Introduction
There has been an increasing use of postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) in breast cancer patients, especially in cases of large tumors (T3 or greater) or node-positive disease (N1 or greater).1 When radiation for the treatment of breast cancer is expected, tissue-based breast reconstruction is generally preferred to implant-based reconstruction. This distinction is attributed to the high rate of complications with postoperative radiation after implant-based reconstruction, ranging from 20% to 70%.2
In cases when the need for radiation is likely, breast reconstruction with autologous tissue is typically deferred until the completion of the radiation therapy. Reasons for deferring include avoiding …

Background
Anterior spinal exposures performed by spine or vascular surgeons have a known complication rate of 2-11%. We present the largest single institution experience of anterior spinal exposures performed by Acute Care Surgeons.
The purpose of this study was to characterize the incidence of vascular and visceral injuries during spinal exposures and to identify risk factors contributing to operative complications during the exposure. We hypothesized that patients with a BMI >30 as well as low-volume surgeons (<20 >operations) would have an increased complication rate.

Background:
Esophagectomy is a procedure that carries considerable morbidity. Many studies have evaluated factors to predict patients at risk and improve clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine whether the SAS predicts complications, length of stay, and anastomotic leak for patients undergoing esophagectomy at a high-volume institution.

Background:
The purpose of this study is to review the efficacy of Target Specific Oral Anticoagulants (TSOAC) versus vitamin K antagonist (VKA) for post-surgical anticoagulation in patient with primary subclavian vein thrombosis. Rivaroxaban, a factor Xa inhibitor, was the first TSOAC approved by the FDA in 2012 for the treatment and prevention of deep vein thrombosis. However, the efficacy and safety of TSOAC for prevention of recurrent deep vein thrombosis after revascularization of upper extremity compression syndromes is largely unknown.

Background:
Dual kidney transplantation (DKT) of expanded criteria donors is a cost intensive procedure to help increase the pool of available deceased organ donors. In studies to day, expanded criteria single kidney (eSKT) or dual kidney transplantation (DKT) have demonstrated equivalence, but a more rigorous allocation system is needed to optimize limited resources for improved operative outcomes.
