Patients with inherited coagulopathies-including thrombophilias-undergoing microvascular reconstruction face elevated thrombotic risk, yet optimal perioperative strategies remain undefined. This retrospective case series evaluates periopera…

Lipedema is a chronic disease of subcutaneous adipose tissue that predominantly affects women and is frequently associated with endocrinopathies such as insulin resistance and obesity. Its pathogenesis is still unclear, and treatment, which…

[BACKGROUND]  In patients with a low body mass index (BMI), the options for autologous breast reconstruction are limited. With the hypothesis that adipose tissue deposition favors the lumbar region over the abdominal wall, this study sought…

[BACKGROUND] Mechanical Dermal Micro-Coring Technology (MCT; Ellacor System) achieves skin tightening and wrinkle reduction through direct mechanical excision of skin cores using hollow needles and collagen stimulation via the wound-healing…

[BACKGROUND] Gynecomastia and gender-affirming top surgery share similarities in objectives. Traditionally, a subcutaneous mastectomy using a semicircular incision has been recommended for most gynecomastia patients. In recent years, mastec…

[BACKGROUND] Axillary osmidrosis is a common cause of physical and social discomfort. Although many treatments are available, there is still room for improvement. [OBJECTIVE] For treatments of axillary osmidrosis 3 minimally invasive surgi…
