Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Inframammary Fold Effacement Flap" with Devinder Singh, MD - Jun. 2026 Journal Club
Q: What are your thoughts and takeaways?
The study represents rare, well-controlled evidence in plastic surgery showing a positive, though not transformative, effect on scar quality; the methodology is robust, but clinical significance remains modest and context-dependent.
"Multiperforator Autologous Breasts" with Andrea L. Pusic, MD - May 2026 Journal Club
Q: Dr. Pusic, how do you interpret the findings of these results, and what were your initial thoughts upon reading these results?
Her initial view is that the study is interesting from a clinical standpoint, illustrating the trade-off between longer operative times with additional perforators and the potential downstream effects on recovery and costs, while stressing that outcomes were not necessarily worse with multiple perforators. She cautions against assuming equivalence in all scenarios and highlights the value of intraoperative judgment.
"Comparison between DTI and TE" with Andrea L. Pusic, MD - May 2026 Journal Club
Q: What are the most important factors for you in making this decision?
Factors include preoperative anatomy, flap perfusion, timing and coordination with breast surgeons, patient comorbidities, and the anticipated need for adjuvant therapy; surgeon-patient and surgeon-team relationships also play a role.
"Comparison between DTI and TE" with Andrea L. Pusic, MD - May 2026 Journal Club
Q: What is the approximate percentage of direct to implant versus stage tissue expanded reconstruction in your practice?
Approximately 20-30% direct-to-implant and 70-80% two-stage reconstruction, with preoperative factors like breast size and nipple-sparing status guiding the choice.
"Eliquis Abdominoplasty VTE Prophylaxis" with Bradley Hubbard, MD - Mar. 2026 Journal Club
Q: Dr. Hubbard, what are your main thoughts and takeaways on this article?
Dr. Hubbard emphasizes that the study is clinically relevant for abdominal plastic surgery, discusses practicalities of anticoagulation, and notes that while pixaban appears safe in their data, it may not be as effective as traditional agents; he also stresses the need for randomized data and better risk stratification, particularly around Caprini scores and patient selection.
