Timely detection and effective management of postoperative flap crises are critical for improving flap salvage rates. Flap crisis often stems from impaired blood circulation, leading to changes in the flap's color, texture, and temperature.…

[INTRODUCTION] Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging technology in microsurgery for free flap reconstruction. AR allows surgeons to superimpose preoperative CT images onto the patient, providing real-time insight into the underlying anatomy…

[OBJECTIVE] With the increasing number of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) treated by endovascular coiling, more residual and recurrent IAs are being encountered. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the microsurgical ma…

[PURPOSE] This study investigates the impact of Botulinum Toxin Type A (BoNT-A) injections for lateral canthal wrinkles on the ocular surface. [METHODS] A total of 30 patients (30 eyes) who received BoNT-A injections were followed over a t…

[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. …

Human skin-derived ECM aids cell functions but can trigger immune reactions; therefore it is addressed through decellularization. Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs), known for their regenerative properties, are used in tissue and organ regene…

[INTRODUCTION] The repair of extensive tissue defects remains a challenge, although great progress has been made in reconstructive surgery. The transplantation of a single huge flap or several flaps in combination will inevitably result in …

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to investigate the incidence of toe flexion deformity after fibular free flap transplantation and to analyze the etiology of the deformity. [METHODS] Fifty patients underwent vascularized fibular free flap tra…

Traditional horizontal osteotomies for small and short chins often yield suboptimal results due to limited bone advancement, resulting in deep labiomental folds and heightened bone resorption risks. This study investigates the effectiveness…

[INTRODUCTION] Postburn scarring often presents a specific reconstructive challenge from both functional and cosmetic perspectives. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether autologous nanofat harvested from the donor site of ful…

Authors comment on the paper "Aesthetic, Quality of Life, and Clinical Outcomes after Inferior Pedicle Oncoplastic Reduction Mammoplasty" written by Thomas Y Xia et al. Although the authors present excellent results on Inferior Pedicle Onco…

[BACKGROUND] An increasing number of reports on breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma have recently raised concerns about the potential influence of breast implants on carcinogenicity, particularly implants with a texture…

[PURPOSE] Free fibula flap is the gold standard for the treatment of mandibular defects. However, the existing preoperative planning protocol is cumbersome to execute, costly to learn, and poorly collaborative with the robot-assisted cuttin…

In patients with head and neck cancer, irradiation (IR)-sensitive salivary gland (SG) tissue is highly prone to damage during radiotherapy (RT). This leads to SG hypofunction and xerostomia. Xerostomia is defined as the subjective complaint…

[BACKGROUND] Despite increasing cross-collaboration between providers who perform cutaneous surgery, a disparity still exists in the current practices regarding perioperative management. This could lead to treatment delays, patient confusio…

The development of oncoplastic surgery (OPS) is one of the greatest achievements for the treatment of breast cancer. OPS combines oncological resection with plastic surgery techniques in a single procedure to allow the excision of tumors wi…

Background The Sars-Cov-2 virus is characterized by a being highly contagiousness, and this is the reason why massive use of personal protective equipment is required by medical and paramedical staff of the COVID-19 dedicated departments. T…

Dinoflagellates are an important group of phytoplanktons, characterized by two dissimilar flagella and distinctive features of both plants and animals. Dinoflagellate-generated harmful algal blooms (HABs) and associated damage frequently oc…

[BACKGROUND] The massive use of personal protective equipment is required by the medical and paramedical staff of the COVID-19 dedicated departments. This often causes painful pressure injuries. The aim of this study is to value the use of …

The demand for high-quality silicone breast implants is rising. This was the first clinical study on implantation of Asian company-made silicone breast implants into Asian women. The authors report 4-year study data for BellaGel implants. T…

Synaptic vesicles (SVs) form distinct pools at synaptic terminals, and this well-regulated separation is necessary for normal neurotransmission. However, how the SV cluster, in particular synaptic compartments, maintains normal neurotransmi…

[BACKGROUND] The authors report a case of a rare complication that occurred after botulinum toxin injection to the extraocular muscle, which was easily overlooked and successfully corrected by surgery. [CASE PRESENTATION] A 34-year-old fem…

[BACKGROUND] Secondary cleft lip nasal deformity is a complex deformity, and the variety of recommended techniques used to correct this deformity attests to it. Much of the nasal deformity can be attributed to an abnormal lower lateral cart…

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), originating predominantly from vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), lead to vascular damage and endothelial dysfunction in rats with hypertension. The downstream signaling pathways of farnesyl pyrophosphate (…

[BACKGROUND] Optimal timing for cleft lip rhinoplasty is controversial. Definitive rhinoplasty is deferred until facial skeletal growth is completed. Intermediate rhinoplasty is performed after stabilization of the grafted alveolar bone, be…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is the most common side effect of breast implant insertion and the problem that breast surgeons seek to avoid the most. Previous animal studies have proved that an antiadhesive barrier solution (AABS) preve…

[BACKGROUND] A short and wide lower face is perceived as unattractive and masculine. Simply contouring the mandibular body and angle is insufficient to make the lower face with short and wide features slimmer and more feminine. In many case…
