The durability of silicone breast implants is critical for successful aesthetic and reconstructive outcomes. Intraoperative breast pocket irrigation is routinely performed to reduce infection and capsular contracture, but the effect of comm…

Delayed breast reconstruction using deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps in patients with a history of abdominal wall hernias and/or cesarean sections presents unique challenges. This study examines 10 such cases, emphasizing ke…

Performing a hand-sewn microvascular anastomosis is a technically challenging and potentially time-consuming task, the results of which can dramatically impact prolonged ischemia time and clinical outcomes. This scoping review aims to exami…

Introduction Nasolabial folds (NLFs) remain one of the most common concerns that drive patients toward minimally invasive facial rejuvenation. This prospective observational study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy and durability of pol…

[PURPOSE] Autologous fat transfer is widely used in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery; however, its efficacy is often limited by suboptimal fat graft survival. Various pharmacological adjuncts have been proposed to enhance fat graft viab…

[BACKGROUND] Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the hemostatic net in reducing post-rhytidectomy hematomas; however, its safety in relation to the proximity to the carotid vessels is unknown. [OBJECTIVES] This study ai…

Resection of advanced oral malignancies often leads to extensive composite tissue defects, which may involve skin, oral mucosa, mandible, and a significant amount of soft tissue. While the free fibula flap remains the primary choice of reco…

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), the causative agents of botulism, are proteins consisting of an N-terminal catalytic Light Chain (LC) and a C-terminal Heavy Chain (HC), which comprises a LC-translocation domain (HC) and a receptor binding do…

[INTRODUCTION] Hematoma is a common and concerning complication following facelift surgery. To mitigate this risk, hemostatic nets can be applied either externally or internally. In patients with Fitzpatrick skin type of or greater than III…

Total temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacement has become a vital solution for managing end-stage TMJ disorders and significantly enhancing mandibular function and patient quality of life. This narrative review explores the historical deve…

[OBJECTIVES] To report a rare case of ovotesticular disorder of sex development (OT-DSD) in a phenotypically male adolescent who presented with bilateral gynecomastia. [CASE PRESENTATION] A 15-year-old phenotypically male child presented w…

[BACKGROUND] Finite options exist to address free flap failure. There is a lack of consensus on the standard treatment for secondary reconstruction in such cases. Herein, the authors determined the survival rate of a second flap following a…

[OBJECTIVE] To determine urethral outcomes of single-stage metoidioplasty and radial forearm free flap (RFFF) phalloplasty using the labia minora ring flap for urethral lengthening (UL). [METHODS] A retrospective review was performed of pa…

Here we describe a template of DIEP flap inset that prioritises projection, lateral flow and natural ptosis; key elements of an aesthetically successful delayed breast reconstruction. By not excising the full length of the mastectomy scar, …

 Patients with congenital or acquired penile defects face significant psychological trauma. Various methods for penile reconstruction have been described of which the free radial artery forearm flap using the tube-within-tube design is foun…

People with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) need to take multiple doses of insulin injections daily throughout their lives. However, a notable portion of people with diabetes mellitus (DM) show suboptimal insulin injection technique practic…

[OBJECTIVE] To undertake a United Kingdom national medical student survey investigating undergraduate plastic surgery exposure and specialty perceptions. [BACKGROUND] Plastic surgery incorporates all anatomical regions, age groups and tiss…

[OBJECTIVE] To describe our technique for the infrapubic approach for malleable penile prosthesis (MPP) insertion after phalloplasty in transgender men and review surgical outcomes. [METHODS] The infrapubic prosthesis insertion technique i…

Though the formation of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) during treatment with botulinum neurotoxin is rare, their presence may nonetheless affect the biological activity of botulinum toxin and negatively impact clinical response. The goal of…

[BACKGROUND] Dysphagia palliation in inoperable esophageal cancer continues to be a challenge. Self-expandable metal stents have been the mainstay of endoscopic palliation but have a significant risk of adverse events (AEs). Liquid nitrogen…

[BACKGROUND] Neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) is a serious complication of high-risk deliveries with controversy surrounding timing of corrective nerve surgery. This review systematically examines the existing literature and investigat…

[BACKGROUND] Debate over the optimal age at time of surgery for treatment of brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) remains controversial, and there exists geographical varia- tion in surgical preference for age at time of surgery. The objecti…

It is difficult to treat large postburn sequelae (scars and defects) over the face. Available methods include skin grafts, local flaps, tissue expansion, and free flaps. These surgical options should be chosen wisely, depending on individua…

Digitalization of operative procedures through three-dimensional (3D) navigation is a remarkable advancement in the field of dentistry which allows both precision and accuracy while treating patients. It is an emerging technology with a wid…

[INTRODUCTION] The aim of the study is to investigate whether the 3-dimensional dynamic navigation system (3D-DNS) can improve experienced endodontists' (EEs') and novice endodontists' (NEs') accuracy and efficiency in osteotomy and root-en…

[PRCIS] Human corneoscleral rims provide a low cost model and resource to enhance angle based glaucoma surgical training skills. [PURPOSE] To understand the feasibility, utility, and efficacy of a low-cost model for performing anterior cha…

Botulinum toxin and derma fillers have made their way into dentistry in recent years for both cosmetic and medicinal purposes. They are here to stay, and with more and more intraoral applications, they are quickly becoming a standard elemen…

Irradiated homologous costal cartilage (IHCC) may be a convenient, cost-effective and efficient alternative source of graft material in rhinoplasty; however, a systematic review and meta-analysis on this topic have not been previously perfo…
