[OBJECTIVE] transkeyhole microsurgery for spinal cord tumors requires intraoperative imaging guidance to ensure safe and effective tumor resection. Although optical endoscopy has been widely adopted in clinical settings, it's limited to vis…

[BACKGROUND] Full-incision double eyelid blepharoplasty is a widely sought-after procedure in East Asia. However, tarsus-skin or levator aponeurosis-skin fixation techniques may lead to deep folds and scarring. This study aimed to evaluate …

[BACKGROUND] Sunken upper eyelids convey an impression of fatigue. Pedicled orbital fat fascia flap (POFFF) transposition has been commonly adopted as an effective technique for augmenting upper eyelid volume. Nevertheless, objective quanti…

[BACKGROUND] Asymmetry of the bilateral nostrils is one of the most common deformities associated with secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity. In this study, we introduce a novel concept of the "nostril ring" and propose a series of…

[BACKGROUND] Nasal base depression is a frequent aesthetic concern in rhinoplasty, particularly in patients with midfacial retrusion. This study introduces a fascia transplantation technique to correct alar base (paranasal) depression and r…

[BACKGROUNDS] The widespread adoption of double eyelid tapes (DET) to achieve the desired double eyelid aesthetic has prompted investigations into their long-term effects. Given the delicate and complex anatomy of the eyelid, concerns have …

[BACKGROUND] Alar retraction is characterized by excessive nostril exposure and presents a significant challenge in rhinoplasty, particularly in cases of severe alar retraction. This study aimed to introduce a novel treatment approach for s…

[BACKGROUND] Bulbous nasal tips in East Asian patients are often caused by thick skin and soft tissue hypertrophy, presenting challenges in rhinoplasty. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of supratip excision combined with cartila…

[BACKGROUND] The robotic hair transplant technology, ARTAS, has a series of fine mechanical structure and an intelligent recognition system that allows it to independently select hair follicular units (FUs) and effectively harvest hair. Aft…

[BACKGROUND] Supratip deformity, also known as pollybeak deformity, is a common complication of primary and secondary rhinoplasty, characterized by fullness in the supratip region. The correction of pollybeak deformity is a challenging proc…

[BACKGROUND] Nasal septal mucosal defects following rhinoplasty in Asian patients are uncommon complications. However, the reconstruction of such defects presents a challenging task in plastic surgery. The aim of this study was to present c…

[OBJECTIVES] Following primary surgery for unilateral cleft lip palate (UCLP), cleft lip nasal deformities (CLNDs) (nasal asymmetry, collapsed nasal alae, and a widened alar base) are generally inevitable and often require secondary rhinopl…

This study assesses ChatGPT's (GPT-3.5) performance on the 2021 ASPS Plastic Surgery In-Service Examination using prompt modifications and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). ChatGPT was instructed to act as a "resident," "attending," or …

[BACKGROUND] Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) located at craniocervical junction are extremely rare (1%-2% of intracranial/spinal dAVFs). Their angio-architectural complexity renders endovascular embolization to be challenging given mul…

[OBJECTIVE] Current knowledge about venous hypertensive myelopathy (VHM) is incomplete. This study was performed with the aim of clarifying the clinical features and outcomes of craniocervical VHM. [METHODS] This retrospective, single-cent…

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have evolved since their introduction to medicine in the 1990s. More powerful software, the miniaturization of hardware, and greater accessibility and affordability enabled novel applications …

[OBJECTIVE] Alar retraction is considered a challenge in rhinoplasty. The classification of alar retraction remains poorly defined, especially in Asia. Patients with alar retraction are associated with excessive exposure to the nostrils in …

To introduce a classification of alar retraction, and to discuss the therapeutic strategy of alar retraction with cartilage graft and the satisfaction evaluation of patients after operation. A retrospective analysis was performed on 88 pat…

[BACKGROUND] Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is the most common tumour of the cerebellopontine angle. Owing to complex anatomy and high rates of morbidity, surgical management of large tumours is challenging. We seek to explore the clinical land…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of microsurgery practice during an interval in robotic surgical training. [METHODS] Two participant groups with 30 trainees each practiced Thread the Rings 1 on a dV-Trainer. There…

[BACKGROUND] In Asian women, upper eyelid skin laxity, lateral hooding, and upper eyelid and brow asymmetry in the aging upper eyelid are prominently and frequently seen. It is difficult to completely resolve these problems with the classic…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat grafting is a rapidly developing soft tissue filling technique that has been playing an increasingly important role in facial contouring and rejuvenation surgeries. However, this technique is accompanied by many …

[OBJECTIVE] To explore the method of implant coverage with local soft tissue in immediate implant-based breast reconstruction and to evaluate the early effectiveness. [METHODS] Between April 2014 and August 2015, 11 patients with breast ca…

[OBJECTIVE] To explore the techniques and short-term effectivness of contralateral breast symmetrization mammaplasty in breast reconstruction. [METHODS] Between February 2014 and December 2015, 11 patients received immediate or delayed bre…
