Microsurgical reconstruction is often first-line treatment in trauma cases, yet its role in burn reconstruction remains inconsistent, despite comparable injury complexity and resuscitation demands. While literature suggests mixed outcomes f…

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…

The role of soft tissue reconstruction in infection control of knee periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) treated with a two-stage exchange strategy remains controversial. This retrospective observational study analysed consecutive patients …

[BACKGROUND] Facelifts are commonly associated with postoperative complications. The hemostatic net has emerged as a promising approach to reduce these events. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the hem…

[BACKGROUND] End-to-side anastomosis (ETS) to major arteries is a valuable technique for limb free flap reconstruction that preserves distal perfusion; however, its effects on distal circulation remain unclear. Few studies have evaluated lo…

[BACKGROUND] Injection of dermal fillers has been used increasingly for facial rejuvenation by practitioners of esthetic medicine. The rise in these procedures has led to more dermal filler-related complications that can mimic common pathol…

[BACKGROUND] Continuous buried suture double-eyelid surgery is widely performed in Asia because of its minimally invasive nature and short recovery. However, age-specific outcomes remain underexplored. [METHODS] We retrospectively reviewed…

[BACKGROUND] The deep inferior epigastric artery (DIEP) perforator flap is the primary reconstructive approach for autologous breast reconstruction. It is associated with minimal donor site complications and acceptable aesthetic outcomes fo…

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic surgery tourism has increased rapidly, with growing numbers of UK patients returning with complications requiring NHS care. Limited regulation and inconsistent perioperative standards contribute to preventable harm. […

[BACKGROUND] Lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) is a debilitating disease causing limb enlargement secondary to fluid accumulation. Although vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) has emerged as a promising option for refractory cases, data …

Dysfunction of the lymphatic system causes lymphedema, a chronic disease that can lead to cellulitis. However, the optimal treatment modality for preventing cellulitis has not yet been established. This cohort study investigated the outcome…

BACKGROUND Gluteal augmentation has gained significant popularity worldwide, with a parallel increase in complications related to unregulated procedures. The use of permanent fillers by non-medical personnel poses serious risks and can comp…

[BACKGROUND] Conventional breast augmentation using different approaches and implant pockets faces challenges such as societal stigma, long recovery time, invasion of the breast, and complication rates. Previous minimally invasive approache…

[BACKGROUND] Serotonergic antidepressants have been associated with an increased risk of weight gain. Because being overweight is strongly linked to macromastia development, which is a primary indication for breast reduction, it is very imp…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Our findings indicate that the use of a lipodermal flap in one-stage pre-pectoral implant-based breast reconstruction was associated with relatively complication and revision rates in this cohort. However, compli…

[PURPOSE] The use of cosmetic fillers has become increasingly popular. Radiologists and sonographers should be aware of the ultrasonographic characteristics of the most commonly used cosmetic fillers and the sonographic features of their fr…

Breast reconstruction is essential for restoring self-image and quality of life after mastectomy. While current methods using implants or autologous tissue are prevalent, they face challenges such as capsular contracture and volume loss. Th…

[BACKGROUND] Red breast syndrome (RBS) is a self-limited, non-infectious erythema historically linked to acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) in breast reconstruction. Recent reports suggest a declining incidence, potentially related to ADM adv…

Refinements in autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) enable personalized approaches to align with patient preferences. The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap remains the primary choice due to its volume adequacy, but alternati…

[BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION] Microvascular surgery enables complex tissue repairs with free flaps. The Synovis Coupler has streamlined venous anastomoses, improving speed and precision. However, size discrepancies between donor and recipie…
