idealized reconstructive approaches. He also conducted one of the few randomized, controlled trials in the reconstruction discipline. He dispelled the microsurgery myth that Dextran improves flap outcomes and demonstrated an increased risk of perioperative complications. Dextran is no longer used at MSK or most other centers. Dr. Disa is internationally recognized as a leader in microsurgical breast and head and neck reconstruction. Dr. Babak Mehrara joined the faculty in 2002 having completed a microsurgical fellowship at UCLA under the direction of the late William Shaw. Dr. Mehrara has been instrumental in developing perforator flap reconstruction techniques at MSK. He has also developed our lymphedema research program and together with Dr. Dayan serves as co-director of the clinical lymphedema management team. Dr. Mehrara’s innovative research has helped elucidate the pathophysiology of lymphedema and this knowledge has led to direct translational projects. In 2016, Dr. Mehrara was appointed Chief of the service. Dr. Colleen McCarthy completed her fellowship at MSK and joined the faculty in 2007. Dr. McCarthy is a recognized national leader in outcomes studies and has served as the chairperson and primary investigator for a number of national clinical projects including ‘PROFILE (Patient Registry and Outcomes for Breast Implants and Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) Etiology and Epidemiology) study’. Memorial Sloan Kettering sets a new standard for outpatient cancer surgery with the newly opened Josie Robertson Surgery Center, the first-of-its-kind freestanding facility on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. 4 Dr. Evan Matros completed his microsurgical fellowship at MSK in 2010 and has played a key role in our Head and Neck reconstruction efforts and health disparity research in patients who undergo breast reconstruction. He has developed FACE-Q Oncology a PRO specific for head and neck reconstruction, introduced CAD/CAM modeling for shaping complex osseus free flaps as well as published a number of highly cited manuscripts on breast reconstruction outcomes and socioeconomic factors. Dr. Joseph Dayan completed his microsurgery fellowship at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan and joined the faculty in 2014. Dr. Dayan is an internationally recognized figure in microsurgical reconstruction for lymphedema and has published extensively in this area. Working together with Dr. Mehrara, Dr. Dayan has developed a unique lymphedema treatment program at MSK combining state of the art basic science research with world class microsurgery. Dr. Robert Allen joined the faculty here at MSK in 2016. He completed his residency training in plastic surgery at NYU Langone Medical Center’s Department of Plastic Surgery. Subsequently, Dr. Allen completed a microsurgery fellowship at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan. His clinical interest include microsurgical breast reconstruction, head and neck reconstruction and lymphedema surgery. Dr. Jonas Nelson completed his microsurgery fellowship at MSK. His plastic surgery training was obtained at the University of Pennsylvania where he established a health outcomes research database leading to many successful publications and Our plastic and reconstructive surgeons perform hundreds of complex reconstructions each year as part of an integrated oncologic team. presentations. He was subsequently recruited as a faculty member starting his practice in 2017. Dr. Michelle Coriddi completed her microsurgery fellowship at MSK. Her plastic surgery training was obtained at the Ohio State University where she published on novel treatments for lymphedema. She was subsequently recruited as a faculty member starting her practice in 2018. Working with Dr. Dayan and Dr. Mehrara, Dr. Coriddi has helped to grow the lymphedema treatment program at MSK, working to study and expand surgical methods to prevent lymphedema. Dr. Carrie Stern joined the MSK Plastic Surgery Faculty after completing her Microsurgery Fellowship in 2019. She completed her plastic surgery residency at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, NY. During her training, she dedicated a year to plastic surgery research using innovative and novel technology in clinical care and operative planning. She was recruited to join the faculty at MSK to modernize patient education, to optimize data management and to integrate technology in patient care and research. Dr. Farooq Shahzad joined MSK in 2019. After completing his fellowship at MSK in 2016, he joined Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago and established a pediatric microsurgery and replantation program. Dr. Shahzad is faculty at several academic medical centers in Pakistan where he operates and teaches plastic surgeons and residents. MSK fellows have the opportunity to accompany him and get exposure to complex reconstruction at a high acuity and high-volume center in Pakistan. 5 6 Robert J.
