Several biologic and synthetic adjuncts have been employed to reduce ptosis and improve cosmesis in breast surgery. Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), a fully absorbable polymer, continues to increase in use. This study sought to identify uses …

[BACKGROUND]  Plastic and reconstructive surgeons are often presented with reconstructive challenges as a sequela of complications in high-risk surgical patients, ranging from exposure of hardware, lymphedema, and chronic pain after amputat…

[CASE] We present a case of an elderly female patient with a chronic lower leg wound involving bone exposure in the tibia. Despite the absence of overt infection, low-grade osteomyelitis was suspected. Given the patient's age and overall fi…

Multimodal optical and ultrasound imaging (USI) provides complementary diagnostic insights. However, because conventional USI uses opaque ultrasound (US) transducers, integrating these two modalities results in a bulky and complicated handh…

[BACKGROUND] Intradermal injection of CPM-HA20G, a low-viscoelasticity hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler with glycerol, has been shown to be effective for facial rejuvenation in Caucasians, but research in Asians is limited. [AIMS] This s…

Acquired non-accommodative comitant esotropia (ANAET) represents a distinct subclass of esotropia that predominantly manifests in older children and adults. Injection of Botulinum Toxin A (BTX) to the extraocular muscle has been used to tre…

This study investigates the efficacy of integrating a collagen-elastin matrix (MatriDerm) with lower blepharoplasty to address infraorbital hollowness and fine wrinkles in aging patients, conditions often inadequately treated with conventio…

[BACKGROUND] Debate about the advantages and disadvantages of alloplastic vs autologous implant material for dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty continues among the aesthetic surgery community. Silicone implants are criticized for high rates of…

Toe pulp flap surgery is a viable option for soft tissue defects of the fingertips, effectively addressing patient needs and fingertip characteristics. The preferred anesthesia for lower-extremity surgery includes spinal and regional anesth…

[BACKGROUND] Collagen is a key component of connective tissue and has been frequently used in the fabrication of medical devices for tissue regeneration. Human-originated collagen is particularly appealing due to its low immune response as …

This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning (ML)-based model for predicting liposuction volumes in patients with obesity. This study used longitudinal cohort data from 2018 to 2023 from five nationwide centers affiliated wit…

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been implicated in metastasis and proposed as cancer biomarkers. However, heterogeneity and small size makes assessments of EVs challenging. Often, EVs are isolated from biofluids, losing spatial and tempor…

[PURPOSE] Acquired defects of the central face pose significant challenges in achieving acceptable cosmetic and functional outcomes. The site, size, and depth of tissue loss often render local tissues inadequate for the repair of major nasa…

[OBJECTIVE] To locate the intramuscular nerve branches of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) and determine the accurate site for botulinum toxin injection. [DESIGN] This study anatomically dissected 24 arms of 12 fresh adult cadavers…

[BACKGROUND] One of the main concerns of patients who undergo hair transplantation surgery such as follicular unit strip surgery is scar widening on surgical sites. Until now, trichophytic suture, double-layer suture, tattoos, follicular un…

Mandibular asymmetry has a variety of patterns because they are affected the position and the shape of mandible in addition to the overlying soft tissue. This study aimed to assess the factor in mandibular asymmetry, focusing on each mandib…

The global COVID-19 pandemic reshaped many components of modern health care practice. Before the pandemic, research was beginning to demonstrate the impact of self-facing cameras, selfie images, and webcams on patient interest in head and n…

[PURPOSE] The hand has unique skin characteristics. Intrinsic flap donors are limited due to functional specificity and compactly connected structures. The hypothenar area is a reliable option for the reconstruction of finger defects. We pe…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin type A is widely used to treat primary axillary hyperhidrosis and has proven to be an effective and safe approach. Onabotulinumtoxin A was approved by the FDA as a treatment for primary axillary hyperhidrosis. T…

Bioadhesives are becoming an essential and important ingredient in medical science. Despite numerous reports, developing adhesive materials that combine strong adhesion, biocompatibility, and biodegradation remains a challenging task. Here,…

[BACKGROUND] Complications of radiotherapy after implant-based reconstruction include capsular contracture development, seroma formation, and reoperation for implant removal or replacement. However, there is a lack of studies regarding aest…

Despite the increasing application of transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) for rectal lesions, the cost of the equipment may play a role in a hospital's hesitancy to invest in the platform. This study compares the cost of TEM to laparosc…

Nontuberculous mycobacteria are ubiquitous environmental organisms that are rare pathogens in immunocompetent individuals. However, cutaneous nontuberculous mycobacteria infections have been increasingly associated with invasive procedures,…

Predictive factors associated with postoperative mortality have not been extensively studied in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a systemic inflammation index, has been shown to have a predictive value …
