Free tissue transfer using the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap represents the gold-standard for autologous breast reconstruction. Raynaud's disease, characterized by vasospasm, thrombosis, and a hypercoagulable state, poses …

Compared with traditional deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction procedures, robotic-assisted DIEP (R-DIEP) minimizes abdominal wall morbidity by reducing fascial incision length. Optimal R-DIEP candidates hav…

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated lipodystrophy is a well-recognized complication of long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART), characterized by abnormal fat distribution. In the head and neck, it typically present as an obtuse hea…

[INTRODUCTION] Breast augmentation remains one of the most common cosmetic surgical procedures globally yet implant surface preference (textured versus smooth) remains a key area of debate. Whilst textured implants have traditionally been f…

[INTRODUCTION] With the recent transition to smooth tissue expanders (TEs), functional differences between TE subtypes have not been fully elucidated. This study evaluated the differences in TE characteristics and complications between 2 co…

[BACKGROUND] Artificial dermal substitutes (ADMs) have been trialled to improve outcomes at the donor site following the harvesting of a radial forearm free flap (RFFF). This systematic review compares donor site aesthetic and functional ou…

[BACKGROUND] Depression and anxiety have a complex association with opioid dependence, though their impact on acute postoperative pain is unclear. The present study investigated the impact of depression and anxiety on acute postoperative pa…

[BACKGROUND] Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are among the most used fillers for soft-tissue augmentation. There are now many FDA-approved HA products, and the successful use of injectable HA fillers requires an understanding of the available …

Chronic sialorrhea is a condition characterized by excessive drooling, often associated with neurological and neuromuscular disorders such as Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, and stroke. Despite its prevalence, it remains underdiagnosed…

Infertility affects nearly 186 million people worldwide and the male partner is the cause in about half of the cases. Meta-regression data indicate an unexplained decline in sperm concentration and total sperm count over the last four decad…

Relapsing polychondritis is a rare autoimmune disorder of unknown cause characterized by recurrent inflammation of cartilage predominantly affecting the ears, nose, and upper airway. The bridge of the nose and surrounding tissue can collaps…

Unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity (uCLND) is associated with olfactory dysfunction, but the underlying etiology remains poorly understood. To investigate the etiology of uCLND-associated olfactory dysfunction using clinical, computation…

[BACKGROUND]  Surgical drains are routinely used following autologous reconstruction, but are often cited as the leading cause of peri-operative discomfort. This study defined routine drain use duration and assessed the risk factors for pro…

[INTRODUCTION] While there is extensive literature investigating surgical outcomes in free flaps for adults, there is a dearth of information on the efficacy of flap use in the pediatric population. This study is the first to measure compli…

[PURPOSE] Individuals with unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity (uCLND) often require rhinoplasty in adolescence to correct nasal obstruction. The intent of this study is to identify sites of greatest nasal obstruction and evaluate the effe…

[INTRODUCTION] Patient selection for autologous tissue transfer for postmastectomy breast reconstruction often utilizes body mass index (BMI) to risk stratify patients, though it only estimates fat content and does not address fat distribut…

The current state of the opioid epidemic has revealed the need of utilizing proper pain management, especially in the postoperative setting where there is overuse of potent analgesics. However, the adequate treatment of pain is necessary to…

[BACKGROUND] Access to effective surgical treatments such as breast reduction is often restricted on the grounds of patient obesity. However, there is a lack of unambiguous data on the surgical risks of obesity in patients undergoing breast…
