[BACKGROUND] Reconstruction with medial sural artery perforator flap is gaining popularity and is subject of study since a decade in oral squamous cell carcinoma cases. This flap is proving to have more benefits over other free flap reconst…

[BACKGROUND] High-voltage electrical burns of the extremities often result in deep tissue destruction with exposure of vital structures, necessitating free flap reconstruction. However, the optimal timing for reconstruction remains uncertai…

[BACKGROUND] Retroauricular robotic neck dissection is a remote-access approach designed for cervical nodal clearance while concealing the incision. We describe our operative technique and early feasibility in carefully selected patients wi…

[BACKGROUND] Achieving functional results in nasal reconstruction necessitates a focus on structural integrity. Surgeons are often challenged by limited supply of donor material for grafting. This study aims to determine the types and mater…

[AIM] The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the interrupted horizontal micro mattress suturing technique in anastomosing size-mismatched vessels during free flap surgeries. [MATERIAL & METHOD] The study included patients who und…

Phalloplasty has become an increasingly prevalent component of gender affirming surgery in recent years. While it is most commonly performed using a radial forearm free flap (RFFF) due to the thin and pliable nature of this tissue, the larg…

[PURPOSE] Orocervical (OCF) or pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) are one of the disastrous complications of head and neck cancer surgery. Conventional standards of management are predominantly conservative. Though a majority of such patients …

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to characterize the quality and quantity of the research output of matriculants in the top 30 Integrated Plastic Surgery residency programs. [METHODS] PubMed-indexed publications co-authored by students who su…

[BACKGROUND]  Preoperative imaging prior to deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap harvest is a common practice to locate perforators and identify aberrant anatomy. [METHODS]  We report a retrospective review of 320 consecutive pa…

[BACKGROUND] Resection of oral cavity carcinoma often leads to complex defects causing functional and aesthetic morbidity. Providing optimum reconstruction with free flaps becomes challenging in a high-volume center setting with constrained…

[BACKGROUND] The most common form of movement disorder presented in children with cerebral palsy is spasticity, and dynamic equinus is the most common spastic ankle deformity. Botulinum toxin (BT) injection is now an established first-line …

[INTRODUCTION] Resident performance on the Plastic Surgery In-Service Examination (PSITE) is used as a predictor of success on the American Board of Plastic Surgery Written Examination, as well as resident progression and fellowship applica…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture (CC) is a common long-term complication following prosthetic-based breast reconstruction (PBBR). Seven cases of CC following mRNA vaccination for coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) are reported in the literature. …

 Reconstruction with free flaps becomes a challenge in recurrent cases having previously treated necks, in patients who have received prior radiation therapy or chemotherapy or both, and where the patient has already undergone free flap rec…

[AIM] To compare the expansion of maxillary antrum between periapical surgery and extraction of permanent maxillary first molar in pediatric patients using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). [MATERIALS AND METHODS] In this study, 136 pa…

The management of patients with a triad of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis, retrognathia, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has long been a matter of debate. Even though consensus favors distraction osteogenesis (DO) in the 1st phas…

Schwannomas of the sinonasal compartment are rare benign neoplasms of peripheral nerve sheath origin and constitute ~ 4% of all head and neck schwannomas. The presentation may simulate a range of benign and intermediate grade pathologies. M…

Treatment of nasal deformity and obstruction requires analysis, planning, and precise execution of rhinoplasty techniques. When performed well, rhinoplasty is a powerful tool for achieving appealing nasal morphology and optimizing function.…

The dose-limiting salivary gland toxicity of Ac-labelled PSMA for treatment of metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer remains unresolved. Suppressing the metabolism of the gland by intraparenchymal injections of botulinum toxin ap…

[AIM] To assess the use of Cochrane Reviews to inform the medical policy documents of major US private payers. [METHODS] The publically available drug policy documents of the five major US private payers (covering about 50% market) namely:…

The aim of this study was to analyze the long term impact of different surgical techniques especially osteotomies and structural grafts especially spreader grafts in terms of functional and aesthetic outcomes in cases of severely deviated n…

[BACKGROUND] The rhytidectomy approach for parotidectomy allows the incision to be hidden, and post-operative scarring minimised. Furthermore, separate elevation of the Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS) reduces the incidence of …

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and its soluble receptor (IL-6sR) can markedly stimulate aromatase activity in cultured fibroblasts derived from normal or malignant breast tissues. IL-6 acts by binding to a low-affinity membrane-spanning receptor (IL-…

The aromatase enzyme complex, which regulates the conversion of androstenedione to estrone, may have an important role in regulating estrogen synthesis in breast tissues. In this study the effect of tumor location on aromatase activity in a…

A case of Goldenhar's syndrome in a three months old male child with epibulbar dermoid (Fig. 1), accessory auricular appendages (Fig. 2), transverse facial cleft (Figs. 1 and 3), pedunculated mass on the left cheek (Figs. 2 and 3), asymmetr…
