Donor Site Outcomes Following Autologous Breast Reconstruction with DIEP Flap: A Retrospective and Prospective Study in a Single Institution.
The deep inferior epigastric perforator artery (DIEP) free flap is the most commonly performed autologous breast reconstruction. Despite the relative reduction in donor site complications compared to nonmuscle-sparing options, there is stil…

A study protocol for a randomized controlled trial to assess the effects of Baduanjin exercise on balance impairment in patients with cervical dystonia.
[BACKGROUND] Patients with cervical dystonia (CD) commonly exhibit varying degrees of impaired balance, abnormal gait, and increased fear of falling. However, Botulinum toxin-the standard of care-does not substantially improve balance or ga…

Medial sural artery perforator free flap versus radial forearm free flap in oral cavity reconstruction and donor site morbidity.
[OBJECTIVE] Radial Forearm Free flap (RFFF) is widely used in head and neck reconstruction, yet its donor site defect remains a significant drawback. The Medial Sural Artery Perforator Free Flap (MSAPFF) is considered an alternative flap to…

Ergonomics in Craniofacial Surgery: Can We Do Better? A Quality Improvement Study.
[OBJECTIVE] Many plastic surgeons experience musculoskeletal strain and injury from poor ergonomics during surgery. This is associated with reduced performance, shortened careers, and decreased quality of life. This study compared the ergon…

Perioperative risk factors impact on intensive care unit length of stay (ICU length of stay) in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
[BACKGROUND] The trend in postoperative care for free flap patients is to deescalate from routine ICU admission into a specialty recovery unit. This study aims to investigate the predictive parameters in a routine perioperative clinical ass…

Outcomes of Immediate Alloplastic Breast Reconstruction in Patients Receiving Post-Mastectomy Radiotherapy.
[BACKGROUND] Immediate alloplastic breast reconstruction is traditionally avoided in patients who require post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT). However, a subset of patients who undergo alloplastic reconstruction may unpredictably requi…

Efficacy of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Combined with Botulinum Toxin Type A for Benign Essential Blepharospasm Patients Accompanied by Anxiety and Depression.
[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the improvement of motor, anxiety, and depression in patients with blepharospasm with the use of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). [METHODS] A total of 63 BEB pa…

Comparison of functional outcomes and health-related quality of life one year after treatment in patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer treated with three different reconstruction methods.
We evaluated the functional outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of 117 patients (who had had primary operations for oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma) using the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionn…

Botulinum toxin relieves anxiety and depression in patients with hemifacial spasm and blepharospasm.
[OBJECTIVE] To explore the efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) therapy in relieving anxiety and depression in patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS) and benign essential blepharospasm (BEB). [PATIENTS AND METHOD] Ninety idiopathic HFS…

Intraoral Prosthetic Chin Augmentation With Vertical Incisions.
To explore a new surgical approach for chin augmentation using a prosthesis with 3 intraoral vertical incisions whereby placement of the prosthesis is more convenient and accurate, with fewer postoperative complications. Following the anato…

Endoscopically assisted extracapsular dissection of pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland through a postauricular sulcus approach in young patients.
We evaluated the aesthetic outcomes in 11 young patients (mean (range) age 21.7 (16-28) years) who had endoscopically assisted extracapsular dissection of benign pleomorphic adenomas of the parotid gland through a postauricular sulcus appro…

Minimally invasive selective neck dissection: a prospective study of endoscopically assisted dissection via a small submandibular approach in cT(1-2_N(0) oral squamous cell carcinoma.
[BACKGROUND] Selective neck dissection (SND) in clinical N0 (cN0) cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has been performed by surgeons using a retroauricular or modified facelift approach with robotic or endoscopic assistance. However…
