The Future Face of Surgery-Demographics of Students Interested in Surgery at an Academic Medical Center.

Background: The demographics of medical schools reveal a growing trend towards greater gender and underrepresented in medicine (UIM) representation among students, yet surgical residency lags behind. This study explores the demographics of first-year medical students (M1s) and their initial career interests.

Methods: A panel of faculty physicians and fourth-year medical students in surgical and nonsurgical specialties was held for M1s during orientation week.

Making surgical education intuitive: A surgical robotics primer for pre-clinical medical students.

Background: As robotic surgeries increase nationwide, residency programs are implementing commensurate curriculum. Medical student exposure and comfort with these surgeries, however, is lagging. This program sought to improve student interest and confidence through additional robotic exposure.

The Transoral Alar Batten Graft: A Functional Rhinoplasty Technique for the Orthognathic Jaw Surgery Patient.

Many patients seeking orthognathic jaw surgery also experience nasal obstruction. Current transoral functional rhinoplasty techniques include septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction, which are performed through the mouth after maxillary downfracture. Although powerful, these interventions do not treat dynamic nasal sidewall collapse.

Minimally Invasive Mandibular Microsurgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Unlabelled: Microsurgical advances have led to minimally invasive approaches for mandibular reconstruction. Currently, no resource compares all minimally invasive microvascular mandibular reconstruction (MIMMR) treatment options.

Methods: All known cases of MIMMR were identified following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews, Meta-Analyses guidelines, and our own surgical experience.
