About
Jennifer M. McBride is a reconstructive surgeon whose work centers on perineal and pelvic reconstruction, with a particular focus on optimizing flap-based surgical techniques. Her most-cited paper, "Wide posterior gluteal-thigh propeller flap for reconstruction of perineal defects" (2020), reexamines the vascular anatomy of the gluteal-thigh flap, introducing a refined propeller design that improves reliability and reduces complications in patients undergoing abdominoperineal resection. This contribution addresses a critical need as minimally invasive approaches increasingly favor thigh-based flaps, yet traditional methods carry high morbidity. By clarifying the posterior perforator anatomy and proposing a wider, more robust flap design, McBride has advanced surgical outcomes in a challenging reconstructive niche. Though her citation count remains modest—reflecting the specialized nature of her field—her work directly impacts clinical practice for complex perineal defects. Her research bridges anatomical study and practical surgical innovation, offering reconstructive surgeons a safer, more effective option. For students and trainees in plastic and reconstructive surgery, McBride’s work exemplifies how revisiting established techniques with fresh anatomical insight can yield meaningful improvements in patient care.
