M oday, O cber 9, 2017 Numerous surgical techniques exist for the treatment of first carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis, however it unclear if outcomes differ between the available techniques. Our feasibility study aimed to determine the practicality of recruiting patients for, and performing, a larger-scale health-related quality of life and functional outcomes study comparing two surgical t...

M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 oncologic axillary and groin lymph node dissection. Vascularized lymph node transfer based on the omental flap has been proposed as a potential solution to lymphedema. However, literature characterizing the gastroepiploicbased omental flap and corresponding lymph nodes does not currently exist. The purpose of this study is to describe lymph node anatomy along the gastro...

M oday, M arch 7, 2017 reduction (SPAIR) mammaplasty. This technique utilizes an inferior pedicle, circumvertical skin resection pattern, and purse-string peri-areolar closure to achieve a stable and aesthetic breast shape. Late breast distortion from seroma formation is rare complication than may occur after an initially satisfactory result. Contraction of the seroma cavity may cause the surro...

M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 abdominally-based breast reconstruction free flaps, blood gas samples from the deep inferior epigastric vein (DIEV) and the superficial inferior epigastric vein (SIEV) are compared to systemic arterial and venous values. By doing so, the authors aim to demonstrate the direct impact of perforator selection on flap physiology. To our knowledge, no study to date has evalua...

M oday, M arch 7, 2017 PURPOSE: Restoration of breast sensation following breast reconstruction is an evolving part of the reconstructive paradigm. Although spontaneous recovery of sensation has been reported following mastectomy, surgeons are advocating for innervated reconstructions using neurotization at the time of autologous reconstruction. In an effort to further elucidate the evidence ba...

oday, most people try their first cigarette and become regular smokers as children. In Wisconsin, 83 percent of young adults (25 to 34 years) tried their first cigarette and 62 percent became regular smokers before they were 18 years old (Table 1). The percentage who begin smoking as children has increased dramatically over the last 50 years. This explains why smoking is now considered a “pedia...

Post-procedure, 7 patients (8.6%) reported swelling, and 5 (6.1%) required an oral course of methylprednisolone to reduce inflammation. No patients experienced the Tindell effect or contour abnormalities, and no patients required dissolution of filler. There were no instances of skin necrosis, tissue inju...

M oday, O cber 9, 2017 METHODS: Institution websites were used to acquire academic attributes of full-time academic plastic surgeons. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payment database, NIH reporter, the Plastic Surgery Foundation (PSF), and American Association of Plastic Surgeons (AAPS) websites were accessed for funding and endowment details. Bibliometric data of each ...

M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 CONCLUSIONS: Bitemporal to biparietal ratios are a quantitative, objective clinical measure that can be used to differentiate patients with significant trigonocephaly from those with metopic ridging but no significant cranial deformity. In no case of trigonocephaly did CT scan provide information that would alter surgical planning beyond that obtained from caliper measu...
