[OBJECTIVES] Vocal effort is a widely measured outcome in the treatment of laryngeal dystonia. Although it is known to be multifaceted with both physical and psychological contributors, the most frequently used vocal effort scales in laryng…

[OBJECTIVES] Botulinum toxin (BTX) treatment has previously been shown to improve voice quality, quality of life, and the physical component of vocal effort in adductor laryngeal dystonia (ADLD) patients. More recently, cognitive load has b…

[BACKGROUND] The adoption of online learning has helped to address training gaps in resource constrained regions such as sub-Saharan Africa, where access to specialized medical and surgical education is limited. We assessed the outcomes of …

Microsurgery remains largely nonexistent in sub-Saharan Africa due to a lack of access to specialized training and microsurgical instruments. However, smartphones with magnification capabilities are globally widespread, even in low-resource…

[BACKGROUND] The Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) series, which includes ChatGPT, is an artificial large language model that provides human-like text dialogue. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of artificial intelligence …

[OBJECTIVE] Lymphedema is a common complication of cancer treatment, such as lymphadenectomy and radiation therapy. It is a debilitating condition with pathologic tissue changes that hinder effective curative treatment and jeopardize patien…

The management of giant inguinoscrotal hernias remains a challenge as a result of the loss of the intra-abdominal domain from long-standing hernia contents within the scrotum. Multiple techniques have been described for abdominal wall relax…

[BACKGROUND] Building local surgical capacity in low-income and middle-income countries is critical to addressing the unmet global surgical need. Visiting educator programs can be utilized to train local surgeons, but the quantitative impac…

[BACKGROUND]  Accurate monitoring of free flap perfusion after complex reconstruction is critical for early recognition of flap compromise. Surgeons use a variety of subjective and objective measures to evaluate flap perfusion postoperative…

[BACKGROUND] The most challenging part of rhinoplasty is nasal tip management. For East Asian patients with a bulbous under projected nasal tip with thick skin, autologous cartilage is considered the gold-standard graft material to provide …

Brown syndrome is characterised by impaired supraduction worse in adduction due to a restricted superior oblique tendon passing through the trochlea. A few reports have previously described Brown syndrome after upper eyelid surgery, includi…

The hybrid approach delivers unlimited exposure and technical access, enabling all the procedures of the open approach. In addition, the hybrid approach is flexible in its extent of "dissection/ exposure" It can be more of a classic endonas…

[BACKGROUND] A paradigm shift is underway in the world of humanitarian global surgery to address the large unmet need for reconstructive surgical services in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Here, we discuss the ReSurge Global Trai…

We conducted a cadaveric study to determine the size of cartilage grafts that can be taken from the tragus without distorting tragal anatomy. Our subjects included 7 fresh cadavers-3 male and 4 female (age at death: 61 to 87 yr). Tragal car…

[INTRODUCTION] Plastic surgery training has traditionally been modeled as an "apprenticeship," where faculty teach surgical skills to residents on live patients. Although this is a well-established process, the demand by the public and heal…

[BACKGROUND] Repairs of zone II flexor tendons have benefited in recent years from modifications involving suture technique and configuration. These advances, however, present new obstacles in resident training. A focused tutorial incorpora…

[BACKGROUND] Secondary breast deformities following breast augmentation constitute some of the most challenging and difficult problems to correct. Although the application and efficacy of human acellular dermal matrix in breast reconstructi…

Recent developments in surgery and basic science research offer aesthetic surgeons the prospect of scarless repair. Studies in fetal wound healing provide both cellular and molecular models of optimal tissue healing without scar formation. …

Six stages--supportive care (with or without tarsorrhaphy), planning for facial reanimation, lower eyelid and lateral canthal resuspension, passive upper eyelid reanimation, dynamic eyelid reanimation, and soft tissue repositioning--should …
