Beyond the Breast: Body Contouring in the Context of Abdominally Based Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction Open
With continued advances in abdominally based microsurgical breast reconstruction, the operative goal is no longer the creation of a simple breast mound but rather the formation of an aesthetically pleasing breast. While a substantial body …

Post-Breast Surgery Pain Syndrome: Shifting a Surgical Paradigm Open
Summary: Post-mastectomy pain syndrome and the less well-described post-breast surgery pain syndrome are long-term neuropathic pain conditions that may affect more than 50% of patients after mastectomy and breast surgery. While the etiolog…

Abstract: Umbilical Ablation During Abdominal Flap Harvest Decreases Donor Site Complications Open
PURPOSE: Donor site complications are a significant source of morbidity for patients undergoing deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction. Most studies have focused on post-operative hernias and bulges; however,…

Alternation between short‐ and long photoperiod reveals hypothalamic gene regulation linked to seasonal body weight changes in Djungarian hamsters (<i>Phodopus sungorus</i>) Open
Djungarian hamsters are able to reduce their body weight by more than 30% in anticipation of the winter season. This particular adaptation to extreme environmental conditions is primarily driven by a natural reduction in day length and con…

Distant blunt forceps dissection in tissue expander insertion: a novel technique Open
Tissue expansion using implantable expanders is a useful means of generating surplus tissue for reconstruction of defects such as scarring following burns. The authors describe their technique of incisions distant to the desired location o…

Non-Invasive Imaging of Preoperative Mapping of Superficial Veins in Free Flap Breast Reconstruction Open
Vascular anatomy is imperative in reconstructive surgery to ensure perfusion and accurate flap design, but venous anatomy can be difficult to determine preoperatively. Anatomic landmarks can be used to locate structures; however there can …
