Micromanipulation robots hold immense promise for biomedical applications, yet they remain fundamentally limited by three persistent challenges: cross-scale target heterogeneity, spatially constrained workspaces, and integrated multimodal o…

[BACKGROUND] Maintaining appropriate blood pressure during head and neck free tissue transfer surgery is important for both organ and flap perfusion. However, the use of vasopressors to treat intraoperative hypotension is controversial. The…

Endodontic microsurgery (EMS) is an important treatment option for endodontic disease when the nonsurgical endodontic treatment fails. However, EMS for maxillary molars often presents a clinical challenge due to the root apex close to the m…

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a symptomatic disease that is difficult to treat. This study developed APTES-functionalized spiky titanium dioxide nanoparticles (ASNPs) loaded with botulinum toxin A (ASNP@BA), which is coated with P407/HA (HP) …

Chronic low-grade sterile inflammation is one hallmark of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Exosomes secretion from renal cells plays an important role in the transmission of inflammatory substances, which is associated with DKD. Ras-related C…

[BACKGROUND] Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignancies in women worldwide, with surgical interventions such as mastectomy and implant-based reconstruction playing a key role in management. While implant-based reconstruction …

[BACKGROUND] Advancements in surgical techniques and materials have increased the use of direct-to-implant breast reconstruction after mastectomy. However, the optimal implant placement remains debated, with limited prospective studies comp…

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a disorder characterized by recurrent, severe, brief pain in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Secondary TN may be caused by tumors in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA), including vestibular schwannomas (…

[OBJECTIVE] Spinal meningioma is a common extramedullary tumor that can theoretically be cured by complete microsurgical resection. However, complete resection of the tumor is challenging with traditional surgical strategies due to the vari…

[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…

This study aims to evaluate the surgical outcomes and clinical differences of elderly vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients (> 65 years), compared with non-elderly patients, focusing on baseline characteristics, preoperative symptoms, postope…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] The aim of this retrospective study was to identify predictors of long-term dysfunction of the nervus intermedius (NI) after vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery. [METHODS] A follow-up questionnaire was administer…

[BACKGROUND] The application of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) outcomes of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) to actual patient care faces a significant hurdle due to research waste (RW). This includes the results of RCTs that have not be…

Intravesical injections of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) are effective for treating refractory overactive bladder (OAB) in women. However, the adverse effects linked to the injections, such as hematuria, pain, and infection, and need for r…

Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha [PIK3CA, encoding PI3Kalpha (also known as p110α)] is one of the most commonly aberrated genes in human cancers. In serous ovarian cancer, PIK3CA amplification is highly…

[BACKGROUND] The effectiveness and safety of the instillation of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) remain subjects of controversy. The meta-analysis was performed to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel intravesical instillation of BTX-A for m…

There is currently limited knowledge about the combined effect of Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) and Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on hair follicle growth and reconstruction. This study aimed to investigate the impact of BoNT/A in conjunction…

[AIMS] To investigate the effectiveness of histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution compared to Ringer's (RS) solution for preserving isolated hair follicles (HFs), focusing on structural integrity, cell viability, apoptosis preven…

[BACKGROUND] Conventional epilation methods commonly encounter challenges in achieving permanent removal of unwanted facial terminal hair (uFTH), particularly when it is interspersed among normal hairs. [OBJECTIVE] To assess the safety and…

[BACKGROUND] Lymphedema, a chronic condition involving lymphatic fluid accumulation, affects over 250 million people worldwide. Liposuction (LS), introduced in 1989, offers a minimally invasive option for non-pitting lymphedema by reducing …

[BACKGROUND] Soft tissue filler injection is the second most commonly performed cosmetic procedure worldwide, with augmentation rhinoplasty being the most common filling surgery in Asian countries because Asians predominantly have a low nas…

[OBJECTIVE] Isolated spinal aneurysms (ISAs) are rare causes of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), which encompass a highly heterogeneous group of clinical entities with multifarious pathogeneses, clinical characteristics, and treatment strateg…

[BACKGROUND] It is challenging to repair wide or irregular defects with traditional skin flaps, and anterolateral thigh (ALT) lobulated perforator flaps are an ideal choice for such defects. However, there are many variations in perforators…

Retinal microsurgery is a high-precision surgery performed on a delicate tissue requiring the skill of highly trained surgeons. Given the restricted range of instrument motion in the confined intraocular space, snake-like robots may prove t…

[OBJECTIVE] To develop and validate a predictive model for identifying vascular crises following free tissue flap transplantation in patients undergoing surgery for oral and maxillofacial tumors. [METHODS] This retrospective cohort study u…

[BACKGROUND] The injection of botulinum toxin into the masseter muscle is an important method for improving hypertrophy. However, some patients may experience adverse reactions, such as sagging of the lower jaw. Therefore, we proposed a met…
