Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) adds another layer of coordination to comprehensive breast cancer care. To optimize health outcomes for patients seeking IBR, it is essential to efficiently coordinate the temporal sequence of care modalities inclusive of reconstruction. <b>Methods:</b> In this cross-sectional study, patients undergoing IBR following complete or partial mastectomy at one health centre from 2015 to 2021 were included. Patients were categorized into two main groups defined by the first treatment modality received, namely surgery first and Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy. Primary outcome measures were wait times for diagnostic investigations, initiation of treatment, and transitions between therapeutic modalities. <b>Results:</b> Of 195 patients, 158 underwent surgery first, and 37 underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Median wait time from first consultation to first treatment initiated in the neoadjuvant cohort was shorter by 11.5 days as compared to the Surgery First cohort (21.5 +/- 19 vs 33.0 +/- 28 days; <i>P</i> = 0.001). Twenty-three (82%) of the surgery first and 11 (38%) of the neoadjuvant cohort patients waited longer than 8 weeks for initiation of radiotherapy (<i>P</i> = 0.001).

However, the emergence of regional and local anesthesia, otherwise known as Wide-awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet, provides an alternative approach where general anesthesia is undesirable. The choice of anesthetic approach resides with clinicians, though it is important to factor in the evidence that regional/local provides not only an alternative anesthesia approach but also potentially avoids comorbidities associated with general anesthesia. This study hypothesizes that the use of local/regional anesthesia for phalanx fracture/dislocation has comparable outcomes to general anesthesia and provides for fewer adverse events. <b>Methods:</b> To answer the research purpose, the investigators designed and implemented a retrospective cohort study of consecutive cases reported to the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019. The study population included patients in the NSQIP database who underwent operative fixation of a phalanx fracture or dislocation in 2 cohorts, those with local/regional anesthesia or general anesthesia.

The use of these incentives, however, remains controversial as they may cause patients to overlook risks associated with research participation. This concern is amplified in the context of plastic surgery where aesthetic procedures are often more desirable and are not typically covered by public or private insurance plans. Despite this, the ethical debate regarding the use of incentives has largely been absent from plastic surgery journals; therefore, efforts to summarize the existing literature in the context of plastic surgery are necessary. <b>Methods:</b> A narrative review of the peer-reviewed published literature was performed to identify existing articles pertaining to financial incentives in plastic surgery-related health research. <b>Results:</b> While incentives have the potential to improve sample sizes and promote the recruitment of under-represented patient populations, undue inducement and biased recruitment are possible. At present, there exists a paucity of empirical evidence to substantiate this. Efforts should be taken by investigators and research ethics boards (REBs) to limit the potential negative impacts of monetary compensation. Investigators should place reasonable limits on the value of incentives as well as select models associated with lower risks of undue influence and enrollment bias. When financial remuneration is offered, additional care should be taken by investigators to ensure participants are adequately informed of the risks associated with research participation. <b>Conclusion:</b> Current best practice recommendations suggest that proposals submitted to REBs justify the incentives used.
