[BACKGROUND] Autologous fascia has been widely applied in rhinoplasty, yet prospective data on the supramastoid donor site remain scarce. This region provides a dense, pliable fascial layer with concealed scarring, potentially suitable for …

[BACKGROUND] Bibliometric analyses of software applications in plastic surgery are relatively limited. This study aims to address this gap by summarizing current research trends and providing insights that may guide future developments in t…

[INTRODUCTION] Changing opiate prescribing practices in surgical fields without guidelines or standardizations can be a daunting task. An encouraging amount of literature has shown the benefits of reducing opioid use, but many plastic surge…

[BACKGROUND] Plastic surgery-related diseases impose a substantial and growing burden on global health systems, yet comprehensive estimates of their temporal trends and future projections remain scarce. This study aims to quantify the globa…

[BACKGROUND] The radial forearm flap (RFF) is one of the most commonly used flaps in reconstructive surgery. Split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) has traditionally been used for closure of the forearm. However, full-thickness skin grafting …

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to investigate the incidence of toe flexion deformity after fibular free flap transplantation and to analyze the etiology of the deformity. [METHODS] Fifty patients underwent vascularized fibular free flap tra…

In children with large soft tissue defects of the foot and ankle, it is difficult to cover the wound completely using a local skin flap, and skin grafting of the donor area for repair causes secondary damage. Free skin flaps require good va…

[AIMS] This study aims to explore the potential mechanism by which Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/ A) inhibits microglial inflammatory activation through P2X7 receptors (P2X7R). [BACKGROUND] BoNT/A is a promising analgesic drug, and previous…

Delayed wound healing is a public issue that imposes a significant burden on both society and the patients themselves. To date, although numerous methods have been developed to accelerate the speed of wound closure, the therapeutic effects …

To observe the efficacy of vocal cord botulinum toxin type A injection in the treatment of refractory laryngeal contact granuloma and to analyze the factors affecting the curative effect. Fifty-two patients with refractory laryngeal contac…

Fusion proteins have the potential to become the new norm for targeted therapeutic treatments. Highly specific payload delivery can be achieved by combining custom targeting moieties, such as V domains, with active parts of proteins that ha…

This study aimed to study 3-dimensional (3D) changes of hard and soft tissues of skeletal class II patients after 2-jaw surgery and genioplasty. 32 adult patients diagnosed with mandibular hypoplasia who underwent 2-jaw surgery of maxillary…

Secondary lymphedema (LE) following breast cancer-related surgery is a life-long complication, which currently has no cure. LE induces significant regional adipose tissue deposition, requiring liposuction as a treatment. Here, we aimed to e…

[BACKGROUND] The demand for rhinoplasty in Asia is growing annually, and short nose deformity has been one of the main reasons for the surgery due to its high incidence. There is an urgent need for rhinoplasty suitable for Asians because of…

[BACKGROUND] A lack of ideal filling materials is a critical limitation in current rhinoplasty. Cartilage sheet regeneration by autologous chondrocytes is expected to provide an ideal source of material. However, the inability to perform mi…

[BACKGROUND] Deviation and asymmetry relapse after secondary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty with septal extension graft is a common yet serious problem especially among Asian patients. Therefore, finding an effective approach to reduce deform…

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-transfected adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADSC) transplantation in the injured vocal folds (VFs) of canines. A lentiviral vector encoding HGF was successfull…

[BACKGROUND] Raynaud's syndrome (RS), also referred to as Raynaud's phenomenon, is a vasospastic disorder causing episodic color changes in extremities upon exposure to cold or stress. These manifestations, either primary Raynaud's phenomen…

[PURPOSE] To establish a three-dimensional method to evaluate whether there is a difference in stability between bimaxillary simultaneous genioplasty and simple genioplasty. [METHODS] This study was a retrospective study. Sixty patients wh…

[BACKGROUND] The current absence of a standardized mandibular body osteotomy design poses challenges in surgical planning. Traditional approaches may not suit patients with wider anterior mandibles, potentially resulting in unsatisfactory o…

[BACKGROUND] Due to the small and weak septal cartilage of Asians, it is a challenge to obtain ideal tip projection and nose lengthening in this population by performing septal extension grafts with only septal cartilage. [OBJECTIVES] The …

Nasal deformities due to various causes affect the aesthetics and use of the nose, in which case rhinoplasty is necessary. However, the lack of cartilage for grafting has been a major problem and tissue engineering seems to be a promising s…

The nasal septal cartilage plays an important role in preventing the collapse of the nasal bones and maintaining the appearance of the nose. In the context of inherent difficulties regarding septal cartilage repair and the shortage of carti…

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the influence of buried thread nasal augmentation on dorsal soft tissue of nose and revision rhinoplasty. [METHODS] A clinical data of 29 patients requesting revision rhinoplasty after buried thread nasal augment…

[BACKGROUND] Using M-shaped cartilage grafts is a new method for the correction of short nose deformity with good effect for Asians. Although the basic approach to M-shaped cartilage surgery is well understood, there is a great deal of unce…

[OBJECTIVE] To explore the effectiveness of hairpin shaped incision combined with cover-lifting flap in plastic surgery of huge fat pad on nape and back. [METHODS] Between March 2019 and March 2023, 10 patients with huge fat pad on the nap…

[INTRODUCTION] Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is an organ-preserving treatment alternative for patients with early rectal cancer. However, TEM alone is associated with greater risk of local recurrence and inferior survival in compa…

[BACKGROUND] To compare the clinical outcomes of hybrid microsurgery and embolization with multi-staged procedure for patients harboring brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs). [METHODS] We retrospectively reviewed bAVM patients from a …
