[BACKGROUND] Submental hematoma after genioplasty is rare but can be life-threatening, and current imaging data give limited patient-specific guidance for chin osteotomy design. [METHODS] We combined targeted cadaveric dissection of two pe…

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a disorder characterized by recurrent, severe, brief pain in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Secondary TN may be caused by tumors in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA), including vestibular schwannomas (…

This study aims to evaluate the surgical outcomes and clinical differences of elderly vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients (> 65 years), compared with non-elderly patients, focusing on baseline characteristics, preoperative symptoms, postope…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] The aim of this retrospective study was to identify predictors of long-term dysfunction of the nervus intermedius (NI) after vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery. [METHODS] A follow-up questionnaire was administer…

[BACKGROUND] Anterolateral thigh adipofascial free flap transfer is a frequently used method to reconstruct facial symmetry and restore facial soft-tissue contour in patients with Parry-Romberg syndrome, but long-term prognosis and outcomes…

[BACKGROUND] In east Asia, lower face contouring surgeries including reduction mandibuloplasty and genioplasty are the most popular aesthetic craniofacial surgeries. Conventional selection of surgical strategies mainly relied on the visual …

[OBJECTIVE] The surgical management of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) caused by petrous apex meningioma (PAM) is still a challenge because of the lesion's deep location and the surrounding complex structures. The authors describe the intradural …

[BACKGROUND] Total removal of the vestibular schwannoma when preserving the function of the facial nerve is difficult. The objective of the current study was to investigate the short-term clinical outcome of vestibular schwannoma removal vi…

[OBJECTIVE] Facial nerve (FN) function preservation is the primary goal during vestibular schwannoma (VS) resection. Many factors are linked to postoperative FN outcomes. In the present study, we evaluated the association between FN length …

The main objectives of microsurgery for vestibular schwannoma are total tumor removal and preservation of facial and cochlear nerve function. For giant tumors, total tumor removal and facial nerve function preservation are challenging. The …

[BACKGROUND] In facial contour surgery, due to the narrow field of vision in the oral approach and the abundant blood supply to the maxillofacial area, hemostasis is not easy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hemostatic effect …

[BACKGROUND] Surgery-first sagittal split ramus osteotomies (SF-SSRO) are an effective treatment for patients with dental malocclusion. However, some patients with mandibular prognathism usually have facial deficiencies which cannot be corr…

[BACKGROUND] The awareness and treatment of lacrimal gland prolapse (LGP) have been primarily improved with a further understanding of lateral eyelid bulging over the decades. However, for Asian single-eyelid females with LGP, a tailor-made…

Auricular cartilage is a common autologous graft material for rhinoplasty. Even though surgical techniques for the harvest of cartilage graft are well established, the management of the postoperative dressing fixation is still limited. Ther…

[BACKGROUND] Mandibular angle ostectomy is a common plastic surgery for facial contouring in East Asians. However, rarely we could find reports on differences between East Asian males and females undergoing this surgery. [OBJECTIVE] To des…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin type A-induced "chemoimmobilization" has long been utilized for improved scar quality and wound healing; however, current evidence is limited to small studies, and evidence-based information is inadequate to mak…

[BACKGROUND] Mandibular angle ostectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures for facial contouring in Asian women. However, some patients complain about mandibular angle hypertrophy recurrence after surgery. The present study evalu…

[BACKGROUND] The epicanthus can weaken the effect of blepharoplasty, which makes it difficult to form the out-fold type double eyelids preferred by Asian women. The integration of blepharoplasty and Z-epicanthoplasty has become increasingly…
