Conflict of Interest at Microsurgery Conferences: Disclosure of Its Extent and Nature
Conclusion Payments to physicians at ASRM were significantly higher than those of an average plastic surgeon but not significantly different from those of speakers at ASAPS and ASPS. Certain companies paid significantly more than their peers at each conference. Given these findings, speakers should strive to make clear the nature and extent of their conflicts of interest when presenting at conferences.

The Versatility of the DCIA Free Flap: A Forgotten Flap? Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion The DCIA free flap has shown to be a versatile reconstructive alternative for head and neck and short-medium size limb defects. However, the complexity of functions, the recipient site location, and a potential large defect can detract from the use of the DCIA free flap as an initial reconstructive option for head and neck and extensive limb defects.

Does Surgeon Training Affect Patient Perception of Surgeon Skill in DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction?
Conclusion Surgeon's experience influences whether a patient is likely to seek care from a plastic surgeon. Personal history of breast cancer has a negative impact on perceived surgeon competence as well as patient recruitment likelihood and referral likelihood. Emphasizing fewer years of training or Ivy League training did not make an appreciable difference in patient perception of competence or likelihood of recruiting a new patient.
