[BACKGROUND]  Insurance type can serve as a surrogate marker for social determinants of health and can influence many aspects of the breast reconstruction experience. We aimed to examine the impact of insurance coverage on patients reported…

Opioid dependence can occur in 6% to 10% of patients undergoing breast reconstruction. With the expansion of interdisciplinary initiatives to decrease opioid use after surgery, an updated look at the incidence of and risk factors for prolon…

[BACKGROUND] Patients with or at risk for breast cancer may opt for risk-reducing gynecologic surgeries, including bilateral salpingo-oophorectomies and/or total abdominal hysterectomy. The timing and safety of combining these procedures wi…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted soft tissue landmark identification (STLI) on serial lateral cephalograms (Lat-Cephs) of Class III patients treated with two-jaw orthognathic surgery across four …

[BACKGROUND] Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a subtype of ALCL that arises as a seroma or a mass in the capsule surrounding textured breast implants. However, collections of cases usually come from lar…

[IMPORTANCE] Despite the widespread use of fibula free flap (FFF) surgery for head and neck reconstruction, there are no studies assessing if early weight-bearing (EWB) affects postoperative recovery, and the timing of weight-bearing initia…

[BACKGROUND] The choice of tissue type for free flap reconstruction of posterolateral mandible resections is dependent on patient and defect characteristics. We compared clinical and patient-reported outcomes following reconstruction of the…

[BACKGROUND] There is a lack of literature of health-related quality of life endpoints for radial forearm (RF) versus anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap reconstruction for glossectomy defects. Our goal was to perform a comprehensive evalua…

[BACKGROUND] This study aims to explore the ideal breast size by assessing the relationship between mastectomy to free flap weight ratio and complications as well as patient-reported outcomes in autologous breast reconstruction (ABR). [MET…

[BACKGROUND]  A comprehensive understanding of changes in health-related quality of life after head and neck cancer surgery is necessary for effective preoperative counseling. The goal of this study was to perform a longitudinal analysis of…

[BACKGROUND] Collagen is a key component of connective tissue and has been frequently used in the fabrication of medical devices for tissue regeneration. Human-originated collagen is particularly appealing due to its low immune response as …

[BACKGROUND] Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) are minimally invasive procedures that treat early rectal cancer (ERC). Both are effective treatments, yet there are very few studies comparing …

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] A needleless laser-induced microjet injector is a novel transdermal drug delivery system that can rapidly inject a very small and precise drug dose into the skin with minimal pain and downtime. In this study, we …

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is the most common complication following breast implant surgery, and the implant shell characteristics are important in preventing this complication. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to evaluate the…

[BACKGROUND] The authors' aim was to describe 2 endodontically treated mandibular first premolars with apical and mesiolingual radiolucencies on radiographs with different approaches that were resolved with intentional replantation. [CASE …

[BACKGROUND] There are numerous factors to consider in deciding whether to undergo surgical treatment for brain metastasis from lung cancer. Herein, we aimed to analyze the survival outcome and predictors of recurrence of surgically treated…

[INTRODUCTION] This study aimed to determine if stress distribution from occlusal loads after targeted endodontic microsurgery (TEMS) differed for trephine-resected flat and curved root-ends, with and without bone graft. [METHODS] Finite e…

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the pattern of accuracy change in artificial intelligence-assisted landmark identification (LI) using a convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm in serial lateral cephalograms (Lat-cephs) of Class III (C-III) …

 Higher surgical volumes correlate with superior patient outcomes for various surgical pathologies, including transnasal transsphenoidal (TNTS) pituitary tumor resection. With the introduction of endoscopic approaches, there have been natio…

Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) induces muscle atrophy by cleaving synaptosomal-associated protein 25. Thus, BoNT/A has been actively utilized for the treatment of masseter and gastrocnemius hypertrophy. In this study, INI101 toxin was…

[BACKGROUND] Reduction mammaplasty is a common procedure associated with a very high patient satisfaction rate. It has been shown to alleviate symptoms related to macromastia, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, poor posture, bra strap g…

Social distancing protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a rapid expansion of telemedicine. It has allowed patients to save time and money on clinic visits, and physicians to communicate with patients who live remotely. Tel…

Although the KMT2B gene was identified as a causative gene for early-onset generalized dystonia, the efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in KMT2B-related dystonia has not been clearly elucidated. Here, we describe a 28-year-old woman w…

[OBJECTIVE] To quantify pain and opioid use after otorhinolaryngologic surgery. To determine the effect of patient and surgical factors on primary outcomes. [STUDY DESIGN] Prospective cohort. [SETTING] Tertiary academic hospital. [SUBJEC…

[BACKGROUND] In 2017, local public health authorities in California received reports of 2 elderly patients with suspected botulism who knew each other socially. A multijurisdictional investigation was conducted to determine the source. [ME…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of globus pallidus interna deep brain stimulation (GPi-DBS) for treating dystonia due to the GNAL mutation. [METHODS] We provide the first report of a dystonia patient with …

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To assess and define the level of pain after rhinoplasty and septoplasty and to better define the strength and quantity of postoperative opioids needed. [STUDY DESIGN] Prospective outcomes research. [METHODS] Two g…

[BACKGROUND] Various radiofrequency (RF) devices are used to treat skin laxity and face contouring, but few studies have examined ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) electric field (40.68 MHz) RF devices. [OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the efficacy and saf…
