-documented. [METHODS] We queried the American college of surgeo…

Chronic, non-healing wounds represent a significant challenge for healthcare systems worldwide, often requiring significant human and financial resources. Chronic wounds arise from the complex interplay of underlying comorbidities, such as …

[BACKGROUND] Recent advancements in the development of robotic devices increasingly draw the attention toward the concept of robotic microsurgery, as several systems tailored to open microsurgery are being introduced. This study describes t…

[BACKGROUND] Subspecialty fellowship directors are essential to the selection and mentorship of trainees. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the gender and racial/ethnic diversity of fellowship directors across fellowship programs in …

[BACKGROUND] The increasing demand for gender-affirming surgery (GAS) in transgender and gender-diverse healthcare highlights the importance of breast augmentation surgery (BAS) for transfeminine patients. Despite its significance, there is…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation ranks among the most popular plastic surgery procedures. Yet, reports on post-operative patient-reported quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction remain conflicting. [METHODS] A systematic review was conducte…

[BACKGROUND] Reduction mammoplasty is popular among people of various age groups, yet the impact of age on postoperative outcomes remains debated. [METHODS] The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (20…

Free tissue transfer is widely used for the reconstruction of complex tissue defects. The survival of free flaps depends on the patency and integrity of the microvascular anastomosis. Accordingly, the early detection of vascular comprise an…

[BACKGROUND] The BREAST-Q questionnaire reduction module is an established tool for outcomes after reduction mammoplasty. [OBJECTIVES] This systematic review and meta-analysis assess key parameters affecting pre- and postoperative scores, …

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic breast surgery (CBS) can be subdivided into augmentation, mastopexy, reduction, and reconstruction. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze a multi-institutional national database to investig…

[BACKGROUND] Evidence of widespread disparities in healthcare for racial and ethnic minorities is well documented. This study aims to evaluate differences in surgical outcomes after breast reduction surgery (BRS) according to patients' ethn…

[BACKGROUND] Compromised lower limb perfusion due to vascular changes such as peripheral artery disease impedes wound healing and may lead to large-scale tissue defects and lower limb amputation. In such patients with defects and compromise…

[BACKGROUND] Irradiation therapy is an important pillar in the treatment of breast cancer. However, it can trigger capsular fibrosis, the most significant complication of implant-based breast reconstruction. As collagen is the main componen…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture remains the most frequent long-term complication after augmentation mammoplasty with silicone implants. Thereby, the main part of the fibrotic capsule is collagen. The collagenase of the bacterium Clostridi…

[BACKGROUND] The fibrotic capsule that surrounds silicone implants consists mainly of collagen. The FDA-approved collagenase of the bacterium clostridium histolyticum provides a reasonable treatment option. Safety and efficacy at the female…

[BACKGROUND] "Medical tourism" has gained popularity over the past few decades. This is particularly common with patients seeking elective cosmetic surgery in the developing world. However, the risk of severe and unusual infectious complica…

[PURPOSE] Capsular contracture is the most frequent long-term complication after implant-based breast reconstruction or augmentation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of implant surface properties on fibrotic capsule formati…

[BACKGROUND] The main part of the fibrotic capsule in capsular contracture is collagen. The collagenase of the bacterium Clostridium histolyticum is U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved for the treatment of Dupuytren contracture and m…

[INTRODUCTION] Abdominoplasty is being increasingly performed as an outpatient procedure. The role of tumescent technique in decreasing postoperative pain and hospital stay has not been extensively studied. [METHODS] We reviewed 65 consecu…

Plastic surgery is presently typified by the existence of discrete clinical identities, namely that of the cosmetic plastic surgeon and the reconstructive plastic surgeon. The emergence of vascularized composite allotransplantation has been…

[BACKGROUND] Face transplantation can provide improved quality of life to severely disfigured individuals. The unique challenges of face transplantation prompted much ethical discussion even before the first clinical case. Many deemed it un…

Composite tissue transplantation in reconstructing complex facial defects has developed tremendous interest over the recent years, since the first report of partial face transplantation performed in France in 2005. However, the controversy …
