[BACKGROUND] Initial and early swelling post injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) filler are considered to affect outcomes and complications in patients; however, the contribution of HA filler type to swelling postinjection remains undetermine…

[BACKGROUND] Filler-induced vascular occlusion remains a rare but serious complication in aesthetic medicine, particularly in the lips, where collateral circulation is limited. Polynucleotide (DOT-PN) is a polynucleotide-based medical devic…

When plastic surgeons reconstruct the defects for recurrent cancer, a longer vascular pedicle is often necessary because usable vessels are sacrificed in previous surgeries or radiotherapy. In this case, we would like to present another met…

Toe pulp flap surgery is a viable option for soft tissue defects of the fingertips, effectively addressing patient needs and fingertip characteristics. The preferred anesthesia for lower-extremity surgery includes spinal and regional anesth…

[BACKGROUND] The process of producing proteins in bacterial systems and secreting them through ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters is an area that has been actively researched and used due to its high protein production capacity and eff…

Lipedema is a progressive connective tissue disease with enlargement of adipose tissue, fibrosis, fluid collection, and dermal thickening. Herein, we present a case of lipedema associated with skin hypoperfusion and ulceration in which soft…

Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty, which preserves the bony-cartilaginous junction and the keystone area, has been gaining popularity in Western countries for hump nose correction. The authors aimed to report the feasibility, surgical outcome…

[INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS] Urinary tract infection is one of the most common adverse events following onabotulinumtoxinA injection for urgency incontinence. Our hypothesis was that those undergoing injection for urgency incontinence who …

[BACKGROUND] A 1-2-mm thin rib cartilage graft was used as a septal extension graft to overcome the drawbacks of traditional rib cartilage rhinoplasty, which often results in a stiff nasal tip. The remaining rib cartilage was placed on the …

Premixed calcium silicate-based cements (CSCs) and fast-set CSCs were developed for the convenience of retrograde filling during endodontic microsurgery. The aim of this study was to analyze the biocompatible properties and mineralization p…

[RATIONALE] Piriformis syndrome (PS) is neuromuscular disorder caused by sciatic nerve compression by piriformis muscle and related to sciatic-type pain. When the conservative care fails, local injection or surgery can be also performed int…

[OBJECTIVE] Recent initiatives have emphasized the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in academic surgery. Racial/ethnic disparities remain prevalent throughout surgical training, and the "diversity pipeline" in resident recruit…
