[BACKGROUND] Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is widely used for forehead rejuvenation, but risks complications like brow ptosis with conventional pan-frontalis injections. Recent study highlights the frontalis muscle's bidirectional movement, d…

The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is widely used in reconstructive surgery due to its versatility and favorable donor site characteristics. However, its harvest remains technically challenging, primarily due to the anatomical variability o…

Heparin is frequently used to mitigate the risk of thrombosis in microsurgical free tissue transfer. Although rare, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a severe, life-threatening complication that can arise in patients exposed to hepa…

Primary intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) of the larynx is extremely rare and requires differentiation from metastatic intestinal adenocarcinoma due to their similar morphological and immunophenotypic features. This case report describe…

[BACKGROUND] Facial palsy, often resulting from trauma or iatrogenic treatments, leads to significant aesthetic and functional impairment. Surgical interventions, such as masseteric-to-facial nerve transfer combined with static suspension, …

[INTRODUCTION] The frontal appearance of ears, usually overlooked in facial aesthetics, has gained increasing attention among Asians. However, a consensus on the ideal cranioauricular angle is currently lacking. This study aims to investiga…

[BACKGROUND] An improperly established tip graft can lead to a narrow tip over time. To further refine the nasal tip and reduce the possibility of a narrow pointy tip, a shield graft and a tip onlay graft made from rib cartilage were fixate…

[OBJECTIVE] The purpose of this study was to identify significant prognostic factors associated with facial paralysis after vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery and develop a novel nomogram for predicting facial nerve (FN) outcomes. [METHODS…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] To analyze oncological and functional results of transoral minimally invasive surgery (TMIS) for supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma (SGLC), and investigate independent prognostic factors. [METHODS] Seventy SGLC pa…

Microrobots, which can perform tasks in difficult-to-reach parts of the human body under their own or external power supply, are potential tools for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, microsurgery, imaging and monitoring, tissu…

[BACKGROUND] Lower eyelid suspension, a common therapeutic procedure for facial paralysis-induced eyelid retraction, faces challenges due to high recurrence in patients lacking facial muscle function and impedes wider adoption. This researc…

[BACKGROUND] In East Asian individuals, the nasal bone already has sufficient height for an ideal dorsal profile, but the tip requires enhancement for a desired projection. Consequently, the gap between the intrinsic bony structure and the …

[BACKGROUND] Reconstruction of through-and-through composite oromandibular defects (COMDs) has been a challenge to plastic surgeons for decades. When using a free osteoseptocutaneous fibular flap, the skin paddle is restricted by the orient…

[BACKGROUND] Intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography is used in free flap surgery to evaluate the patency of vessel anastomosis. This study evaluated the outcomes of intraoperative ICG angiography in free flap surgery for head an…

[AIM] To develop a novel and simplified parameter for mandible angle asymmetry (MAA) evaluation for facial countering surgeries in Chinese females. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] A total of 250 craniofacial computer tomography of healthy Chinese …

[OBJECTIVE] The objective of this study was to observe the accuracy and security of the craniomaxillofacial plastic surgery robot in congenital craniosynostosis surgery and to enhance and improve its performance. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] We…

[PURPOSE] This study aims to assess the survival rate of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients following immediate mandibular reconstruction with vascularized fibula flap (VFF) and to identify risk factors influencing the overall sur…

[OBJECTIVE] Patients who had reconstruction for head and neck cancer usually have long duration of postoperative sedation and intensive care. This is due to the complex nature of large-area soft tissue defect surgeries and upper respiratory…

[INTRODUCTION] Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a postoperative complication of major surgical procedures, including free flap surgery. It is the most common cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Moreover, patients receiving f…

[BACKGROUND] To present the complications of free-flap phalloplasty in three-staged female-to-male transgender surgery. [METHODS] This retrospective study included patients who underwent a three-staged free-flap phalloplasty for female-to-…

Reconstruction of soft tissue defects around the knee is challenging, and the most common solution is to use various locoregional flaps or, in some difficult cases, a free flap. The distally based anterolateral thigh (dALT) flap is a common…

Using barbed thread lifting for facial rejuvenation has become popular these days due to its minimally invasive procedures with reduced complications. However, only limited studies regarding its mechanical properties for face suspension wer…

[BACKGROUND] Double-eyelid blepharoplasty is the most popular cosmetic surgery in Taiwan. The creation of a small palpebral fold along with reduction of eyelid fullness makes the eye look slightly larger, thereby leading to an appearance of…

Augmentation rhinoplasty has gained popularity in China in the past decades and nasion profile is a key variable in aesthetic outcomes. The nasion is the deepest portion of the nasofrontal groove and its aesthetic preferences vary between d…

The use of cryopreserved allogenic vascular graft in reconstructive microsurgery has rarely been reported. Here, we report a case of lower extremity reconstruction using cryopreserved hepatic artery as the vein conduit. Postoperative flap p…

[BACKGROUND] The incidence of local recurrence after transoral CO laser microsurgery for T1b-T2 glottic carcinoma is relatively low. Multiple risk factors have been described for the development of local recurrence after treatment. However,…

Meige syndrome (MS) is cranial dystonia characterized by the combination of upper and lower cranial involvement and including binocular eyelid spasms (blepharospasm; BSP) and involuntary movements of the jaw muscles (oromandibular dystonia;…

Conventional operations correcting chin deviations mainly rely on the observation and experience of the surgeons during the operation. We have created a new surgical method, one-half wedge osteotomy genioplasty (1/2WOG), that combines three…
