[BACKGROUND] Thread lifts are a noninvasive technique for suspending ptotic skin. Previous studies have failed to show long-term efficacy data with absorbable threads. [OBJECTIVE] To review the recent literature evaluating mid and lower fa…

[BACKGROUND] Thread lifting, a minimally invasive alternative to facial rhytidectomy, has shifted from using nonabsorbable to absorbable sutures. Although many thread lift options exist, the impact of these different properties on complicat…

[INTRODUCTION] One of the most frequently performed anti-aging surgical procedures is thread facelift. Since the 2010s, thread lifts using absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) thread were developed and have become increasingly popular. This resea…

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a leading manufacturing technique in the medical field. The constantly improving quality of 3D printers has revolutionized the approach to new challenges in medicine for a wide range of applications includ…

A major obstacle for tissue engineering ear-shaped cartilage is poorly developed tissue comprising cell-scaffold constructs. To address this issue, bioresorbable scaffolds of poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) and polyglycolic acid nanofibers (nanoP…

Chin augmentation can dramatically transform a patient's appearance. Various techniques are in use, each with their specific problems and limitations. We present the first case report from the Indian subcontinent using a custom 3D-printed, …

Emerging evidence promotes stellate ganglion blocks (SGB) as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in individuals who have not fully responded to conventional therapies. Ongoing research aims to assess the reliability and su…

[BACKGROUND] Facial thread-lifting is a widely accepted, minimally invasive rejuvenation technique without surgical incisions. Common absorbable sutures used are polydioxanone (PDO) and polycaprolactone (PCL); however, selection trends by d…

Fine fibers constitute significant applications in advanced materials engineering. However, the development of absorbable ultrathin fibers as sutures (…

To describe the effectiveness of alveolar ridge preservation under the radiological and histological analysis of a customized resorbable scaffold three-dimensionally printed with polycaprolactone (PCL) reinforced with a coating of a copolym…

As the fibula free flap became the gold standard in mandibular reconstruction that required both hard tissue and soft tissue, various methods have been sought to solve the height discrepancy between the mandible and fibula. The purpose of t…

[BACKGROUND] Large skull defects present a reconstructive challenge. Conventional cranioplasty options include autologous bone grafts, vascularized bone, metals, synthetic ceramics, and polymers. Autologous options are affected by resorptio…

[BACKGROUND] We describe the first clinical series of a novel bone replacement technique based on regenerative matching axial vascularisation (RMAV). This was used in four cases: a tibial defect after treatment of osteomyelitis; a calvarial…

[BACKGROUND] Abundant anatomic descriptions exist of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and menisco-femoral ligaments (MFLs). There is broad agreement that the PCL is composed of two bundles and inserts on the femur near the distal carti…

Capsular contracture (CC) is a common complication associated with breast implant surgery and is characterized by excessive fibrotic tissue formation around the implant. However, there is no established gold-standard treatment to prevent CC…

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury may be diagnosed by clinical examination and radiological investigation using magnetic resonance imaging or by arthroscopy. Based on our experience, the ACL tear in concomitant chronic ACL and pos…

[PURPOSE] To review treatment outcome of our staged protocol for multiple ligament injuries of the knee. [METHODS] 21 men who were treated for multiple ligament injuries of the knee and had completed at least one year of rehabilitation wer…

[BACKGROUND] Over the last 2 decades, both invasive and minimally invasive aesthetic procedures have proliferated. Aesthetic surgeons often recommend injectable treatments after cosmetic facial surgery for multiple reasons. However, literat…

[INTRODUCTION] HIV-associated facial lipoatrophy (FLA) is a stigmatizing hallmark for persons living with HIV [PLWH], and can lead to poor social functioning, social isolation, and reduced labour force participation. Treatments for this con…
