De-Epithelialization Versus Pedicle De-Skinning In Reduction Mammoplasty: Comparative Outcomes From The Literature, Samantha Fry, Karina Vizzoni
De-Epithelialization Versus Pedicle De-Skinning In Reduction Mammoplasty: Comparative Outcomes From The Literature, Samantha Fry, Karina Vizzoni

Background- Reduction mammoplasty treats symptomatic macromastia. A key step involves pedicle preparation before breast mound reconstruction. Two main techniques include: De-epithelialization: Removes epidermis, preserves dermis, De-skinning: Excises both epidermal and dermal layers. Evidence comparing surgical outcomes between these techniques is limited.
Hypothesis- De-epithelialization will result in fewer vascular complications but longer operative times than de-skinning; thus, superiority depends on case selection.
Methods- A literature review identified studies on skin removal techniques in breast reduction mammoplasty.
Results- De-skinning was faster than de-epithelialization, though energy-assisted modalities were fastest. Nipple–areola complex (NAC) ischemia and necrosis rates were low across all methods. Superficial de-epithelialization …

Fat grafting (FG) and liposuction are widely performed aesthetic procedures with associated fat embolism risks. However, no comprehensive review has specifically mapped the anatomical distribution and technical causes of fat embolism events across these procedures. This review aims to characterize regional and procedural frequencies of fat embolism to inform safer surgical practices. A review was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane. Included studies were English-language case reports/series, retrospective reviews, and systematic analyses reporting fat embolism following liposuction or FG. Among 227 FG cases, the most frequent regions were the face (n=120), gluteal region (n=91), genitalia (n=9), and chest (n=7). …

Impact Of Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block On Septoplasty: A Meta-Analysis, Ayman Khatib, Jonathan Elias, Sami Dakhel, Piotr Domaszewski, Andrew Atschinow, Alexander King

Objective: This Meta-Analysis aims to explore the impact of sphenopalatine ganglion block on intraoperative blood loss, duration of surgery, and postoperative pain.
Background: Sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) is a form of regional anesthesia that could be coupled with general anesthesia in Septoplasty. Septoplasty is one of the three most common procedures Otolaryngologists perform, which is commonly performed endoscopically. There is lack of research on benefits of Sphenopalatine ganglion block on septoplasty. One of the most common complications of septoplasty is excessive bleeding which may impact endoscopic visualization. Additionally, postoperative pain management is vital to decreasing hospital stay and …

Panniculectomy Performed In Conjunction With Gynecologic Surgery In The Morbidly Obese Patient - A Nsqip Analysis And Meta-Analysis Of The Literature, Shayoni Nag, Tirth Patel, Steven C. Bonawitz

Purpose: Panniculectomy is a common procedure in plastic surgery, often performed following massive weight loss and in morbidly obese patients. It can be performed in combination with various gynecologic procedures based on the rational that it will reduce complication rates.1, 2, 3 These studies fail to provide proof of these claims for reasons including study design and the lack of inclusion of both morbidly obese and non-morbidly obese patients. Recent medical practice has focused increasingly on minimizing patient morbidity and trends in reimbursement are moving towards penalizing practices which increase complications.
Methods/Results:We reviewed the NSQIP database to assess …
