Prospective Sensory Outcomes for Targeted Nipple Areola Complex Reinnervation (TNR) in Gender-Affirming Double Incision Mastectomy with Free Nipple Grafting.

Objective: This study analyses the anatomy and sensory outcomes of targeted nipple areola complex reinnervation (TNR) in gender-affirming double incision mastectomy with free nipple grafting (FNG).

Background: TNR is a novel technique to preserve and reconstruct intercostal nerves (ICN) to improve postoperative sensation. There is little evidence on relevant anatomy and outcomes.

Implementation of a New Surgeon Onboarding Program in an Academic-affiliated Community Hospital.

Best practices in onboarding are well-established, but surgeons frequently receive suboptimal introductions to new practice settings. At the same time, increasing regionalization of surgical programs and strategic alignments between academic and community hospitals have increased the demand for surgeons to practice at multiple sites with variable resources and institutional cultures. In response to this growing problem, we developed and implemented a surgeon onboarding program in an academic-affiliated community hospital.

Back Pain According to Roland-Morris Low Back Pain Scale After Abdominoplasty With Plication: A Prospective Case Series.

Introduction: Chronic back pain is a physically debilitating condition that affects more than 80% of adults in the United States. A recent case series highlighted how abdominoplasty with plication can offer an alternative surgical approach for treating chronic back pain. These results have been corroborated by a large prospective series.
