Smooth versus Textured Implant Breast Reconstruction: Patient-Reported Outcomes and Complications Open
Background: The association between textured surface breast implants and breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma has led to an increase in surgical procedures to exchange textured devices to smooth surface implants. Becaus…

Regional Patterns of Fluid and Fat Accumulation in Patients with Lower Extremity Lymphedema Using Magnetic Resonance Angiography Open
Background: Fat accumulation is frequently observed in patients with lymphedema but is not accounted for in existing staging systems. In addition, the specific regional patterns of fat and fluid accumulation remain unknown and might affect…

Hyperbaric Oxygen Preconditioning Can Reduce Postabdominoplasty Complications: A Retrospective Cohort Study Open
Background: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can improve wound healing and has been found to have positive preconditioning effects in animal models. Among esthetic surgical procedures, abdominoplasty poses the highest rate of postoperative…

The association between neck adiposity and long-term outcome Open
Anthropometric indices of obesity (e.g. body mass index, waist circumference and neck circumference) are associated with poor long-term cardiovascular outcome. Prior studies have associated neck circumference and central body adiposity. We…

Regulation of Immune Function by the Lymphatic System in Lymphedema Open
The lymphatic vasculature has traditionally been thought to play a passive role in the regulation of immune responses by transporting antigen presenting cells and soluble antigens to regional lymph nodes. However, more recent studies have …

Frequency of intra-abdominal organ injury is higher in patients with concomitant stab wounds to other anatomical areas Open
Patients with multi-regional stab wounds have an increased risk of intra-abdominal injury. Worldwide accepted "clinical follow up" protocol may not be appropriate in management of patients with multi-regional stab wounds.

Abstract 75: Less is More: The Use of Liposomal Bupivacaine in Patients Undergoing Autologous Breast Reconstruction Reduces the Need for Narcotics While Improving Pain Outcomes Open
PURPOSE: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a paradigm for improving perioperative care by implementing a series of interventions that decreases hospital length of stay and lowers opioid consumption. In plastic surgery, as in other …
