[BACKGROUND] Fat grafting is widely used in breast reconstruction and aesthetic plastic surgery. However, the success rate and effects of fat grafting, especially in elderly female donors, are observed. This study aimed to explore the diffe…

[BACKGROUND] In East Asian individuals, the nasal bone already has sufficient height for an ideal dorsal profile, but the tip requires enhancement for a desired projection. Consequently, the gap between the intrinsic bony structure and the …

[INTRODUCTION] Rhinoplasty for caudal septal cartilage defects is a challenge due to the difficulty of fixation of the grafts. [OBJECTIVES] This study presents an approach for correcting defects in caudal septal cartilage with the costal c…

[BACKGROUND] An enduringly stable tip graft is the key to achieve successful rhinoplasty cases. However, the intrinsic nature of rib graft warping renders major unpredictability for the long-term outcome. The objective of this study was to …

The use of autologous costal cartilage in augmentation rhinoplasty is well-established. However, scenarios where costal cartilage is insufficient or patients are unwilling to undergo additional cartilage harvesting present a challenge. This…

Concentrated growth factor (CGF), which is a third-generation platelet concentrate product, exhibits good potential for repair and regeneration of soft and hard tissues, and has gradually attracted attention in the field of cosmetic plastic…

Papillary thyroid carcinoma with esophageal invasion often requires simultaneous reconstruction after radical tumor resection. However, in a recurrent case, with the upper aerodigestive tract previously reconstructed by a free flap, the alt…

[AIM] To explore the surgical approach, technique and clinical effect of treating basilar bifurcation aneurysms. [MATERIAL AND METHODS] The clinical data of basilar bifurcation aneurysms treated by neuro-microsurgery are retrospectively an…

[OBJECTIVE] We aimed to validate and evaluate the comprehensive complication index (CCI) as a measure of postoperative complications (POCs) in the patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who had undergone free-flap recon…

[BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE] Predicting tumour response would be useful for selecting patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) for organ preservation strategies. We aimed to develop and validate a prediction model for T downstaging (…

To discuss the clinical features and surgical outcomes of spinal epidural angiolipomas. We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients with spinal epidural angiolipomas who were performed microsurgery between January 2003 and D…

Free tissue transfer is a great method for the reconstruction of craniofacial defects, especially in complicated situations such as calvarial defects and dura exposure. Latissimus dorsi muscle flap, anterolateral thigh flap, and radial fore…

[BACKGROUND] In cases of rectal cancer surgery, patients at high risk of anastomotic leakage often receive a defunctioning stoma (DS). However, its role in postoperative anastomotic strictures (AS) remains unclear. This study aimed to inves…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to compare the risk and benefit profile of microsurgery (MS) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) as the first-line treatment for unruptured and ruptured arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). [MATERIALS AND METHO…

[BACKGROUND] Hyaluronic acid is the most popular dermal filler in the treatment of nasolabial folds. Injection methods vary among physicians. [METHODS] A randomized, two-center, double-blind, intraindividual trial was designed to compare a…

[BACKGROUND] Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the most popular filler agents for skin rejuvenation. Although 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether is regarded as a relatively safe cross-linker, it still exhibits certain cytotoxicity. [OBJECTIVES…

Complex ventral hernia remains a challenging situation for any surgeon. In this study, our aim was to analyze the effect of laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) repair in the treatment of complex abdominal wall hernia, with the as…

Treatment of wrinkles and dynamic lines with botulinum toxin has been a routine practice for years in aesthetic clinical settings. The effective treatment of wrinkles requires a comprehensive understanding of facial expression muscles and t…

[BACKGROUND] In recent years, the thread-lifting technique has become widely used in clinical settings. Several thread products are used in clinical practice, and there are many differences between products in terms of many aspects. [METHO…

The objective is to evaluate the inter-recti distance on ultrasound measurement at different locations in healthy nulliparas. Electronic databases were searched for studies describing the inter-recti distance measured by ultrasound in healt…

[BACKGROUND] Many patients suffered from serious pain after breast augmentation, but the analgesic efficacy of pectoral nerve block for these patients was not well established. Thus, this meta-analysis was intended to study the analgesic ef…

[BACKGROUND] Secondary blepharoplasty to correct a high crease is considered challenging for most surgeons, especially in patients who show overly excessive removal of eyelid tissue in Asians. Therefore, we define a typical difficult second…

[BACKGROUND] Tear trough deformity is one of the most common complaints in clinical settings. The correction of this groove is challenging in facial rejuvenation. The lower eyelid blepharoplasty varies with different conditions. A novel app…

[BACKGROUND] Tessier No.0 cleft with a bifid nose is a rare malformation. Reconstruction of the nose is essential for children/adults to correct facial cosmetic defects and contribute to developing patients' mental health. The aim of the st…

[BACKGROUND] An enduringly stable tip graft is the key to achieving successful rhinoplasty. However, the intrinsic tendency of rib grafts to warp renders the long-term outcome of cartilage-based rhinoplasty highly unpredictable. [OBJECTIVE…

[BACKGROUND] The camouflage of the nasal dorsum is very important for thin-skinned patients. In this study, the authors presented an improved method for these patients and evaluated the safety and efficacy of this method in augmentation rhi…

[BACKGROUND] The costal cartilage is widely used in rhinoplasty. Although different surgical methods of costal cartilage harvest have been developed, few studies have reported the method of costal cartilage harvest for patients after breast…

[BACKGROUND] It is undeniable that costal cartilage is an excellent source of grafts, however it has some potential disadvantages, including a tendency to warp. There are very few studies that have examined how to resolve preexisting cartil…

[BACKGROUND] Secondary deformities of the cleft lip and nose are mainly caused by the long period of craniofacial development and the secondary scarring. Correction of the secondary cleft lip-nose deformity is a complex process that require…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty with autologous costal cartilage (ACC) is followed by severe pain in the chest. Ultrasound-guided (USG) serratus anterior plane block (SAPB), in combination with parasternal block (PSB), was earlier reported to be h…
