[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Surgery in NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN) vestibular schwannoma (VS) carries a higher risk of facial nerve damage, hearing loss, and partial resection, than in sporadic cases. Radiosurgery is also associat…

[INTRODUCTION] Reconstruction of the distal lower limb is often complex due to limited local tissues. The pedicled extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) flap is a reliable, loco-regional option for small- to medium-sized ankle and foot defects. T…

[UNLABELLED] Mastopexy surgery is among the procedures most requested by patients after massive weight loss. Many require a florid and voluminous breast, which is achieved thanks to the implantation of a breast prosthesis. However, mastopex…

Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of female mortality worldwide, and mastectomy is often required as a therapeutic or prophylactic measure. Breast reconstruction plays a key role in restoring body symmetry and quality of life.…

Background Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s) are increasingly used for glycemic control and weight loss, but their impact on surgical wound complications remains unclear. Some studies suggest GLP-1s reduce complications suc…

[OBJECTIVE] Full-thickness cheek defects resulting from advanced oral cavity cancer pose significant reconstructive challenges, with both functional and aesthetic implications. Although free flap remains the gold standard, it is resource-in…

[OBJECTIVE] The lower trapezius musculocutaneous flap (LTMF) is a workhorse flap for the reconstruction of soft-tissue defects of the head and neck. However, when harvesting a large LTMF to repair massive defects, primary closure of the don…

[BACKGROUND] The superomedial pedicle (SMP) is favored for preserving nipple-areolar complex (NAC) vascularity and superior pole fullness. However, its use in breast reductions (BR) with sternal notch-to-nipple (SN-N) distances ≥40 cm is de…

Autologous breast reconstruction using donor-site flaps such as the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap, latissimus dorsi flap, profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap, and aut…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate preventative and corrective techniques for postoperative temporal wasting. [DATA SOURCES] PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and SCOPUS databases. [REVIEW METHODS] Included studies mentioned temporal wasting and its…

[BACKGROUND] Solid organ transplant recipients are at increased risk of developing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). These patients often require free flap reconstruction; however, data on outcomes in this immunosuppressed popu…

[BACKGROUND] The dissection technique can influence abdominoplasty complication rates. New "bovie" tips have been developed to minimize thermal damage and optimize tissue dissection. [OBJECTIVES] The purpose of the present study was to per…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reduction surgery is one of the most common procedures in plastic surgery and a cornerstone of resident training. While its safety and benefits are well established, the impact of resident participation on surgical outco…

Blepharoplasty is among the fastest-growing aesthetic procedures in male patients, reflecting shifting cultural norms and increasing demand for facial rejuvenation that preserves masculine features. This review outlines the anatomical and a…

[PURPOSE] Pediatric spine surgery closure poses unique challenges owing to smaller body habitus, limited soft-tissue coverage, and high rates of congenital and neuromuscular deformities. Plastic surgeons are increasingly being consulted for…

[BACKGROUND] Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is the predominant reconstructive modality following mastectomy, accounting for more than 80% of all breast reconstruction procedures. Preventing subclinical infection at the time of i…

[OBJECTIVE] Vein grafting may provide a valuable option in microvascular free flap reconstruction for head and neck cancer when direct anastomosis is not feasible. This study assesses indications and outcomes, reappraises prevailing assumpt…

Effective wound closure in breast surgery achieves a compromise between safety and aesthetic outcomes. This systematic review evaluates the effect of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (2-OCA) tissue adhesive (Dermabond) as a primary means of skin closu…

Abdominally based free flap breast reconstruction offers excellent long-term outcomes, but donor-site morbidity remains a concern. Lower back pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition that may impair core stability and abdominal donor-s…

Mandibular continuity defects following tumor resection or trauma present significant reconstructive challenges, particularly for subsequent dental rehabilitation. While the fibula free flap remains the gold standard, its limited vertical h…
