[OBJECTIVE] Meige syndrome is a complex movement disorder characterized by blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia that is often resistant to conventional pharmacological and botulinum toxin treatments. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) offers …

[BACKGROUND] The success of virtual surgical planning (VSP) in bimaxillary orthognathic surgery relies on the precise translation of digital plans into operative outcomes. Although computer-assisted design and 3D-printed surgical guides are…

[BACKGROUND] Sacral terminal filar cysts are a rare and distinctive type of sacral canal cyst, which are anatomically characterized by the presence of filum terminale within the cyst rather than nerve roots. Given their rarity and therapeut…

[BACKGROUND] The zygomatic complex plays a key role midfacial contour. In many Asian cultures, a softer facial appearance is preferred, making prominent zygoma less desirable. While reduction malarplasty is effective for contouring, it can …

Aberrant osteoclast activation in subchondral bone is a hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA). This study identifies calreticulin (CALR), a key immunogenic cell death (ICD) marker, as a critical regulator of osteoclast differentiation and OA path…

The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of the patients who underwent himi-lengthening genioplasty (HLG) in our department since 2020, using digital technology for a comprehensive comparative analysis of bone stability, facial symmet…

[BACKGROUND] The increasing demand for correcting ptosis has made mastopexy one of the most common procedures in plastic surgery. While various techniques have been developed, clinical outcomes often require refinement. In this study, we em…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation remains one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures worldwide. However, the reoperation rate following mammoplasty reaches up to 36%, with implant malposition being a major cause of revision surge…

Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the Table of Contents or the online Instructions to Authors …

[BACKGROUND] Forehead augmentation have become popular aesthetic procedures among Asians in recent years. However, the use of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) patient-specific implant (PSI) in the facial contouring surgery for aesthetic consider…

[BACKGROUND] Ultrasonic scalpel has been reported to be superior to conventional electrocautery in many studies. However, with respect to transaxillary endoscopic breast augmentation, few studies on the effect of ultrasonic scalpel are avai…

[BACKGROUND] Several genioplasty techniques can narrow the width of the chin. Nevertheless, patients with a broad and short chin who received these methods were unsatisfied with the outcomes. The goal of this study was to analyze the clinic…

Mandibular asymmetry is among the most common facial anomalies. Traditionally, mandibular asymmetry with malocclusion has been treated with orthognathic surgery and genioplasty. However, routine genioplasty cannot achieve a satisfactory con…

From July 2020 to March 2022, 3 patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and microgenia underwent transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery via a vestibular approach or a endoscopic lateral neck dissection via the breast and transoral approa…

Exosomes (Exos) secreted by adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have shown potential in alleviating osteoarthritis (OA). Previous studies indicated that infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) derived stem cells (IPFSCs) may be more suitable for the tr…

[BACKGROUND] To correct nasal tip cephalic rotation, SEG made of cartilage or Medpor are often used in rhinoplasty. These techniques require extensive experience for the surgeon, and not all patients can accept this procedure. In this resea…

Since autologous cartilage is a good transplant material, it is widely used in various fields of clinical medicine. In this study, we collected clinical specimens obtained at different numbers of years after transplantation and used histolo…

Autologous auricular cartilage is used extensively as a good graft material in rhinoplasty. In this study, clinical specimens from patients who underwent revision rhinoplasty with auricular cartilage grafts were collected to compare the cha…

[OBJECTIVE] This study aimed to determine whether skin flap warming after an operation interferes with temperature monitoring. The postoperative nursing workflow of subabdominal deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap breast …

[OBJECTIVES] To locate an anastomosable constant perforator of the radial artery on the proximal forearm using ultrasonography and describe the application of a free radial artery flap based on a single proximal perforator for the reconstru…

[BACKGROUND] Adverse environmental exposure during the prenatal period can lead to diseases in the offspring, including hypertension. Whether or not the hypertensive phenotype can be transgenerationally transmitted is not known. [METHODS] …

This study aimed to explore and analyze the factors influencing the drainage volume after comprehensive rhinoplasty. The clinical data of 102 patients who underwent comprehensive rhinoplasty at Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital affiliated to…

[BACKGROUND] Patients with alveolar cleft unrepaired suffer from nasal deformities of different magnitude. Bone and cartilage grafts are harvested through several incisions. In this study, we present a method to simultaneously correct nasal…

[BACKGROUND/PURPOSE] Anterolateral thigh perforator (ALTP) flap and deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap have been advantageous over traditional myocutaneous flaps as they preserve the integrity of donor site muscles and minimize…

Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) is essential for osteoclast differentiation, and reduced VASP expression results in depressed osteoclast differentiation. Previously, we demonstrated the importance of VASP and Ras-related C3 bot…

[BACKGROUND] Improving the posterior airway space is one of the most important functions of genioplasty. Studies have shown that the posterior airway space (PAS) can play an important role in the evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea syndro…

We reported a 16-year-old patient with chin defect accompanying micrognathia and airway stenosis owing to a traffic accident. The treatment of this patient involved a modified genioplasty associated with orthognathic surgeries. Through data…

Mental nerve (MN) injury is the most common complications of genioplasty; to protect the MN and oral mucosa, the authors invent and validate the appropriate retractors for genioplasty, and which can avoid the skin and mucous membrane of the…
