BACKGROUND: There has been a recent increase in the number and complexity of quality improvement studies in plastic surgery. To assist with the development of thorough quality improvement reporting practices, with the goal of improving the transferability of these initiatives, we conducted a systematic review of studies describing the implementation of quality improvement initiatives in plastic surgery. We used the SQUIRE 2.0 (Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence) guideline to appraise the quality of reporting of these initiatives...

UNLABELLED: Restoration of function and complication management after pharyngolaryngectomy remains a challenging task. The aim of our study was to compare the functional and clinical outcomes of pharyngolaryngeal and pharyngoesophageal reconstruction using free flaps, namely jejunal (FJF), anterolateral thigh, and radial forearm, and describe a reconstructive approach for these defects following tumor resection. METHODS: We performed a systematic literature review on PubMed (Medline), Embase and Cochrane Library over the last two decades for articles reporting the surgical reconstructive modalities available after total or partial pharyngeal and/or laryngeal resection using a structured search strategy and strict inclusion and elimination criteria...

UNLABELLED: The medial femoral condyle free flap serves as an attractive reconstructive option for small- to intermediate-sized bony defects. It is commonly applied in the extremities with limited reports in the head and neck. METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. RESULTS: Seventeen articles met inclusion criteria, yielding 166 cases for analysis, with a majority of the cohort from a single study (n = 107; 64...

BACKGROUND: There is a mounting body of evidence that underscores the worldwide and US national need for increased plastic surgery recruitment of trainees. Thus, plastic surgery must attract more applicants while maintaining the high-level qualifications of residency candidates. METHODS: A total of 250 (w = 197) medical students rated the prototypical plastic surgeon (PS), general practitioner (GP), and craniomaxillofacial surgeon (CMF) with respect to traits derived from a literature review on the general perception of surgery, favorability, and their intention to pursue a respective career...

OBJECTIVES: Professionals in the United Kingdom providing care to new families affected by cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) had to adapt to ensure families' needs were met during a time of uncertainty due to Covid-19. The aims of this study were to explore the impacts of the pandemic on CL/P care provision for new families from the perspectives of professionals working in medical and community settings along with any personal impact on professionals and their reflections on the future of CL/P care...

UNLABELLED: Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a significant health problem that confers lifelong impact on those injured. Current interventions are purely surgical; however, outcomes remain poor. There is a lack of high-quality epidemiological data that is needed to identify populations involved, current healthcare demands, and ensure resources are distributed to the greatest effect, to reduce the injury burden. METHODS: Anonymized hospital episode statistical (HES) data on admitted patient care was obtained from NHS Digital for all National Health Service (NHS) patients sustaining PNI of all body regions between 2005 and 2020...

BACKGROUND: Nanotechnology and nanomedicine are rising novel fields in plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS). The use of nanomaterials often goes with regenerative medicine. Due to their nanoscale, these materials stimulate repair at the cellular and molecular levels. Nanomaterials may be placed as components of nanocomposite polymers allowing enhancement of overall biochemical and biomechanical properties with improved scaffold properties, cellular attachment, and tissue regeneration...

OBJECTIVE: The current study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction level of parents from telemedicine use in the long-term follow-up of children operated for craniosynostosis during the COVID-19 pandemic. DESIGN: A cross-sectional 9-question survey analysis using Qualtrics survey software. SETTING: An institutional study carried out at a national, tertiary level academic center in the Slovak Republic. PATIENTS: All patients operated for non-syndromic and syndromic craniosynostosis in our department, who participated in the virtual postoperative follow-up consultations from March 23, 2020, through July 2, 2021, were included in our series...

OBJECTIVE: Pain management strategies following palatoplasty vary substantially. Despite efforts to reduce narcotic utilization, specific analgesic regimens are typically guided by surgeon preference. Our aim was to define analgesic variables that affect postoperative narcotic use and time to resumption of oral intake. DESIGN: This is a retrospective review from 2015 to 2018. PATIENTS: Nonsyndromic patients undergoing primary palate repair...

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of physical appearance perfectionism (PAP) in individuals seeking blepharoplasty would be meaningful. This study aimed to explore the relationship of demographic and psychological variables with PAP in blepharoplasty patients and further investigate the impact of blepharoplasty on PAP in these patients. METHODS: This prospective observational study included 153 patients undergoing blepharoplasty between October 2017 and June 2019. Demographic and psychological variables, and PAP, were collected preoperatively...

BACKGROUND: Nutritional status may be impaired in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing surgical treatment, often necessitating gastrostomy tube (G-tube) placement. Identifying which patients will require a G-tube remains a challenge. This study identifies predictors of G-tube requirement in patients undergoing tumor resection and reconstruction with pedicled or free flaps. METHODS: Systematic review of the PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus databases was performed of English language articles, discussing risk factors of perioperative G-tube placement among patients >18 years...

UNLABELLED: Nasal fractures represent the most common fracture in facial trauma. The role of prophylactic antibiotics in these injuries is debated, given low infection rates and demonstrated risks of antibiotics. We studied the isolated effect of prophylactic antibiotics on infection rate in patients with nasal fracture after closed reduction. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of a prospectively maintained facial trauma database was conducted. Demographics, comorbidities, fracture classifications, and management of patients who received antibiotics at the time of closed nasal reduction were compared against those who did not receive antibiotics...

UNLABELLED: Over the past 10 years, smartphones have become ubiquitous, and mobile apps serve a seemingly endless number of functions in our everyday lives. These functions have entered the realm of plastic surgery, impacting patient care, education, and delivery of services. This article reviews the current uses of plastic surgery mobile apps, app awareness within the plastic surgery community, and the ethical issues surrounding their use in patient care. METHODS: A scoping review of electronically available literature within PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases was conducted in two waves in November and May 2022...

UNLABELLED: There are over 43 million individuals in the world who are blind. As retinal ganglion cells are incapable of regeneration, treatment modalities for this condition are limited. Since first incepted in 1885, whole-eye transplantation (WET) has been proposed as the ultimate cure for blindness. As the field evolves, different aspects of the surgery have been individually explored, including allograft viability, retinal survival, and optic nerve regeneration. Due to the paucity in the WET literature, we aimed to systematically review proposed WET surgical techniques to assess surgical feasibility...

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) represents an emerging field of surgery. 3DP can facilitate the plastic surgeon's workflow, including preoperative planning, intraoperative assistance, and postoperative follow-up. The broad clinical application spectrum stands in contrast to the paucity of research on the legal framework of 3DP. This imbalance poses a potential risk for medical malpractice lawsuits. To address this knowledge gap, we aimed to summarize the current body of legal literature on medical 3DP in the US legal system...
