[OBJECTIVE] transkeyhole microsurgery for spinal cord tumors requires intraoperative imaging guidance to ensure safe and effective tumor resection. Although optical endoscopy has been widely adopted in clinical settings, it's limited to vis…

Objective and reproducible evaluation of glabellar lines remains challenging, as current clinical assessments rely largely on subjective rating scales and two-dimensional photography, which lack depth information. This study aimed to assess…

Hypertrophic scarring is characterized by excessive dermal fibrosis and irregular collagen metabolism, mediated by fibroblasts derived from keloids. This condition typically arises from improper wound healing after deep burns, trauma, or su…

[OBJECTIVES] PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS) is a highly heterogeneous disease. Facial Infiltrating Lipomatosis (FIL) is a rare PROS subset, and its atypical phenotypes, such as macrotia, present diagnostic and therapeutic challen…

[BACKGROUND] The outcomes and quality of life of patients with locally advanced oral or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LAOOPSCC) following upfront surgery (US) are suboptimal. The optimal neoadjuvant therapy involving programmed dea…

[BACKGROUND] The traditional radial forearm free flap (TRFFF) combined with split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) for repairing oral defects presents unavoidable donor area complications, such as delayed healing and scar hyperplasia. This st…

[BACKGROUND] Whether surgical intervention is optimal for the treatment of cystic vestibular schwannoma (CVS) remains an area of debate and active clinical research. This study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes between CVSs and solid v…

Botulinum toxin (BoNT) remains the gold standard treatment for focal and segmental dystonia and is widely used in managing hyperkinetic disorders, chronic pain, and glandular hypersecretion. Extensive clinical trials demonstrate that BoNT e…

[BACKGROUND] The chin significantly influences facial aesthetics, contributing to the overall balance and harmony of the face. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the hyaluronic acid filler Hyamax® Volumizer for chin augmentatio…

[BACKGROUND] Early detection of periocular aging is a common concern in cosmetic surgery. Traditional diagnostic and treatment methods often require hospital visits and consultations with plastic surgeons, which are costly and time-consumin…

[BACKGROUND] Subbrow blepharoplasty has become popular in Asian populations for redundant skin and lateral hooding in the upper lid. How to imrpove the effects of the procedure becomes urgent. [OBJECTIVE] To investigate the effects of orbi…

[BACKGROUND] Implant infection continues to be the most common complication of breast reconstruction, and it can lead to serious consequences of implant loss. Recently, endoscopic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy with direct-to-implant br…

[BACKGROUND] Human epithelium-derived stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) possess the capability to support tooth formation and differentiate into functional enamel-secreting ameloblasts, making them promising epithelial-…

The innervation of the pelvic wall muscles is not very clear. This study aimed to reveal the division of neuromuscular compartments and localize the surface position and depth of the center of the intramuscular nerve-dense region (CINDR) of…

Skin transplantation is a traditional and well-established method of repairing skin loss, especially deep second-degree postburn wounds. Complications often happen amid the healing process, including necrosis and skin contracture, which has…

[OBJECTIVE] Pain management in patients with TN is challenging, as facial pain often does not respond well to conventional therapies. Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) has been suggested as a potential treatment option, but there is limited ev…

[BACKGROUND] Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a debilitating disease characterized by involuntary tonic and clonic contractions of muscles innervated by the facial nerve. Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) is the first-line option and the most effective me…

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the effects of the minimally invasive blepharoplasty in recreation of double eyelid for the patients of single eyelid or failed buried-suture-blepharoplasty. [METHOD] From September 2012 to January 2022, 392 fema…

Data recovery from monolithic storage devices (MSDs) is in high demand for legal or business purposes. However, the conventional data recovery methods are destructive, complicated, and time-consuming. We develop a robotic-arm-assisted optic…

[BACKGROUNDS] Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) is extensively applied in spasticity and dystonia as it cleaves synaptosome-associated protein 25 (SNAP25) in the presynaptic terminals, thereby inhibiting neurotransmission. An increasing numbe…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin (BTX) for motor dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD). [DESIGN] Systematic review and meta-analysis. [DATA SOURCES] Searches of PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library, …

Upper lid retraction (ULR) is the most common and earliest symptom in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) patients. Surgical correction is effective for ULR in stable diseases. However, non-invasive treatment is also required for the TA…

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a rare movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions on one side of the face. Compared to the high therapeutic effect, adverse effects of botulinum toxin treatment for HFS occurred rarely. Howe…

[OBJECTIVE] The purpose of this study is to review the differences between continuous wave (CW) and UltraPulse (UP) on thermal damage of the laser with different power. [METHODS] Four adult beagle dogs underwent transoral laser microsurger…

[OBJECTIVE] Open microsurgery, often with bypass techniques, is indispensable for complex aneurysms. To date, it remains unknown whether arterial anatomy or quantitative blood flow measurements can predict insufficient flow-related stroke (…

In microsurgery, it is always difficult to accurately identify the blood supply with ease, such as vascular anastomosis, digit replantation, skin avulsion reconstruction and flap transplantation. Near-infrared window I (NIR-I, 700-900 nm) i…

[OBJECTIVE] The application of botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) in the treatment of paralytic strabismus has been recognized, but there are few studies on the treatment of acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE). This study was aimed to inves…
