The "Pfizer Boob Job": A Case of Unexplained Gigantomastia.

True parenchymal breast changes following COVID-19 vaccination are exceedingly rare. Equally rare are incidences of pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH)-associated gigantomastia. The patient in this case report presented with both occurrences and experienced massive breast enlargement 1 week postadministration of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, which worsened after her second dose.

Surgeon Sex and Health Care Costs for Patients Undergoing Common Surgical Procedures.

Importance: Prior research has shown differences in postoperative outcomes for patients treated by female and male surgeons. It is important to understand, from a health system and payer perspective, whether surgical health care costs differ according to the surgeon's sex.

Objective: To examine the association between surgeon sex and health care costs among patients undergoing surgery.

Stable rates of operative treatment of distal radius fractures in Ontario, Canada: a population-based retrospective cohort study (2004–2013).

Background: Rates of surgical management of distal radius fractures are increasing internationally despite the higher cost and limited outcome evidence to support this shift. This study examines the epidemiology of distal radius fractures and asks if the same shift has occurred in Ontario, Canada (population 13.9 million).

Disposal of Paper Records Containing Personal Information in Hospitals.

This study assessed the presence, amount, and sensitivity of personally identifiable information and personal health information found in hospital recycling bins in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Effect of Home Monitoring via Mobile App on the Number of In-Person Visits Following Ambulatory Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: In the age of information and patient-centered care, new methods of delivering postoperative care must be developed and evaluated.

Objective: To determine whether follow-up care delivered via a mobile app can be used to avert in-person follow-up care visits compared with conventional, in-person follow-up care in the first 30 days following ambulatory surgery.

Design, Setting, And Participants: A randomized clinical trial was conducted from February 1 to August 31, 2015, among ambulatory patients undergoing breast reconstruction at an academic ambulatory care hospital.

Shifting Autologous Breast Reconstruction into an Ambulatory Setting: Patient-Reported Quality of Recovery.

Background: As bundled payment models gain popularity, it is imperative that providers use patient outcomes and patient experience to define evidence-based pathways of care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of recovery experienced by women undergoing early discharge (<24 hours) after autologous breast reconstruction with a pedicled flap and determine predictors of postoperative quality of recovery.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed on all women undergoing autologous breast reconstruction at Women's College Hospital between September of 2011 and July of 2013 that met study inclusion criteria.

The effect of mobile app home monitoring on number of in-person visits following ambulatory surgery: protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Women's College Hospital, Toronto, Canada, offers specialized ambulatory surgical procedures. Patients often travel great distances to undergo surgery. Most patients receiving ambulatory surgery have a low rate of postoperative events necessitating clinic visits.

Replacing ambulatory surgical follow-up visits with mobile app home monitoring: modeling cost-effective scenarios.

Background: Women's College Hospital (WCH) offers specialized surgical procedures, including ambulatory breast reconstruction in post-mastectomy breast cancer patients. Most patients receiving ambulatory surgery have low rates of postoperative events necessitating clinic visits. Increasingly, mobile monitoring and follow-up care is used to overcome the distance patients must travel to receive specialized care at a reduced cost to society.
