[AIMS] To compare the efficacy and deficiency of conservative management (CM), microsurgery (MS) only, and microsurgery with preoperative embolization (E + MS) for unruptured arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). [METHODS] We prospectively i…

[OBJECTIVE] To explore the effectiveness of using antibiotic bone cement-coated plates internal fixation technology as a primary treatment for Gustilo type ⅢB tibiofibular open fractures. [METHODS] The clinical data of 24 patients with Gus…

[BACKGROUND] The treatment of bone and soft-tissue defects after open fractures remains challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the Masquelet technique combined with the free-flap technique (MFFT) versus the Iliza…

[BACKGROUND] The extubation time is critical during the intensive care unit stay in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients. The current conventional parameters for predicting extubation failure (EF) and extubation time may not b…

[BACKGROUND] Hyaluronic acids (HAs) continue to be the fillers of choice worldwide and their popularity is growing. Adverse events (AEs) are able to be resolved through the use of hyaluronidase (HYAL). However, routine HYAL use has been at …

The zebrafish is a widely used model organism for biomedical research due to its ease of maintenance, external fertilization of embryos, rapid embryonic development, and availability of established genetic tools. One notable advantage of us…

[INTRODUCTION] Gustilo IIIB open forearm fractures are severe injuries often associated with extensive bone and soft tissue injuries. The treatment of Gustilo IIIB open forearm fractures remains a challenging problem, with a high morbidity …

[INTRODUCTION] The free helical rim (FHR) flap offers like-with-like reconstruction for full-thickness nasal defects. A case series of nasal reconstruction using an FHR flap was presented, detailing surgical steps and refinements, as well a…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to compare the risk and benefit profile of microsurgery (MS) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) as the first-line treatment for unruptured and ruptured arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). [MATERIALS AND METHO…

From July 2020 to March 2022, 3 patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and microgenia underwent transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery via a vestibular approach or a endoscopic lateral neck dissection via the breast and transoral approa…

[OBJECTIVE] Elevated ICP is a well-recognized phenomenon in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) that has been demonstrated to lead to poor outcomes. Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is the most important reason for a poor clinical outc…
