Perioperative medication management is vital to maintain patient safety while under anesthesia, as well as to avoid postoperative complications. Plastic surgeons make daily decisions on whether to ask...
A PubMed database search was conducted for articles through July 2021. The bibliographies of included studies were also examined for articles not acquired in the initial search queries. The authors in...
A total of 801 papers were identified by our search terms. After title and abstract screening, 35 papers were selected for full-text review. After full-text review, 20 papers were selected for inclusi...
The perioperative medication management in elective plastic surgery procedures remains a complex and multidisciplinary process. It is important to manage these patients in a case-by-case manner and to...
To identify and describe unusual soft tissue complications of periodontal plastic surgery procedures at the recipient site after periodontal grafts....
Two independent reviewers performed a comprehensive search in MEDLINE, Cochrane, periodontics journals, reference lists, and grey literature for articles dated up to July 2021. Publications related to...
A total of 1434 articles were examined, of which 28 met the inclusion criteria: one RCT, two cohort studies, and twenty-five case reports/series. The periodontal plastic surgery procedures described i...
Bone exostosis and epithelial inclusions were the most prevalent unusual complications following treatment with subepithelial connective tissue graft, free gingival graft, and acellular dermal matrix ...
Clinicians need to know the main complications that can occur in mucogingival surgeries as well as their clinical management to provide a successful and predictable treatment....
Anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used to lower inflammation which is linked to a variety of disorders. It acts by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-mediated prostaglandin synthesis at the molecular level....
The relevant studies were searched in PubMed and screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality of full-text studies was assessed using suitable Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The overall es...
The overall estimate measures [OR 1.01 (0.50, 2.06)] have shown non-significant risk of hematoma with use of anti-inflammatory drugs in plastic surgery as compared to non-anti-inflammatory drugs. The ...
Based on available data, there is no significant risk of hematoma with use of anti-inflammatory drugs in plastic surgery....
This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the Table of Contents or the online Inst...
Cosmetic facial surgical procedures have become increasingly popular. Previous studies have shown an association between Internet searches for and volume of these procedures being performed. There is ...
Google Trends, a tool that collects and analyzes the results from Google, was used to identify the average search volumes of popular facial plastic surgery procedures between 2004 and 2020. The identi...
There were very weak to moderate correlations between relative search volume (RSV), the ratio of a query's search volume to the sum of the total search volume over a given time period, of procedures w...
This study showed that RSV for common cosmetic plastic surgery procedures did not significantly correlate with the number of procedures performed annually in the United States. More research is needed...
In recent years surgical robotic systems which were specifically developed for microsurgery have expanded the application of robotic-assisted surgery to plastic reconstructive surgery. Currently, ther...
Price transparency allows patients to estimate surgical procedure costs, which can affect where they elect to receive care and should theoretically result in hospitals setting lower and more uniform p...
This study included 54 randomly chosen public and private hospitals. Pricing information for 15 common plastic surgery-related procedures was compiled from their websites....
One year after the ruling went into effect, only 13% of hospitals were fully compliant with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requirements for reporting standard charges. The most commonly repo...
A comparative analysis of published prices provides a starting point for surgeons to recommend facilities to patients based on price. However, significant variability was observed in data presentation...
Microsurgical free tissue transfer has been successfully implemented for various reconstructive applications in children. The goal of this study was to identify the best available evidence on perioper...
A systematic review was conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases. Because a preliminary search of the pediatric microsurgical literature yielded scant data with a low le...
Two hundred four articles were identified, and 53 met inclusion criteria. Management approaches specific to the pediatric population were used to formulate recommendations. High-quality data were foun...
Pediatric-specific guidelines are important, as they acknowledge physiologic differences in children, which may be overlooked when extrapolating from adult studies. These evidence-based recommendation...
Although robotic surgery has been routinely established in other surgical disciplines, robotic technologies have been less readily adopted in plastic surgery. Despite a strong demand for innovation an...
Scientific leadership among women and underrepresented minorities is lacking in plastic surgery. It is unknown whether the underrepresentation of women and ethnic minorities extends into academic conf...
A retrospective analysis of all presentations from seven national and regional plastic surgery meetings between 2014 and 2018 was conducted. Gender, ethnicity, and academic rank of the first authors w...
A total of 4180 abstracts were presented by 3452 first authors. The majority of first authors were of European descent (53%), male (65%), and most commonly a resident physician (42%). Women were found...
Collectively, we present multilevel data that show a promising trend of increased female representation at national meetings. However, there appears to be a decline in ethnic diversity....
Many facial plastic and reconstructive surgery providers are interested in incorporating clinical trials into their own practice. Clinical trials in facial plastics have made key contributions to curr...
