Vascular malformations often become symptomatic during childhood and require multidisciplinary intervention. However, reports of resection followed by free flap reconstruction in pediatric patients remain rare. We report two toddler cases o…

Reconstruction of extensive midfacial defects poses significant challenges due to the need for simultaneous restoration of function and appearance. In this report, the authors present a case of an extensive midfacial defect following nasal …

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a major complication of breast reconstruction with silicone implants, affecting patients' quality of life due to pain and esthetic concerns. Capsular contracture is considered to result from an excessive…

[BACKGROUND] Since the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI in November 2022, generative artificial intelligence (AI) models have attracted significant attention in various fields, including surgery. These advancements have been particularly notabl…

Breast reconstruction using an abdominal flap in patients with scarring on the upper abdomen is challenging. We present herein a new approach to two-stage breast reconstruction using a low-design bilateral conjoined superficial inferior epi…

A 61-year-old female patient with cleft lip and palate presented with a moderate palatal fistula and associated nasal deformity. The defect posed a surgical challenge, being too extensive for local mucosal flap closure, yet too confined to …

Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the maxilla is relatively uncommon. To the authors' knowledge, no previous reports have described reconstruction of malar and maxillary ORN using a thoracodorsal artery perforator flap combined with scapular bone…

Subtotal temporal bone resection (STBR) frequently results in facial paralysis and depression, making reconstruction challenging due to significant tissue loss. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a procedure designed for simu…

In a recent Letter to the Editor authored by Daungsupawong et al. in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, titled "ChatGPT and Clinical Questions on the Practical Guideline of Blepharoptosis: Correspondence," the authors emphasized important points re…

[BACKGROUND] The Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) series, which includes ChatGPT, is an artificial large language model that provides human-like text dialogue. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of artificial intelligence …

[BACKGROUND] At present, there is no golden standard for treatment of extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and recurrence remains a major challenge with limited available evidence on the associated factors. This study aimed to ev…

[BACKGROUND] In deep inferior epigastric artery (DIEA) perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction, the network with the superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) is key to achieving stable subcutaneous blood flow to the flap. This stu…

[BACKGROUND] The optimal sequence of microvascular clamping during free flap transfer is yet to be established. Many surgeons are reluctant to perform temporary declamping and subsequent reclamping during microvascular anastomosis; however,…

[BACKGROUND] The widely used botox type A (BTX-A) is effective against synkinesis in facial palsy sequelae. Repeated injections are necessary and permanent improvements have been reported. We objectively evaluated the changes in synkinesis …

[PURPOSE] This study aimed to demonstrate the performance of the popular artificial intelligence (AI) language model, Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) (OpenAI, San Francisco, CA, U.S.A.), in generating the informed consent …

[BACKGROUND] ChatGPT is a free artificial intelligence (AI) language model developed and released by OpenAI in late 2022. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of ChatGPT to accurately answer clinical questions (CQs) on the Guideline…

[SUMMARY] Frontalis suspension is the preferred approach for blepharoptosis with compromised levator function. Various studies have explored the use of different materials or material shapes for performing this procedure; however, a limited…

[BACKGROUND] Chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT) is a publicly available extensive artificial intelligence (AI) language model that leverages deep learning to generate text that mimics human conversations. In this study, the p…

[BACKGROUND AND AIM] Capsular contracture is the most common complication with smooth-type silicone implants. We investigated the preventive effect of an active metabolite of tamoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OH TAM), on capsular contracture…

[BACKGROUND] Pelvic lymphoceles are the most common complications after pelvic lymphadenectomy. Microsurgical procedures have attracted attention as an alternative treatment for lymphoceles. Here, we report six cases of refractory lymphocel…

Currently, an increasing number of patients are undergoing hemodialysis. However, little is known regarding the outcome or perioperative management of head and neck cancer reconstruction in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Here, we report …

[BACKGROUND] Recent advances in robotic surgery have extended to hair restoration surgery, using a robotic recipient site creation device. [OBJECTIVE] This study aimed to assess the surgical safety and postoperative clinical outcomes of us…

[BACKGROUND] Facial plastic surgeons often encounter patients experiencing untreated long-standing facial paralysis who are unaware that their condition can be managed by facial reconstructive procedures. To promote timely admission of pati…

Early detection of compromised circulation is essential for postoperative monitoring of free flap. Hourly clinical check-ups such as inspection and palpation still result in a delay in detection. Conversely, optical reflection and temperatu…

[BACKGROUND] Reconstruction after esophagectomy is conventionally performed with a gastric conduit. However, in cases where a gastric conduit is unavailable, reconstructive procedures vary in terms of flap type, operative timing, and condui…

Syndactyly of the hand is commonly treated using local flaps with skin grafts; however, contractures and/or pigmentation pose a challenge, requiring repeated surgery. Here, we describe a case of a 1-year-old boy who underwent web transplant…

A rare case of intraosseous cavernous hemangioma was identified in the nasal root. Using a combination of endoscopic surgery and open rhinoplasty, an osteotomy was performed and resection of the hemangioma was successfully achieved with tra…
