[BACKGROUND] The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap technique has gained popularity due to its muscle-sparing properties, significantly reducing morbidity and enhancing aesthetic outcomes in breast reconstruction. In a consider…

[BACKGROUND] Determining the need for a bipedicled deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is a critical challenge in delayed breast reconstruction. The traditional, experience-based approach is often subjective and inaccurate. We a…

[BACKGROUND] The correction of breast ptosis using implants alone remains controversial. Given the preference for transaxillary approaches among Asian women, we developed a novel technique: endoscopic-assisted transaxillary high dual-plane …

[BACKGROUND] Oil cyst formation is a common complication following autologous fat grafting (AFG) for breast augmentation. Despite various fat processing techniques, no consensus exists on the optimal method to mitigate this complication. Th…

[BACKGROUND] Owing to the prevalence of congenital single eyelids among Asians, methods are needed to create a double-eyelid fold. Incisional blepharoplasty is considered an ideal method for this purpose. The classical approach tends to cre…

[BACKGROUND] The emotional and psychological complexities experienced by patients who will undergo plastic surgery are profound. This study aims to explore the origins of preoperative emotional challenges and their associated risk factors a…

[OBJECTIVE] The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of perioperative opioid prescription and the development of new persistent opioid usage in patients prescribed perioperative opioids for common otolaryngological procedur…

[BACKGROUND] Postburn axillary contracture is a common complication that leads to functional impairment and unsatisfactory aesthetic outcomes. The authors present their experience with axillary contracture reconstruction using preexpanded b…

[BACKGROUND] Sacral terminal filar cysts are a rare and distinctive type of sacral canal cyst, which are anatomically characterized by the presence of filum terminale within the cyst rather than nerve roots. Given their rarity and therapeut…

Endodontic microsurgery (EMS) is an important approach for preserving teeth with failed root canal treatment. However, implementing minimally invasive osteotomies and accurate apicoectomies can be challenging in anatomically complex areas, …

[BACKGROUND] Recent studies suggested that neoadjuvant cemiplimab can achieve a significant pathologic response in patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). This was a retrospective cohort study (2018-2021) to determine whethe…

[BACKGROUND] Endodontic microsurgery (EMS) is a widely utilized technique for addressing periapical periodontitis that is unresponsive to conventional root canal treatment. Nevertheless, achieving precise root apex location and resection ca…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgical techniques have advanced across various fields, requiring high precision, accuracy, and minimal invasiveness. While existing animal and cadaver models offer training opportunities for surgeons to practice surgerie…

[BACKGROUND] Patients with oral maxillofacial cancer who undergo tumor resection and simultaneous free flap reconstruction face an increased risk of developing postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, the precise incidence, spec…

Thread lifting has become widely adopted worldwide as a nonsurgical facial rejuvenation technique due to its simplicity and short recovery period. However, despite its generally favorable safety profile, various complications may occur, wit…

[BACKGROUND] For females in puberty, mastectomy caused by pathological gigantomastia usually brings significant psychological problems. Appropriate immediate breast reconstruction method is necessary. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study is …

Skin aging, characterized by reduced collagen regeneration, chronic inflammation and heightened skin cancer risk, poses a significant challenge. Collagen-based materials, employed as dermal fillers to smooth wrinkles, have attained extensiv…

Neck injections of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) are an effective, minimally invasive approach to improve lower face sagging, especially in Asian populations. However, cases of worsened "double chin" have been observed postinjection, likely due…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of the study was to objectively quantify changes in muscle properties in chronic stroke survivors and the effects of spasticity and botulinum toxin injections on muscle properties using ultrasonography. [DESIGN] In this…

Spastic gait presents clinically as the net mechanical consequence of neurological impairments of spasticity, weakness, and abnormal synergies and their interactions with the ground reaction force in patients with upper motor neuron syndrom…

The glycocalyx, a cell surface component implicated in various diseases, has recently been recognized for its role in acute lung injury (ALI). Also known as the alveolar epithelial polysaccharide coat, it is vital for maintaining lung barri…

[PURPOSE] Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders with no effective drugs to prevent seizures or their progression. Iron modulation is a potential advanced treatment for seizures. We aim to investigate whether botulinum to…

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most prevalent form of alopecia areata. Traditional treatment options, including minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation, have their limitations, such as skin irritation, systemic side effects, in…

Capsular contraction is the most common complication after breast augmentation or reconstruction, and is the main reason underlying patient dissatisfaction and additional subsequent surgeries. Periostin is an extracellular matrix protein an…

[INTRODUCTION] The strategy of adipose component transplantation has been proposed and widely used in both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. However, there is no uniform standard for the preparation of component fat, and the volume calc…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma has been recognized as a distinct entity in the World Health Organization classification of hematolymphoid neoplasms. These neoplasms are causally related to textured implants that we…

[BACKGROUND] Breast cancer surgeries involving MS-TRAM/DIEP breast reconstruction has traditionally been collaborative efforts between breast surgeons and plastic surgeons. However, in our institution, this procedure is performed by dual-tr…
