Surgeon cost feedback through a surgical receipt program reduces cost in sinonasal surgery.

Background: Operating room (OR) costs are a large portion of healthcare expenses. This study evaluates the impact of a surgeon-targeted surgical receipt cost feedback system on OR supply costs in sinonasal surgery and individual components contributing to procedural cost.

Methods: Itemized weekly surgical receipts detailing individual case supply costs were analyzed before and after the implementation of a non-incentivized surgeon cost feedback system between January 2017 and June 2019.

Differences in Complication Rates of Gluteoplasty Procedures That Utilize Autologous Fat Grafting, Implants, or Local Flaps.

Background: Gluteoplasty (gluteal augmentation) procedures are increasing in popularity, but there is not a universally accepted technique to produce optimal outcomes while minimizing risk. In this systematic review, we perform a meta-analysis to evaluate rates of complication from autologous fat grafting, implants, and local flaps, which are the three most common gluteoplasty operations.

Methods: A search of the PubMed/MEDLINE database for articles including the terms "gluteoplasty" OR "gluteal augmentation" OR "buttock augmentation" OR "Brazilian butt lift" OR "gluteal autologous fat graft" OR "buttock autologous fat graft" OR "gluteal implant" OR "buttock implant" OR "gluteal flap" OR "buttock flap" generated 229 articles.
