Endodontic microsurgery (EMS) is an important treatment option for endodontic disease when the nonsurgical endodontic treatment fails. However, EMS for maxillary molars often presents a clinical challenge due to the root apex close to the m…

[BACKGROUND] Relieving botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injection-related pain is important for hyperhidrosis treatment. Till now, there is no report on the comparison of BoNT-A intradermal injection (BontAintra) and BoNT-A mesotherapy (Bont…

[BACKGROUND] Pain is a prominent symptom following prosthetic breast augmentation by means of axillary incision, and persists throughout hospitalization. However, routine analgesia is not always effective for all patients. Duration of regio…

[INTRODUCTION] This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) and analgesic use 1 week after surgery, as well as the surgical duration, associated with static navigation (SN) and dynamic navigation (DN)-aided endodontic microsurgery…

Accumulating evidence from animals has shown that multiple exposures to general anesthetics during brain development may cause extensive neuronal apoptosis and long-term memory impairments. However, the underlying mechanism is still poorly …

[BACKGROUND] Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an incurable, disabling autoimmune disease, and combination therapy with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs targeting different pathological mechanisms is a therapeutic strategy to improve treatm…

[BACKGROUND] Secondary reduction mammaplasty poses challenges. [OBJECTIVES] This article delves into the reasons and complaints regarding secondary repair following double-ring method and outlines the principle and logic of utilizing verti…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reduction surgery is currently the most critical treatment for macromastia. Preoperatively, patients are not only concerned about the surgical outcomes and potential complications but also about the amount of breast tiss…

[BACKGROUND] Auricular cartilage is widely used in rhinoplasty, but there are few studies on its biological changes after transplantation. [OBJECTIVES] This study investigated the biological transition of cartilage free grafts with and wit…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a significant complication following mammaplasty, with varying incidence rates and symptoms. The etiology of capsular contracture is multifactorial, with postoperative hematoma recognized as a potential …

[OBJECTIVE] The occurrence of dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) at the craniocervical junction (CCJ) is an uncommon vascular malformation. The diagnosis and treatment of CCJ DAVFs present a formidable challenge. This study aims to invest…

[BACKGROUND] Emerging three-dimensional digital visualization technology (DVT) provides more advantages than traditional microscopy in microsurgery; however, its impact on microsurgeons' visual and nervous systems and delicate microsurgery …

The miniaturization of biomedical microrobots is crucial for their applications. However, it is challenging to reduce their size while maintaining their biomedical functions. To resolve this contradiction, we propose a semiphysical design …

Hemifacial Spasm is a neurological disorder characterized by persistent and rhythmic spasms of the facial muscles, significantly affecting the patient's quality of life. This condition can be classified into primary and secondary types; thi…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat grafting is a widely used technique in plastic and reconstructive surgery for soft tissue augmentation. Despite its advantages, the primary limitation is the unpredictable retention rate of transplanted fat. Rece…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat grafting (AFG) has emerged as a highly sought-after plastic surgery procedure, although its success has been hampered by the uncertain fat survival rate. Current evidence suggests that adipose-derived stem cells …

[BACKGROUND] In reduction mammoplasty, preserving an appropriate skin flap is crucial to achieve a favorable postoperative appearance and prevent blood supply disorders in the nipple-areolar complex (NAC). Previous studies have indicated th…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reduction has a wide selection of pedicles but often relies on the surgeon's preference and experience. Necrosis of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) is a catastrophic complication of breast reduction surgery. [OBJECTIVES…

[BACKGROUND] In addition to symptom relief, the crucial objective of reduction mammoplasty is to achieve a stable and esthetically pleasing postoperative breast shape. However, the morphological changes in breasts following reduction mammop…

[BACKGROUND] For recurrent laryngeal cancer, the feasibility of salvage transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) remains controversial. This study compared the efficacy of TLM and open partial laryngectomy (OPL) for treatment of early local recur…

[BACKGROUND] Although botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection has been proved to reduce topical sebum secretion, the impact of intradermal BTX-A injection on scalp sebum production has never been reported. [OBJECTIVES] The purpose of this…

[BACKGROUND] The retention rate in autologous fat grafting is an increasing concern for surgeons and patients. Our previous research verified that thymosin beta 4 (Tβ4) positively affected fat survival, while the mechanism was unknown. The …

[BACKGROUND] Polyacrylamide hydrogel has been prohibited since 2006 due to numerous complications. Unsatisfactory breast contour was always observed in patients after PAAG removal. The same occurred in patients after silicone prosthesis rem…

[BACKGROUND] Transaxillary endoscopic dual-plane breast augmentation is becoming increasingly mature. The intraoperative separation of the implant into the space is often performed using monopolar cautery. The use of the harmonic scalpel ha…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous adipose tissue has become increasingly popular in cosmetic and plastic reconstructive surgery, especially breast augmentation surgery. However, the volume retention rate after transplantation significantly varies and…

[BACKGROUND] The barbed suture, which can eliminate knot tying and accelerate the placement of sutures, is an innovative type of suture, whereas the benefits of cosmetic surgeries (CS) are controversial. This study aimed to comprehensively …

The aim of this study was to outline the characteristics of severe trauma-induced oro-maxillofacial defects and explore the application of microsurgical reconstruction of these defects by selecting appropriate free vascularised composite ti…
