[BACKGROUND] Alar retraction is characterized by excessive nostril exposure and presents a significant challenge in rhinoplasty, particularly in cases of severe alar retraction. This study aimed to introduce a novel treatment approach for s…

[BACKGROUND] The character of Asian nose usually presents low projection of tip, short columellar, and short nose, necessitating the construction of a cartilage framework to achieve optimal results. The objective of this study was to evalua…

This study aimed to explore the clinical application value of a new porous high-density polyethylene (PHDPE, Supor) exogenous scaffold in nasal tip shaping for East Asians.We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent rhin…

[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…

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint degenerative disease, resulting in a significant societal burden. However, there is currently a lack of effective treatment option available. Previous studies have suggested that Botulinum toxin A (B…
