[BACKGROUND] In body contouring surgery, high-definition liposuction appears to be an evolution of traditional liposuction. This study aimed to determine if broad liposuction of the deep layer (lamellar) and the preservation of the superfic…

[BACKGROUND] Periodontitis is a known risk factor for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but its impact on postoperative outcomes remains unclear. [METHODS] This retrospective study included 552 OSCC patients who underwent radical surger…

[BACKGROUND] Breast surgery often compromises structures, potentially leading to complications that affect aesthetic outcomes, lactation, breast tissue health, and the patient experience. Tissue-Preserving Breast Augmentation (TPBA) is a no…

[INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE] Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare condition caused by dermal inflammation with neutrophilic infiltration, often associated with an underlying systemic disease. The breast is an uncommon site for this conditio…

Implant-based breast reconstruction is frequently complicated by capsular contracture and surgical-site infection. Current mesh materials are unable to effectively address these complications due to inherent limitations. This study introduc…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty and particularly tip refinement, is complex and prone to revision, especially in thin-skinned patients. To address these issues, the senior author developed a fascia-cartilage hybrid tip graft (FCHTG) combining crus…

[BACKGROUND] Radical surgery with free-flap reconstruction for advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) carries a high risk of postoperative complications. [AIMS/OBJECTIVES] To identify the complication most strongly associat…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation (BA) is one of the most commonly performed plastic procedures worldwide. The transaxillary approach (TAA) has gained popularity for avoiding visible breast scars. Despite its increasing adoption in the clini…

[AIM] To compare postoperative complications between prepectoral and subpectoral immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) in patients receiving postmastectomy radiotherapy. [METHODS] This systematic review and meta-analysis wer…

[OBJECTIVE] Breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma with a single T cell clone is an uncommon complication especially related to implants with a textured surface. Moreover, there are few reports of breast implant-associated…

Free flap reconstruction for lower extremity (LE) trauma has a higher failure rate than free flaps in other anatomic regions. Postoperative anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy may influence LE free flap outcomes, but an optimal regimen…

[BACKGROUND] Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a serious complication in oral cancer patients undergoing tumor excision and mandibular reconstruction, particularly after radiotherapy. This study compared a logistic regression-based nomogram with …

[BACKGROUND] Minimally invasive surgery, particularly robotic-assisted platforms like the da Vinci systems, has revolutionized colorectal surgery by improving precision and recovery. The novel da Vinci Single-Port (SP) system enables proced…

[BACKGROUND] Minimally invasive approaches to manage early-stage rectal cancer have become popular, offering effective treatment with reduced morbidity. Among them, transanal endoluminal surgery (TES) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (E…

This study aims to provide an overview of patient characteristics, treatment modalities, and associated complications following microvascular free flap reconstructions in maxillofacial surgery, based on data from a large national tertiary c…

[INTRODUCTION] As risk factors of free flap loss related to the patient are unmodifiable, proper perioperative protocol is crucial. Perioperative blood transfusion (PBT) may be associated with an increased risk of medical complications, pro…

[BACKGROUND] Dangling protocols are widely used in the postoperative management of lower extremity free flaps to promote microvascular adaptation. To optimize outcomes, surgeons use dangling protocols, gradually increasing limb dependency, …

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rapidly progressive, life-threatening soft tissue infection that rarely involves the periorbital region. We report an unusual case of periorbital NF caused by methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA…

Bilateral autologous breast reconstruction requires microsurgery on both sides, increasing operative time and surgeon workload compared with unilateral reconstruction. This study examines the efficacy of a simultaneous microsurgical approac…

Anal fissures are a common anorectal condition typically occurring in the midline. They often present with pain and bleeding though presentation can be variable. Most fissures are associated with hypertonic anal sphincter, though other etio…
