DOI: 10.1007/s00266-021-02321-4
Abstract: Breast surgeons seem to agree on the fact that a same-day surgery (mastectomy and breast reconstruction) protocol provides appropriate cancer treatment during times of unprecedented resource limitations, such as in the COVID era. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2017.09.052
Abstract: Background: Midaortic syndrome (MAS) is a rare condition characterized by stenosis of the abdominal aorta. Patients with disease refractory to medical management will usually require either endovascular therapy or surgery with use of prosthetic graft… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/sur.2022.153
Abstract: Background: Infection is a common complication after tissue expander placement. Previously, we have demonstrated that a single dose of peri-operative antibiotic agents is sufficient to achieve an adequately low infection rate for implant exchange procedures.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/asj/sjx210
Abstract: Background While recent studies have reported modest to no difference in breast aesthetics for shaped and round implant types in breast augmentations, the anatomy and biomechanics in the setting of breast reconstruction is different. Objectives… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000007417
Abstract: Background: There is increased scrutiny of texturing on implants and a paucity of data looking at texturing on expanders. Because of the difficulty in controlling potential confounders with these comparative studies, the authors performed propensity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000009981
Abstract: Background: The paravertebral block (PVB) is an adjunctive perioperative pain control method for patients undergoing breast reconstruction that may improve perioperative pain control and reduce narcotic use. This study determined the efficacy of preoperative PVBs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000009987
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Staged implant-based breast reconstruction with immediate tissue expanders is the most common method of breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Tissue expanders traditionally are filled with saline for expansion. Some surgeons have advocated initial intraoperative fill… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000011588
Abstract: Background: The use of postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) in the setting of immediate 2-stage breast reconstruction is becoming increasingly widespread. However, the timeframe of tissue expander exchange for permanent implant placement following PMRT is not… read more here.
