Antibiotics Prophylaxis to prevent capsular contracture in prosthesis-based breast surgery is common in clinical practice. However, there is currently a dearth of high-quality evidence concerning the effectiveness of antibiotic usage in thi…

[BACKGROUND] High technical thresholds, long operative times, and the need for expensive and specialized equipment impede the widespread adoption of endodontic microsurgery in many developing countries. This study aimed to compare the effec…

Injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel plays an important role in dermal filling. However, conventional HA dermal fillers mostly lack bio-functional diversity and frequently cause adverse reactions because of the chemical stiffness of hig…

[BACKGROUND] Granuloma formation is an uncommon and persistent skin inflammatory condition caused by the injection of dermal fillers. The exact cause of this reaction is not well understood, but it may be associated with irritating componen…

[BACKGROUND] Conchal cartilage is generally favored in rhinoplasty with a satisfied aesthetic outcome. However, patients may suffer from postoperative donor auricle deformities. [OBJECTIVES] This study introduced a novel conchal cartilage …

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty requires balanced consideration of function and aesthetics, necessitating a precise evaluation tool. A reliable and validated patient-reported measure, the Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCH…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a common and unpredictable complication after breast implant placement. Currently, the pathogenesis of capsular contracture is unclear, and the effectiveness of nonsurgical treatment is still doubtful. T…

[BACKGROUND] As essential techniques, intraoperative indocyanine green video angiography (ICG-VA) and FLOW 800 have been widely used in microsurgery for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). In the present report, we introduced a supplementar…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the effect of surgical procedures (transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) and open partial laryngectomy (OPL)) on the prognosis of patients with early laryngeal cancer. [METHODS] A total of 760 patients diagnosed with e…

Severe soft tissue defects and amputated digits are clinically common injuries. Primary treatments include surgical free flap transfer and digit replantation, but these can fail because of vascular compromise. Postoperative monitoring is th…

[OBJECTIVE] The risk of musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) increases over years of practice which may lead to career-ending among surgeons. Exoscopes represent a new generation of imaging systems that help surgeons operate in a more comfortabl…

In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of a newborn with aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) to provide insights for diagnosing and treating the disease. It is believed that ACC with an intact skull and a skin defect diamete…

Digital guided therapy (DGT) has been advocated as a contemporary computer-aided technique for treating endodontic diseases in recent decades. The concept of DGT for endodontic diseases is categorized into static guided endodontics (SGE), n…

[AIM] To develop a novel and simplified parameter for mandible angle asymmetry (MAA) evaluation for facial countering surgeries in Chinese females. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] A total of 250 craniofacial computer tomography of healthy Chinese …

Three-dimensional digital technology has been widely applied in craniofacial surgeries, particularly in conventional procedures such as facial contouring and orthognathic surgery. To some extent, the process has already been standardized. A…

[OBJECTIVE] To compare the effectiveness of botulinum toxin injection (BTX) and bilateral medial rectus recession (BMR) in the treatment of comitant esotropia. [METHODS] An exhaustive search of the literature from Pubmed, EMBASE, Web of Sc…

[BACKGROUND] Multiple muscles contribute to the formation of dorsal nasal lines (DNLs) and affect nasal aesthetics. Few attempts have been made to explore the range of distribution of DNLs in relation to injection planning. [OBJECTIVES] Th…

[BACKGROUND] Anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used to lower inflammation which is linked to a variety of disorders. It acts by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-mediated prostaglandin synthesis at the molecular level. Hematoma is related with t…

[BACKGROUND] Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on restoring, reconstructing, or changing the human body. Somatic deformities (SD) are defined by a distorted impression of one's own body image and are rather frequent. The …

[BACKGROUND] The barbed suture, which can eliminate knot tying and accelerate the placement of sutures, is an innovative type of suture, whereas the benefits of cosmetic surgeries (CS) are controversial. This study aimed to comprehensively …

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture (CC) characterized by excessive fibrosis is one of the most common complications after silicone implant surgery. Verteporfin (VP), an inhibitor of Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), has recently been found to…

The surgical reconstruction strategy for scar contracture deformity in chin and neck was explored, aiming to obtain better aesthetic outcome. A retrospective observational study was conducted. From December 2017 to April 2021, 34 patients …

[INTRODUCTION] Endodontic microsurgery is a treatment of last resort for preserving natural teeth. According to radiographic evaluation, the percentage of complete healing after endodontic microsurgery is only 74.3%. The use of regenerative…

Posterior circulation aneurysms have been regarded as the most challenging for endovascular coiling and microsurgical occlusion. The role of microsurgical treatment is gradually being overlooked and diminishing in the trend of endovascular …

The pedicled lower trapezius musculocutaneous flap (LTMF) can extend far beyond the lateral border of the trapezius muscle, with a reliable blood supply. However, the distal part of the extended LTMF lacks a muscular component, limiting its…

[OBJECTIVE] Dural ossification (DO) is common in patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). The existence of DO makes surgery challenging and increases the risk of complications. The aim of this study was to i…
