Meshed Acellular Dermal Matrix for Two-Staged Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction: An Institutional Experience Open
The introduction of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) to breast reconstruction has allowed surgeons to reexplore the prepectoral implant placement technique in postmastectomy breast reconstruction. Our institution adopted a novel approach usin…

Prepectoral Tissue Expander Placement for Breast Reconstruction Using Meshed Acellular Dermal Matrix--An Institutional Experience Open
INTRODUCTION: Prepectoral tissue expansion is made possible with the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM). Prepectoral reconstruction eliminates the risk of animation deformities, decreases operative time, and minimizes postoperative pain.…

Cherubism in a 4-year-old boy managed with tumor curettage, mandibular osteotomies and repositioning Open
Cherubism is a rare disease characterized by significant loss of medullary bone which is replaced by excessive amounts of fibrous tissue growth within the mandible and maxilla. We present a case of a 4-year-old boy with a rapidly enlarging…

Operative Start Time Does Not Affect Post-Operative Infection Risk Open
Our data suggest that operative start times have no correlation with post-operative infectious complications. Further work is required to identify the source of the time-dependent outcome variability observed in previous studies.

Obesity Is Not Associated with Antimicrobial Treatment Failure for Intra-Abdominal Infection Open
Background: Obesity and commonly associated comorbidities are known risk factors for the development of infections. However, the intensity and duration of antimicrobial treatment are rarely conditioned on body mass index (BMI). In particul…
