[BACKGROUND] Dual-nerve neurotization of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps may enhance postmastectomy reinnervation, but the early timeline and regional patterns of tactile and thermal recovery remain incompletely defined. […

[BACKGROUND] Reduction mammoplasty, or breast reduction, provides improvements in quality of life for women with macromastia. Existing literature has not thoroughly characterized potential socioeconomic differences in receiving breast reduc…

[BACKGROUND] Nonsurgical rhinoplasty (NSR) is rapidly gaining popularity due to its convenience and lower complication risks. Polycaprolactone (PCL)-based collagen stimulator provides both immediate volumization and long-term neocollagenesi…

[BACKGROUND] Facial asymmetry is often overlooked in evaluations of nasal function and aesthetics, despite its potential impact on assessments in facial plastic surgery. [OBJECTIVE] This study aims to utilize AI tools to identify facial as…

[BACKGROUND] There are many intraoperative techniques and washes that are used to prevent bacterial contamination during breast reconstruction. Low-dose chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) is a low-pressure irrigation that offers broad spectrum a…

[PURPOSE] This study explores the impact of chemotherapy and radiation therapy (XRT) on breast sensation in patients undergoing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. [METHODS] This prospective study, conducted from 2019 to 2024, focuse…

[BACKGROUND] The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap can be reliably neurotized for autologous breast reconstruction. In standard fashion, a sensory branch of intercostal nerve T11 or T12 of the DIEP flap is coapted to the anter…

[BACKGROUND] Loss of breast sensation after mastectomy and breast reconstruction is associated with decreased psychosocial outcomes and quality-of-life, spurring applications of peripheral nerve repair to autologous breast reconstruction. W…

[BACKGROUND] Loss of sensation after mastectomy impacts long-term satisfaction, yet thermal sensory outcomes remain understudied. This study compares tactile and thermal recovery following two-stage alloplastic versus neurotized autologous …

[BACKGROUND] Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD), a complex abnormality caused by multiple neurologic disorders, is a serious threat to patients' prognosis and quality of life. However, benefit and safety for various treatmen…

[BACKGROUND] Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a rare complication following rhinoplasty surgery, with an occurrence rate generally estimated to be between 0.5% and 1%. In contrast, the occurrence rate of VTE in orthopedic surgeries, particul…

[BACKGROUND] The aim of the study was to demonstrate the therapeutic outcomes after a family strategy for nasoalveolar molding (Family-NAM) in infants with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate. [METHODS] Forty patients with unilateral …

[BACKGROUND] Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty (DPR) and conventional hump resection techniques (CHR) are two distinct methods for nasal hump reduction, affecting dorsal aesthetic lines (DALs) and midvault stability differently. There is limi…

[BACKGROUND]  The additional donor site incisions in autologous breast reconstruction can predispose to abdominal complications. The purpose of this study is to delineate predictors of donor site morbidity following deep inferior epigastric…

In the past decade, micro- and nanomachines (MNMs) have made outstanding achievements in the fields of targeted drug delivery, tumor therapy, microsurgery, biological detection, and environmental monitoring and remediation. Researchers have…

[PURPOSE] Breast anesthesia after mastectomy and reconstruction has been an ongoing concern with few improvements made in recent years. At present, there is a lack of studies evaluating the impact of comorbidities on sensation restoration. …

[INTRODUCTION] Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) is an effective non-surgical method for treating gummy smile (GS). This systematic review evaluated the efficacy, duration, and safety of different BoNT/A injections. [METHODS] Four electronic…

[BACKGROUND] Case volume and complexity for microsurgical treatment of cerebral aneurysms have changed due to the growing use of endovascular therapy in clinical practice. The authors sought to quantify the clinical exposure of Australian n…

[BACKGROUND]  Many patients who undergo free flap breast reconstruction develop postoperative hemodynamic changes, most noticeably, tachycardia. As there is currently no consensus on whether this tachycardia leads to clinically significant …

[BACKGROUND] Despite the umbilicus being an essential aesthetic unit, current literature on umbilical outcomes following abdominally based breast reconstruction is limited. In this study, the authors aim to elucidate the incidence and predi…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction patients who anticipate adjuvant radiation are not suitable candidates for immediate deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction due to the risk of flap fibrosis, shrinkage, and fat necr…

[BACKGROUND]  Mastectomy skin flap necrosis often necessitates prolonged wound care, surgical re-excision, and it increases the risk for infection. This study aims to compare rates of skin flap necrosis between autologous and device-based r…

[BACKGROUND] Neurotized deep inferior epigastic perforator (DIEP) flaps have been shown to improve sensory recovery after mastectomy and reconstruction. With the recent trend toward nipple-sparing mastectomies, sensation likely originates w…

This study aimed to evaluate the association between preoperative flurbiprofen, a non-selective COX inhibitor, and reoperation for flap crisis after free flap reconstruction. In this retrospective study, patients who underwent head and neck…

[BACKGROUND] Supraclinoid Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) aneurysms require additional access to standard pterional craniotomy via extradural clinoidectomy. Existing texts and surgical videos lack clarity, explanation and a clear step by step…

[BACKGROUND] Brainstem cavernomas occasionally require surgical treatment. Appropriate patient selection and thorough understanding of the anatomy and technical nuances involved in microsurgical resection is a pre-requisite in undertaking t…

[OBJECTIVE] This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of using a novel nasal clip designed for nostril retention after primary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty. [DESIGN] This is a retrospective study. [SETTING] Department of Cleft Lip and …

[BACKGROUND] This study aims to investigate the necessity of nostril retention after secondary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty. [METHODS] Seventy four patients who underwent secondary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty were categorized into control…
