[BACKGROUND] Unplanned return to theater (URTT) following head and neck cancer reconstruction presents significant clinical and economic challenges. Identifying risk factors for URTT can aid in surgical planning and patient risk stratificat…

Delayed breast reconstruction using deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps in patients with a history of abdominal wall hernias and/or cesarean sections presents unique challenges. This study examines 10 such cases, emphasizing ke…

[BACKGROUND] Complex scalp defects represent a significant reconstructive challenge and frequently require free tissue transfer. Although the latissimus dorsi (LD) and anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps are widely regarded as preferred options…

[BACKGROUND] Preoperative botulinum toxin (BTX) has been proposed to facilitate myofascial medialization and tension reduction in abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR), but long-term comparative outcomes are unclear. [OBJECTIVES] To compare …

Genioplasty is a crucial component of facial feminization surgery since feminine chins are noticeably narrower, with a more rounded appearance than masculine chins. This is traditionally achieved with a central wedge excision and a two-piec…

Liposuction, also known as suction lipectomy, is an aesthetic procedure that removes fat from the submandibular, submental, chin, and neck regions. Hematomas are complications caused by ruptured blood vessels during the insertion of the can…
