Radiotherapy is essential for achieving and maintaining local control in head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) patients. However, radiotherapy may cause outgrowth disturbances of facial bone and soft tissue, resulting in facial asymmetry. Th…

[OBJECTIVES] Stable condyle positioning is crucial for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, but its long-term stability in patients undergoing segmental mandibulectomy with free fibular flap (FFF) reconstruction is unclear. This study ai…

Lymphedema is a chronic, dynamic, and multifaceted disease that is effectively treated by surgery. However, there is a lack of consensus in the field about the ideal technique; is it better to perform one surgery type at a time (the "single…

[INTRODUCTION] Research on gender-affirming surgery (GAS) is essential to advancing and optimizing surgical techniques, understanding long-term outcomes, and reducing health disparities. Multidisciplinary collaboration is crucial for optima…

Interest in gender-affirming surgery (GAS) is growing in plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS), yet GAS exposure during PRS sub-internships remains underemphasized. This study assessed GAS exposure during these rotations via a cross-sect…

[BACKGROUND] Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) impairs hippocampal microglial efferocytosis, causing cognitive deficits. Previous research found that milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 protein (MFGE8) stimulates efferocytosis, …

[BACKGROUND] Research on the diverse patient population undergoing gender-affirming breast augmentation remains scarce. We compared patients undergoing this procedure at San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG), a county hospital, and the Univ…

[BACKGROUND] Gender-affirming surgery (GAS) is a rapidly growing field within plastic surgery, and residents and fellows must receive appropriate training. However, there are no standardized surgical training curricula. The objective of thi…

Most patients undergo just one type of gender-affirming top surgery, but some will have a double-incision mastectomy after reduction mammaplasty. We describe a 46-year-old transgender man who requested a flatter chest after undergoing reduc…

[BACKGROUND] Clinical trials form the backbone of evidence-based medicine. ClinicalTrials.gov is the world's largest clinical trial registry, and the state of clinical trials in plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) within that database …

[BACKGROUND] To continue education during the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented a Virtual Education Platform (VEP) and Virtual Visiting Professorship (VVP) in March 2020 into our plastic surgery residency curriculum. This study investigated…

Even with Dupuytren's proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) contractures successfully released, volar flexor muscle memory can contribute to persistent contracture. We report using botulinum toxin (BoNTA) to the flexor digitorum superficial…

[BACKGROUND] Social media platforms have changed the way medical information is disseminated. Transgender patients may utilize social media to learn about gender-affirming surgery (GAS). Although videos on social media are readily accessibl…

[UNLABELLED] According to cisgender respondents, the "preferred" feminine breast has a 45:55 upper-to-lower pole ratio. Preferred breast ratios have not been evaluated for transgender women undergoing breast augmentation. Therefore, this st…

Acid-sensitive ion channels (ASICs) as Ca and Na cation channels are activated by changing in extracellular pH, which expressed in various diseases and participated in underlying pathogenesis. ASIC1a is involved in migration and invasion of…

[BACKGROUND] Safety, efficacy, and time to onset of effect of botulinum toxin type A is of importance to persons who seek improvement in glabellar frown lines, but this has not been well studied. The aim of this study was to determine the s…

[PURPOSE] Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are known to be potentially effective in regeneration of damaged tissue. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of intracoronary administration of ADSCs in reducing the infarction area and improvin…

Skin surface irregularity is the most common side effect after liposuction. To reduce this, it is necessary to devise a systematic method to provide structural composition details of skin layers, such as fat thickness and fat boundary tilt …

Sudden death caused by tumors is uncommon. Death attributable to an unsuspected primary intracranial neoplasm is especially rare. An undiagnosed brain tumor is particularly unusual in a patient with Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis (N…
