Although nerve perfusion is currently guided by morphologic characteristics, this assessment is subjective and prone to bias. Intraoperative fluorescence-assisted perfusion imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) is an established tool in flap and lymphatic surgery to objectively assess perfusion intraoperatively. However, only a few unspecific applications of ICG in peripheral nerve surgery have been published so far. In this study, we performed intraoperative perfusion imaging using ICG in 16 consecutive operations within the peripheral nervous system, including microsurgical reconstructions after obstetric brachial plexus injury, decompression for NCS, and vascularized ulnar nerve interposition transfers. Our findings show the utility of ICG in delineating healthy perfusion borders at proximal and distal stump levels after neuroma resection, and we demonstrate a correlation between histological findings and these clinically observed perfusion patterns. In NCS cases, we demonstrate that ICG imaging is effective in highlighting reduced perfusion predecompression and improved perfusion postdecompression. Additionally, ICG proved valuable for assessing perfusion of free vascularized nerve grafts. Intraoperative ICG perfusion imaging is a valuable tool during surgery of the peripheral nervous system, providing insights into the etiopathogenesis of NCS and aiding in the visualization of perfusion. This study underscores the potential of ICG in nerve surgery and its applicability for improving surgical outcomes and advancing our understanding of peripheral nerve pathologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":20149,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11537564/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142591442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Need for Higher Levels of Evidence in Plastic Surgery.","authors":"Jennifer Wang, Charles Schafer, Thomas Steele, Jeffrey E Janis, Albert Losken","doi":"10.1097/GOX.0000000000006263","DOIUrl":"10.1097/GOX.0000000000006263","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Evidence-based medicine in plastic surgery is essential to provide optimal care to individual patients. Level of evidence (LOE) and number of citations are metrics used to gauge quality of research and impact within a field, respectively. The objective of this study was to determine an association between LOE and number of citations within recently published articles in <i>Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery</i> (PRS).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A review of original research articles published in PRS from January 2018 to June 2022 was performed. LOE was identified through the PRS website, and the number of citations identified via PubMed. Articles were further divided into sections of their corresponding topic.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 965 articles were reviewed, of which 21 (2.2%) were articles assigned level I evidence. There were 147 (15.2%) level II articles, 360 (37.3%) level III articles, 377 (39.1%) level IV articles, and 60 (6.2%) level V articles. The average number of citations per article was 2.72, and the average LOE of all included articles was 3.31. Level I articles had an average of 4.95 citations, whereas level II, III, IV, and V articles had averages of 2.95, 2.54, 2.64, and 2.71, respectively. Breast articles were cited on average 3.85 times each, more than any other type of article.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our data show that articles assigned level I evidence in PRS trend toward higher numbers of citations compared with articles assigned lower LOEs. These findings should encourage investigators to publish high-quality research to advance the field of plastic surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":20149,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11537568/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142591447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
