혈종 Hematoma

Tranexamic acid (TXA) has gained popularity across various surgical specialties for reducing perioperative blood loss. However, its role in microsurgery remains underexplored, likely due to concerns that TXA may increase the risk of thrombo…

Lymphedema arises from impaired lymphatic drainage, leading to accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the interstitium and progressive soft-tissue fibrosis. Although eyelid lymphedema is rare, it can cause marked functional and aesthetic mor…

Prominent ear is a common auricular malformation that can have long-term psychosocial consequences on affected individuals. Otoplasty remains the standard surgical corrective treatment; however, the optimal technique has long been debated, …

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…

[PURPOSE] Radiation therapy following implant-based reconstruction (IBR) is known to contribute to increased complication rates and aesthetic challenges, particularly breast asymmetry, which often necessitates additional revision procedures…

[BACKGROUND] Submental hematoma after genioplasty is rare but can be life-threatening, and current imaging data give limited patient-specific guidance for chin osteotomy design. [METHODS] We combined targeted cadaveric dissection of two pe…

[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…

[BACKGROUND] Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is commonly used in implant-based breast reconstruction, but the optimal timing of ADM use in prepectoral two-stage reconstruction remains uncertain. [OBJECTIVES] We evaluated whether delaying ADM…

Defects following total parotidectomy represent a distinctive reconstructive challenge. Restoration of facial volume and contour must be balanced with protection of the preserved facial nerve and reliable healing, particularly after extensi…

In this case report, a 77-year-old female attended a department of urology for a flexible cystoscopy in local anaesthesia with injection of botulinum toxin A in the bladder wall. One day later, she presented with suprapubic pain and hypoten…

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…

[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…

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, with increasing incidence with age. However, surgeons are often hesitant to offer complex surgical reconstruction to the older patient population due to concerns about safety. A query of…

[BACKGROUND] The use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in plastic surgery is increasing due to its anti-inflammatory properties, particularly in reducing postoperative seromas. However, its role in reconstructive microsurgery remains limited due to …

Vascular adverse events associated with hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers are typically interpreted as being of arterial origin, while venous involvement of the lip remains poorly characterized. The aim of this report is to analyze and up…

Despite its first descriptions in the previous decade, the use of the hemostatic net has experienced a recent resurgence of enthusiasm in cervicofacial rhytidectomy. Sizeable studies demonstrate a reduction of postoperative hematoma and bet…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a challenging entity to treat with consistent success. Recently, acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been shown to be a highly effective therapeutic adjunct, particularly for patients at high risk for recu…

[OBJECTIVE] The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness ofminimally invasive 980 nm laser-assisted lipolysis and skin tightening in lower eyelid blepharoplasty of Asian patients. [METHODS] Patients with mild and moderate degree o…

[BACKGROUND] Lower blepharoplasty has shifted from fat resection to preservation by means of repositioning, yet severe fat herniation still requires selective excision. Traditional resection may compromise transposition. This study introduc…

[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…
