Abstract
General purpose: To provide an evidence-based review of strategies for the prevention and management of wounds and postoperative scars following microsurgical autologous breast reconstruction.
Target audience: This continuing education activity is intended for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses with an interest in skin and wound care.
Learning objectives/outcomes: After participating in this educational activity, the participant will: 1. Identify operative considerations to promote wound healing in microsurgical autologous breast reconstruction. 2. Synthesize management strategies for major flap complications following microsurgical autologous breast reconstruction. 3. Explain features in the assessment, prevention, and treatment of scars following microsurgical autologous breast reconstruction.
期刊介绍:
A peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal, Advances in Skin & Wound Care is highly regarded for its unique balance of cutting-edge original research and practical clinical management articles on wounds and other problems of skin integrity. Each issue features CME/CE for physicians and nurses, the first journal in the field to regularly offer continuing education for both disciplines.
