[BACKGROUND] The use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in plastic surgery is increasing due to its anti-inflammatory properties, particularly in reducing postoperative seromas. However, its role in reconstructive microsurgery remains limited due to …

Free flap reconstruction in the setting of lower extremity trauma continues to be a challenging clinical problem fraught with a high risk of complications including flap compromise. Although studies have described certain risk factors that …

[AIM] To introduce a novel incision design for large advancement genioplasty. [FINDINGS] Our variation extends from the premolar to the premolar, maintaining a 5 mm distance from the root apices and the vestibular sulcus. The incision is V…

[BACKGROUND] For patients undergoing unilateral therapeutic mammoplasty for breast cancer, the timing of contralateral symmetrisation to achieve optimal outcomes is unclear. This review aims to evaluate studies examining outcomes following …

[OBJECTIVES] Microvascular free tissue transfer is routinely used for reconstructing midface defects in patients with malignancy, however, studies regarding reconstructive outcomes in invasive fungal sinusitis (IFS) are lacking. We aim to d…

[BACKGROUND] The safety of presurgical thromboprophylaxis using low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) has not been well described in head and neck oncologic surgery with free tissue transfer (HNS-FTT). [METHODS] Retrospective chart review of…

[INTRODUCTION] Anxiety is present in 30-40% of patients with cervical dystonia (CD). It has been ascribed to a direct effect of the state of motor symptoms on related pain, disability, and disfigurement. Accordingly, any reported benefit of…

[PURPOSE] Radial forearm free tissue transfer (RFFF) has been an extremely reliable reconstructive option for head and neck oncologic defects for over 30 years. With high reliability, interest has shifted in minimizing donor site morbidity,…

[BACKGROUND] Because patient satisfaction is a significant qualitative consideration in measuring aesthetic surgery outcome, it is important to characterize the individual factors that shape the patient perspective about blepharoplasty. [O…

[PURPOSE] Patient satisfaction in esthetic surgery often necessitates synergy between patient and physician goals. The authors aim to characterize patient questions before and after mentoplasty to reflect the patient perspective and enhance…

[PURPOSE] To survey current hand surgery fellows on the perceived impact of residents on their fellowship educational experience. [METHODS] Electronic surveys were distributed to 177 hand surgery fellows in the United States. The survey wa…

[INTRODUCTION] Historically, there were concerns vasopressors impair free flap outcomes, but recent studies suggest vasopressors are safe. Here we investigate this controversy by (1) evaluating vasopressors' effect on head and neck free-fla…

[OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS] Early and objective prediction of complications in head and neck reconstructive surgery could decrease morbidity and prolonged hospital stays but unfortunately most complications are not identified until their effect …

Bilateral Tessier type 4 craniofacial clefts are extremely rare and disfiguring malformations with vision-threatening ramifications. To date, there is no consensus in the literature with respect to the ideal surgical technique and managemen…

[PURPOSE] Latissimus dorsi (LD) breast reconstruction is of proven efficacy. Advantages of thoracodorsal nerve transection are potential prevention of muscle spasticity/movement; disadvantages are possible long-term muscle atrophy and volum…

Many patients are pursuing simultaneous facial and hand rejuvenation with the latter receiving increased interest in recent years. Various materials have been purported to rejuvenate the hands including fat, calcium hydroxyapatite, and hyal…

[PURPOSE] We evaluated the efficacy and safety outcomes of endoscopic intradetrusor botulinum toxin A (BTA) injections for the treatment of children with neuropathic bladder (NB) and non-neuropathic bladder (NNB) with or without detrusor ov…

[BACKGROUND] The assessment and treatment of writer's cramp is complicated due to the variations in the forces and angles of involved joints. Additionally, in some cases compensatory movements for cramp relief further complicates assessment…

[INTRODUCTION] Writer's cramp is a specific focal hand dystonia causing abnormal posturing and tremor in the upper limb. The most popular medical intervention, botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) therapy, is variably effective for 50-70% o…

Oromandibular dystonia is a disorder of movement that is often misdiagnosed. We present our experience of six patients treated with botulinum A toxin, for whom we recorded the symptoms, the group of muscles targeted, and the quantity of bot…

Capsular contracture is the most common and frustrating complication in women who have undergone breast implantation. Its cause and, accordingly, treatment and prevention remain to be elucidated fully. The aim of this prospective observatio…
