“Quantifying Postoperative Recovery using Wearable Activity Monitors following Abdominal Wall Surgery; The AbTech Trial.”
This work aimed to investigate the validity of Wearable Activity Monitors (WAMs) as an objective tool to measure the return towards normal functional mobility following abdominal wall surgery. This was achieved by quantifying and comparing pre- and postoperative physical activity (PA). (Source: Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery)

Scout Vein Graft – An intraoperative technique to assess the suitability of atherosclerotic donor arteries for free flap reconstruction
Free flap reconstruction of diabetic foot and its salvage is becoming more common. The combination of diabetes mellitus, post-infective lower extremity wounds, and peripheral vascular disease leads to a confluence of perilous factors, putting both limb and life at risk.1 The initial step in microvascular reconstruction is to assess the suitability of the donor artery, which is done clinically by palpating peripheral pulses, preoperatively with vascular imaging, and intraoperatively by examining the vessel characteristics and pulsatility of the donor artery.

Associations Between Prior COVID-19 Infection and Venous Thromboembolism Following Common Plastic Surgery Operations
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection has been described as a cause of systemic hypercoagulability and a risk factor for the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE). While some multi-specialty studies have proposed a link between COVID-19 and postoperative thrombosis, other, single-specialty studies have found no such association. We utilized a large, national database to determine whether prior COVID-19 infection was associated with the incidence of VTE following common plastic surgery operations.

Transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty with micro-autologous fat transplantation harvested from orbital fat pads for lower eyelid aging treatment
The aging process of lower eyelids results in lower eyelid wrinkles, tear troughs, and eye bags. Many therapies have been described for treatment of lower eyelid aging, and transcutaneous blepharoplasty is often used for treating cases with eyebags and dermatochalasis. However, it may cause depression near the medial orbit resulting in a hollowed look. In the present study, we developed an innovative method transferring the herniated fatty tissue to volume loss area during the surgical procedure of transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty by means of micro-autologous fat transplantation harvested from resected orbital fa...

Trend and Hotspots of Plastic Surgery Guidelines: A Bibliometric and Visualization Analysis
Plastic surgery guidelines help plastic surgeons in clinical decision-making, outlining acceptable approaches to diagnosis, management, and prevention. And it attempts to define principles of practice that should generally meet the needs of most patients in most cases of plastic surgery. Bibliometric analysis can identify developmental trends and key areas of study, offering valuable insights for shaping experimental strategies and funding decisions. Despite bibliometrics' successful use in other medical fields, its application to plastic surgery guidelines is unexplored. (Source: Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery)

Anatomy, evolution and clinical aspects of the superextended-intercompartimental-supraretinacular artery perforator flap (SISAP-flap): a proof of concept
Extended soft tissue defects of the fingers -nevertheless its origin- are challenging to treat. When amputates are missing or crush injuries are present, there are often only limited options other than further amputation, ray resection, or free tissue transplantation. The SISAP-flap is developed to add an extra option of treating finger avulsion injuries or otherwise extended soft tissue finger defects.

Ethnic Variation in Lower Face Anthropometry on Facial Computed Tomography Scans for Patients Seeking Facial Feminization Surgery
Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is the most common form of facial gender-affirming surgery. One of the current knowledge gaps is the understanding of racial group differences in baseline craniofacial norms for transgender and nonbinary patients.

Response to: “Impact of adjuvant radiochemotherapy on free flap volume in head and neck reconstruction still needs to be further verified”
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to transparently discuss our recently published work in the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery.1 Yan Wei and colleagues have raised several interesting concerns regarding our analysis and recommended further validation of our conclusions. We concur that additional, robust studies are indeed necessary to validate our findings. Nonetheless, we are confident that our meta-analysis provides qualitative and significant insights that can be integrated into the clinical decision-making process.

Neuromuscular Choristoma-Associated Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis of the Brachial Plexus: Additional Evidence to Support a Nerve-Driven Mechanism
We have recently described circumferential nerve involvement of neuromuscular choristoma associated with desmoid-type fibromatosis (NMC-DTF) in cases involving the sciatic nerve, supporting a nerve-derived mechanism for the DTF. We wondered whether a similar growth pattern occurs in cases involving the brachial plexus (BP). (Source: Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery)

“Impact of Marijuana on Masculinization Top Surgery Postoperative Complications: Single-Surgeon Single-Institutional Experience”
Given recent efforts to legalize and decriminalize recreational marijuana, its use has become increasingly common in patients seeking plastic and reconstructive procedures, including gender affirming surgery.1 Although the use of cannabis has generally been considered lower risk than other recreational substances, recent studies have suggested it may still be associated with an increased surgical complication rate.2 Moreover, individuals undergoing chest wall masculinization may exhibit higher rates of anxiety, depression, and marijuana usage.
