[PURPOSE] To describe a case of mechanical eye globe penetration resulting in subretinal and vitreous hemorrhages and retinal tear that occurred immediately following a periorbital hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injection, and to outline acute…

Large chest wall defects may be challenging to reconstruct and requires consideration of skeletal stabilization. Whilst use of synthetic materials has been described, the risks of infection and implant failure resulting in removal are omnip…

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, …

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] Invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures in patients with autoimmune or inflammatory skin disorders can carry an increased risk of surgical site infection, disease exacerbation, atrophic/hypertrophic scarring, or sub…

Like small ruminants, alpacas are prone to urethral obstruction, commonly caused by urolithiasis. Surgical intervention, such as perineal urethrostomy, is often necessary, though recurrent strictures and impaired healing pose significant ch…

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] To investigate the differential efficacy of super-microsurgical lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) for limb lymphedema stratified by International Society of Lymphology (ISL) stage and indocyanine green (ICG) lymphographic Yama…

[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] Adverse events following elective cosmetic surgery can raise concerns about patient safety, particularly in facilities with variable oversight of infection‑prevention practices. Severe early‑onset postoperative infections cause…

[BACKGROUND] Mastopexy remains the gold standard for correcting breast ptosis, yet persistent limitations include insufficient restoration of upper pole fullness and lack of long-term projection. While prosthetic augmentation addresses thes…

[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…

[BACKGROUND] An ideal hairline contour and balanced proportions of facial length have been referred as important components of a harmonious and attractive face. This study introduces a standardized procedure to restore a natural-looking and…

[BACKGROUND] Implant-based breast reconstruction is a common procedure after mastectomy; however, postoperative radiotherapy (RT) increases the risk of developing complications such as capsular contracture, infection and implant failure. We…

IntroductionBlood blister-like aneurysms (BBLAs) are rare, typically found in the anteromedial supraclinoid segment of the internal carotid artery, and are related to high morbidity and mortality rates. Although microsurgery has been tradit…

[PURPOSE] Immediate postmastectomy breast reconstruction in patients with history of breast-conserving surgery and radiotherapy presents unique challenges owing to previous surgical and radiation effects. This study evaluated the outcomes o…

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] Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) improves aesthetic outcomes but carries a higher risk of ischemic complications, particularly in patients with large, ptotic breasts. This study evaluates whether reduction mammaplasty prior to N…

[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] Although various dermal substitutes are available, their use in the acute setting or for extensive surface areas is often constrained by high costs and labor-intensive application procedures. Despite these challenges, they have…
