To investigate the complications, along with their diagnosis and management, that follow local excision for rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy. The clinical data of 53 patients with rectal cancer who underwent local resection after ne…

[BACKGROUND] Pain is an important issue in botulinum toxin injection. Vibration anesthesia is a noninvasive method for pain alleviation, but few studies have reported its use during botulinum toxin injection. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this s…

[INTRODUCTION] Improper use of botulinum neurotoxin may result in poisoning. This study aimed to investigate the causes, characteristics, and risk factors of iatrogenic botulism incidents in China. [METHODS] Patients diagnosed with iatroge…

[BACKGROUND] Inconsistent and suboptimal outcomes in secondary cleft lip deformity repairs stem from the absence of a standardized classification system for nasolabial deformities, causing surgeons to rely heavily on their experience to det…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous cartilage has been extensively employed in nasal tip plasty procedures. Nevertheless, long-term resorption rates of autologous cartilage grafts, particularly on the nasal tip, remain uncertain to surgeons worldwide. …

Secondary unilateral cleft lip (UCL) rhinoplasty is challenging for plastic surgeons, and therefore there are still risks of complications and the need for revision. In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis for pati…

[BACKGROUND] East Asian patients with unilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity (UCLND) have severe septal deviated. An innovated septal reconstruction method using both perpendicular plate of ethmoid (PPE) and cartilage septum may improve v…

[BACKGROUND] In rhinoplasty, using the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid (PPE) as a graft offers advantages such as strong support and avoiding costal cartilage use, but identifying a safe harvesting area (inferior one-third portion) is ch…

[BACKGROUND] The increased demand for non-surgical rhinoplasty using hyaluronic acid (HA) has given impetus to explore more injection techniques and has also placed a higher demand on the coping of complications. [OBJECTIVES] The purpose o…

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic surgery is becoming increasingly popular, but not all patients are suitable candidates. A thorough preoperative assessment and careful patient selection are essential for achieving successful outcomes. Given the challe…

[BACKGROUND] Early identification of patients requiring ventilator support will be beneficial for the outcomes of botulism. The present study aimed to establish a new scoring system to predict mechanical ventilation (MV) for botulism patien…

[BACKGROUND] The purpose of the study was to comprehensively review the improvement in nasal airway obstruction after secondary rhinoplasty for cleft lip. [METHODS] The search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases for relev…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging plastic surgeries because it lacks a uniform standard for preoperative design or implementation. For a long time, rhinoplasties were done without an accurate consensus of aesthetic des…

[BACKGROUND] The demand for rhinoplasty in Asia is growing annually, and short nose deformity has been one of the main reasons for the surgery due to its high incidence. There is an urgent need for rhinoplasty suitable for Asians because of…

[BACKGROUND] Paranasal augmentation has been a popular approach in restoring Asian patients' lateral profile. Irregular surface in the surgical area emphasizes the importance of morphological evidence for the preoperative evaluation and the…

[BACKGROUND] Lacking a nasal tip projection is a common deformity of Asian nasals. Various commonly used nasal tip grafts require dissecting septal perichondrium, most of them are autologous cartilage with a nonintegrated design. A snake-sh…

[BACKGROUND] Deviation and asymmetry relapse after secondary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty with septal extension graft is a common yet serious problem especially among Asian patients. Therefore, finding an effective approach to reduce deform…

[BACKGROUND] Three-dimensional facial stereophotogrammetry, a convenient, noninvasive and highly reliable evaluation tool, has in recent years shown great potential in plastic surgery for preoperative planning and evaluating treatment effic…

[PURPOSE] Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 2 (RAC2) acts as a molecular switch and has crucial roles in cell signaling and actin dynamics. A broad spectrum of genetic RAC2 mutations can cause various types of primary immunodeficienc…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin type A is an easy and efficacious treatment for gingival smile. However, the optimal dose and injection site are controversial. The authors compared the reduction in gingival exposure using two methods with diff…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat grafting has gained increasing popularity used in plastic surgery as a strategy to improve functional and aesthetic outcome. However, variable augmentation results have concerned surgeons in that volume loss of g…

[BACKGROUND] A severely contracted nose is a common occurrence. Intraoperative expansion is not sufficient to soften the severely constricted nasal envelope, which poses challenges in revision rhinoplasty. In recent years, adjuvant therapie…

[BACKGROUND] The aesthetic facial contouring procedures have gained an increasing popularity in the Asian population. Nevertheless, currently, there are few specific literature assessments and studies on the outcomes of rhinoplasty combined…

[BACKGROUND] The phenotype maintenance of diced cartilage is a very important factor to reduce cartilage absorption rate in augmentation rhinoplasty. A novel method which combined diced cartilage with chondrocyte spheroids in gelatin methac…

Nasal deformities due to various causes affect the aesthetics and use of the nose, in which case rhinoplasty is necessary. However, the lack of cartilage for grafting has been a major problem and tissue engineering seems to be a promising s…

[BACKGROUND] For Asian rhinoplasty patients with midfacial concavity, the conventional method is to solve the problem by using structural rhinoplasty to increase the nasal height and length. However, the results are not satisfying, and many…

[BACKGROUND] The perpendicular plate of ethmoid (PPE) was used to correct short noses in rhinoplasty in Asians, but the safe harvest of the plate and the assessment of its clinical application has been perplexing to plastic surgeons. [AIMS…
