[BACKGROUND] Contemporary lip augmentation has evolved from simple volumization techniques to more intricate contour-specific enhancements. Among these advancements, the Modified Cupid's bow lips, characterized by their distinctive Cupid's …

Superfine recycled regenerated silk fibroin (RRSF) monofilament sutures are designed to minimize surgical incisions, prevent scar formation, and facilitate precise suturing in cosmetic and plastic surgeries. However, balancing fineness and …

[PURPOSE] The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap serves as a pivotal technique for maxillofacial defect restoration. The prognosis of free flap repair is critically tied to the quality of vascular anastomosis. In this study, we introduced the K…

Minimally invasive osteotomy and precise root-end resection are key factors in endodontic microsurgery (EMS), particularly in the mandibular molars. Autonomous robotic (ATR) systems facilitate accurate presurgical planning and real-time rob…

Accumulating evidence from animals has shown that multiple exposures to general anesthetics during brain development may cause extensive neuronal apoptosis and long-term memory impairments. However, the underlying mechanism is still poorly …

[INTRODUCTION] Blepharospasm (BSP) is a functionally disabling disease with a marked impact on the quality of life of patients. Botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections have been recommended as first-line therapy for BSP. However, the clinical ben…

[RATIONALE] Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) of the salivary glands is a rare low-grade malignant tumor. This type of tumor is particularly uncommon in the sublingual glands. [PATIENT CONCERNS] A 57-year-old female with a mass on th…

Botulinum neurotoxin-A (BoNT-A) injections are effective for focal spasticity. However, the impact on muscle strength is not established. This study aimed to investigate the effect of BoNT-A injections on muscle strength in adult neurologic…

Botulinum toxin (BoNT) from Clostridium botulinum is the most toxic biotoxin known and is also an important bioterrorism agent. After poisoning, the only effective treatment is injection of antitoxin. However, neutralizing nanoantibodies ar…

Among all natural and synthetic toxins, botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), produced by in an anaerobic environment, are the most toxic polymer proteins. Currently, the most effective modalities for botulism prevention and treatment are vaccina…

[BACKGROUND] Thread-lifting (TL) is a minimally-invasive technique for facial rejuvenation, whereas liposuction is commonly used for facial contouring. This retrospective cohort study aims to introduce and evaluate a novel technique that co…

[BACKGROUND] Oil compromises graft outcomes via inflammation, which accounts for the unpredictability of volume retention rates as low as 20%. Existing techniques for oil removal are relatively inefficient. In this study, a novel approach w…

[BACKGROUND] Incisional double-eyelid blepharoplasty is the main surgical technique to obtain an artificial crease. Postoperative complications decrease patients' satisfaction, and patients with prominent depressed groove and persistent pre…

[BACKGROUND] Double eyelid blepharoplasty is the most popular cosmetic operation in Asian population. Various surgical techniques have been developed in order to create dynamic eyelid folds with natural-looking in recent years, but postoper…

[INTRODUCTION] This article aimed to investigate the effects of the endoscopic-assisted microsurgery technique on the resection of large (Koos grade IV) vestibular schwannoma (VS) and provide a prognosis analysis of the patients. [METHODS]…

[BACKGROUND] Avulsion of the scalp is a rare destructive event worldwide. Before the emergence of microsurgery, skin transplantation, flap transplantation, greater omentum transplantation, and other methods were once widely used. However, r…

Reconstruction of large craniofacial defect after plexiform neurofibroma excision poses a continuous challenge for plastic surgeons, on account of characteristics of plexiform neurofibroma and patients' aesthetic requirements. Skin graft or…

[BACKGROUND] Despite advancements in endovascular techniques, microsurgical treatment for posterior circulation aneurysms remains challenging. [METHOD] This report highlights the successful clipping surgery of a 17-year-old female patient …

[BACKGROUND] The treatment of intracranial aneurysms has predominantly shifted towards endovascular strategies, but complex cases still necessitate microsurgery. Preoperative stimulation can be beneficial for inexperienced young neurosurgeo…

[OBJECTIVE] Topical injection of growth factor (GF) for facial rejuvenation is unauthorized, but it is commonly performed in China, leading to emerging and challenging complications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical,…

[BACKGROUND] For a long time, to achieve the natural shape of double-eyelid crease, multiple techniques of double-eyelid plastic surgery have been developed. We describe the trapezoid orbital septum membrane flap in blepharoplasty to achiev…

Asian nasal characteristics include a low dorsum, short nose, and thick skin envelope, usually requiring lengthening and elevating the nose during rhinoplasty ( Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am 2007;15(3):293-307, v). The increase in rhinopl…

The brain is a delicate organ in the human body that requires extreme care. Brain-related diseases are unavoidable. Perse, neurosurgery is a complicated procedure that demands high precision and accuracy. Developing a surgical robot is a co…

[OBJECTIVES] This study aimed to establish and validate machine learning models for prognosis prediction in endodontic microsurgery, avoiding treatment failure and supporting clinical decision-making. [METHODS] A total of 234 teeth from 17…
