[INTRODUCTION] Through-and-through (T-T) lesions present unique anatomical challenges in endodontic microsurgery (EMS), often resulting in delayed or incomplete healing. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of EMS in T-T lesio…

Endodontic microsurgery (EMS) is a reliable treatment modality for managing persistent or recurrent periapical pathologies, particularly when conventional nonsurgical retreatment is infeasible or has failed. Various factors influence EMS ou…

[BACKGROUND] Lateral orbital hollowing is a subtle yet influential contributor of periorbital ageing. It results from attenuation of subcutaneous fat, atrophy of the lateral orbital fat pad, and descent of the orbicularis oculi muscle, crea…

[AIM] Despite the high success rate of endodontic microsurgery (EMS), it is difficult to suggest EMS as a general treatment option considering the difficulty of the procedure. A surgical guide has been proposed to overcome this problem. Thi…

[INTRODUCTION] While the aluminum chloride-based hemostatic agent Expasyl is proposed for efficient hemostasis in endodontic microsurgery, its high viscosity may hinder removal and lead to adverse tissue reactions. Traxodent, with lower vis…

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) significantly impairs the quality of life of patients due to chronic pain and limited jaw function. Many treatment options have been used such as pharmacologic management, physical therapy, oral appliance th…

[OBJECTIVE] To assess changes in noncontrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based biomarkers after upper extremity lymphedema surgery. [METHODS] We retrospectively identified secondary upper extremity lymphedema patients who underwent va…

[BACKGROUND] There are several treatment options to improve a double chin, such as contour injections, thread lifting, and double chin liposuction. However, the results of these treatments can be minimal or have a short-lasting effect. Addi…

Despite significant clinical utility, current soft tissue reconstruction modalities employing enriched grafts or liposuction impose considerable limitations including volume reduction and donor-site morbidity. Here, we present a biomimetic …

[INTRODUCTION] "Food swamps" are areas with a high density of fast-food restaurants (unhealthy foods) relative to grocery stores (healthy foods). Patients in regions with inequitable access to healthy foods may have worsened surgical outcom…

[PURPOSE] Breast reduction (BR) involves a large surface area of manipulated tissue, increasing the risk of postoperative hematoma. Pulse irrigation (PI) uses a device to deliver intermittent pressurized irrigant intraoperatively. This stud…

The characteristics, complications, and postoperative analgesic needs of patients with a recent or active history of recreational cannabis use have not been explored explicitly in plastic surgery. In this study, the characteristics, complic…

[INTRODUCTION] Facial feminization surgery (FFS) has become a crucial component of transgender gender-affirming care. Despite the increasing number of transgender patients undergoing FFS, there is limited literature investigating surgical o…

[BACKGROUND] Gender-affirming facial surgery (GAFS) is an integral part of the gender-affirming care continuum, but access to surgery is limited, and only 7% of transgender women have undergone GAFS. The intersection of race/ethnicity and i…

[BACKGROUND] Patients with breast cancer living in rural areas are less likely to undergo breast reconstruction. Further, given the additional training and resources required for autologous reconstruction, it is likely that rural patients f…

[BACKGROUND] Depression and anxiety have a complex association with opioid dependence, though their impact on acute postoperative pain is unclear. The present study investigated the impact of depression and anxiety on acute postoperative pa…

[BACKGROUND] Recent literature has established outpatient breast reconstruction (BR) to be a safe alternative to inpatient BR. However, the impact of race and ethnicity on BR patient decision-making and postsurgical outcomes remains unexplo…

[INTRODUCTION] Research productivity is an important part of required Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education scholarship during residency training and critical to trainees who intend to pursue careers in academia. This study a…

[BACKGROUND] Empowerment is the process by which patients gain greater control of their health through active and informed decision-making. Greater patient empowerment has been shown to be positively correlated with improved health care out…

[BACKGROUND] As social attitudes toward plastic surgery continue to evolve, the prevalence of men seeking plastic surgery has been increasing. By delving into the factors that encourage male patients to seek plastic surgery and the obstacle…

[BACKGROUND] Medical students who attend institutions without plastic surgery residency programs are at a disadvantage in the plastic surgery match. We developed an educational program for medical students without home programs called Explo…

[OBJECTIVE] Three-dimensional printing (3Dp) and modeling have demonstrated increasing utility within plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS). This study aims to understand the prevalence of how this technology is utilized in craniofacial …

[BACKGROUND] Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a significant concern due to its impact on patient comfort, recovery time, and extended hospital stay. Previous research links higher PONV rates in women during their periovulatory ph…

[INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE] The shift of surgical training from apprenticeship model towards competency-based training requires objective assessments of microsurgical skills to achieve mastery. Our objective was to create a novel platform …

Endodontic microsurgery is a highly predictable treatment option in most cases when conventional endodontic treatment is not feasible. Nevertheless, mandibular molars are still considered by clinicians to be the most difficult type of teeth…

[BACKGROUND] Radicular cysts may enlarge considerably, cause extensive bone destruction, and jeopardize the integrity of the associated vital teeth. The different treatment approaches are aimed mainly at eliminating the cystic epithelial me…

[BACKGROUND] Inflammation, a vital immune response to infection and injury, is mediated by macrophage activation. While spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) and myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88) are reportedly involved in inflamma…

[PURPOSE] In this study, we examined the impact of reconstruction using tissue expander insertion (TEI) on the risk of radiation dermatitis in patients undergoing postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT). [METHODS] Between August 2015 and March …

Clip compression injury of oculomotor nerve (ON) is a preventable complication of aneurysm microsurgery. The author illustrates this condition in which ON was inadvertently occluded by the clip during repairing posterior communicating arter…
