Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to determine if children with craniosynostosis have higher rates of nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) and to identify potential risk factors.
  • A retrospective review was conducted on 767 craniosynostosis patients over 11 years, finding that NLDO occurred in 6.2% of participants, with higher rates in those with genetic or syndromic associations.
  • The findings suggest that NLDO is more prevalent in this population compared to the general public, particularly among females and patients with certain genetic variants, highlighting the need for ophthalmic evaluations in craniosynostosis patients.

This study aimed to determine whether there is a difference in free flap failure based on the decision to undergo immediate versus delayed autologous tissue breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for breast free flap procedures performed between 2015 and 2020. This study demonstrates that the decision to undergo immediate versus delayed autologous tissue breast reconstruction does not have a significant association with free flap failure.
