Medical Publications

exploration of robotic direct to implant breast reconstruction

Dr. Scott Spiro and coauthor explore the feasibility of robotic direct-to-implant breast reconstruction following nipple-sparing mastectomy. Using a cadaveric model, the authors examine how robotic visualization, instrument precision, and remotely positioned access could help reduce incision-related tension while supporting accurate implant and acellular dermal matrix placement. The research presents an early proof of concept for advancing minimally invasive approaches to implant-based breast reconstruction and identifies areas for continued study and surgical refinement.

reconstruction of the lower extremity after grade iii distal tibial injuries using combined microsurgical free tissue transfer and bone transport by distraction osteosynthesis

Published in Annals of Plastic Surgery, this clinical study by Dr. Scott A. Spiro and colleagues examines an advanced limb-salvage approach for patients with severe Grade IIIB and IIIC distal tibial injuries. Five patients with extensive soft-tissue and bone loss underwent lower-extremity reconstruction combining microsurgical free-tissue transfer with bone transport through distraction osteosynthesis. At follow-up ranging from 17 to 34 months, all five patients were walking, fully weight-bearing, and free of pain, without requiring below-the-knee amputation. The study highlights the role of coordinated plastic surgery, microsurgery, and orthopedic reconstruction in preserving function after complex traumatic leg injuries.

simultaneous osseous genioplasty and meloplasty

Published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, this retrospective study coauthored by Dr. Scott A. Spiro examines combined chin reshaping and facelift surgery in 50 patients treated over a 20 year period. The researchers evaluated osseous genioplasty, which reshapes or repositions the chin bone, frequently performed with removal of fat beneath the chin. Techniques included chin advancement, lengthening, and reduction to address different facial proportions. The paper reviews surgical outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction, emphasizing the importance of avoiding excessive chin projection. The findings contribute to individualized surgical planning for facial rejuvenation by examining how changes to the underlying bone complement treatment of the surrounding soft tissues.

the use of the labiocolumellar crease incision in rhinoplasty

Published in Annals of Plastic Surgery, this study by Dr. Scott A. Spiro and colleagues reviews 100 consecutive rhinoplasty procedures, including primary, revision, cleft, and reconstructive nasal surgery. The researchers examine an open rhinoplasty technique using an incision in the crease where the columella, the tissue separating the nostrils, meets the upper lip. The paper discusses patient selection and the use of this approach across different surgical needs. No cases of impaired blood supply to the columella were reported in the series. The study emphasizes careful incision placement along anatomical boundaries to help make scars less noticeable.

color flow ultrasound for delineating microsurgical vessels: a clinical and experimental study

Published in Annals of Plastic Surgery, this 1993 letter coauthored by Dr. Scott A. Spiro responds to research on the use of color flow ultrasound to identify blood vessels for microsurgery.
