The association of these techniques with postoperative pain and pain control has garnered recent attention.

Exclusion criteria were age <18 years, <6 months of preoperative data, <1 month of postoperative data, bilateral TFR, and concomitant hand surgery. To identify wide-awake cases, patients with procedural codes for general anesthesia, monitored anesthesia care, sedation and regional blocks were excluded. Patients were stratified by surgical setting (office or operating room), then matched based on age, sex, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index score, and geographic region.

Overall, females represented 15.4% of all authors, 19.7% of first authors, and 11.3% of senior authors. Males had a significantly higher weighted RCR (P < 0.0001) and number of publications (P < 0.0001), which remained significant when stratified by first and senior author. Female authors collectively had a higher mean RCR (P = 0.008) and among first authors (P < 0.0001), with no significant difference among senior authors (P = 0.47).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>A considerably greater number of males are publishing in reconstructive microsurgery compared to females, with significantly more males being senior authors compared to first authors. Males had higher weighted RCR scores and publications compared to females. This study suggests that equity in gender authorship within the field is yet to be achieved.</p>","PeriodicalId":8060,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Plastic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141562525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
