Microsurgery has revolutionized modern surgery through its precision and favorable outcomes, but it remains limited by operational difficulty and the scarcity of skilled surgeons. Advances in robotics and communication technology have enabl…

[OBJECTIVE] This study investigates the effectiveness of pre-expanded supraclavicular artery perforator (SAP) and combined with anterior SAP (a-SAP) flap for treating second- and third-degree burn-induced neck scar contractures. [METHODS] …

[OBJECTIVES] This study evaluated the natural history of giant cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) over 6 cm and compared long-term outcomes of interventional treatment versus conservative management. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Patien…

[BACKGROUND] Relieving botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injection-related pain is important for hyperhidrosis treatment. Till now, there is no report on the comparison of BoNT-A intradermal injection (BontAintra) and BoNT-A mesotherapy (Bont…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum Toxin Type A (BoNT/A) injection for glabellar lines is popular due to its minimally invasive nature, safety, and efficacy. However, injection techniques and factors influencing outcomes need further study. This study …

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the anatomical connections and histological features of the orbital septum in patients with mild ptosis undergoing blepharoplasty. [METHODS] From May 2018 to December 2019, we studied 276 blepharoplasty patients …

Postmastectomy breast reconstruction is limited by radiotherapy-induced tissue damage, as silicone implants are prone to capsular contracture, and autologous adipose grafts are limited by resorption and necrosis. In this study, two biomater…

There is a relative abundance of strategies and methodologies to facilitate drug delivery to the central nervous system. However, drug delivery directly to the peripheral nervous system is less common, with fewer detailed methods publicatio…

Vascularized fibula free flap (FFF) grafts are frequently used to reconstruct mandibular defects. However, the current planning methods for osteotomy, splicing, and fibula placement present challenges in achieving satisfactory facial aesthe…

Autologous free flap transplantation is the most economical and effective method for clinical treatment of large-area trauma, but the shortage of flap donors prevents widespread use of this method. Hair follicle stem cells have great potent…

Precision motion actuation is a key technology for miniature medical robotics in a variety of applications, such as optical fibre-based diagnosis and intervention tools. Conventional inductive actuation mechanisms are challenging to scale d…

[BACKGROUND] To investigate the clinical efficacy of narrow-margin modified Mohs microsurgery (mMMS) in the treatment of extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). [METHODS] A retrospective cohort review was conducted on 52 patients with EMPD wh…

[OBJECTIVES] This study evaluated the natural history of infratentorial brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and compared long-term outcomes of intervention versus conservative management. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Infratentorial AVMs fr…

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the treatment outcome of applying venous flow-through free flap for multi-finger injuries with revascularization and soft tissue defect coverage. [METHODS] Between January 2021 and May 2025, 22 cases (51 fingers)…

[OBJECTIVE] Single-stage surgery combining embolisation and microsurgery has been increasingly used as a stand-alone procedure to cure complex AVMs. This study aimed to investigate the learning curve and embolisation strategy for single-sta…

[INTRODUCTION] Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) has gained prominence as an injectable dermal filler as it can both stimulate collagen regeneration and deliver long-lasting effects. However, its application is often hampered by delayed therapeutic…

[BACKGROUND] Lip augmentation has become increasingly accepted and popular. However, there are still a few approved lip fillers that are versatile, biocompatible, suitable for lip enhancement, and backed by large-scale clinical trials. [OB…

Inflammation is a crucial element of immune responses, with pivotal roles in host defenses against pathogens. Comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying inflammation is imperative for developing effective strategies …

[BACKGROUND] Drooping mouth corner may lead to a sad, tired or aging appearance, which could be corrected by injection of botulinum neurotoxin. In the article, we describe a novel "cross injection" technique for mouth corner lift with botul…

Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its unique biological properties and neuromuscular blocking effects, particularly in the field of anorectal disorders. This review discusses the appli…

[BACKGROUND] The effectiveness of botulinum toxin A (BoNTA) in the treatment of Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) has shown heterogeneity in recent studies. However, there is currently no research investigating the underlying mechanism behind the…

[BACKGROUND] Nostril overexposure is a common aesthetic concern among Asian populations, which significantly affects facial harmony. Traditional surgical interventions carry risks such as substantial trauma and visible scarring. This study …

[BACKGROUND] Blepharoptosis is one of the most common eyelid disorders in clinical ophthalmology. Previous evidence on drug-related blepharoptosis limited to case reports. [OBJECTIVES] This study aims to systematically evaluate the disprop…

Radiation-induced fibrosis (RIF) refers to the aberrant and continuous induction of myofibroblast-mediated wound healing in response to radiation therapy (RT) and occurs in up to 50% of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients…

Oral and craniomaxillofacial bone deformities necessitate treatment through osteotomy. Robot-assisted osteotomy appears promising in oral and craniomaxillofacial surgery, but it lacks sufficient intelligence and comprehensive integration of…

[OBJECTIVE] This systematic review aimed to produce an overview of the development of AI in joint skeletal-soft tissue prediction after orthognathic surgery, and to assess its accuracy comprehensively. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Following PRI…

[BACKGROUND] Fat prolapse and tear trough deformity, indicative of lower eyelid aging, are increasingly prevalent in younger patients. Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty (TCLB) is a suitable treatment for this demographic. However, ther…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fascia has been widely applied in rhinoplasty, yet prospective data on the supramastoid donor site remain scarce. This region provides a dense, pliable fascial layer with concealed scarring, potentially suitable for …

Facial asymmetries can significantly affect patient satisfaction post-surgery. Social media can impact a patient's perception of their asymmetries. To gather insights into the practices, perceptions, and approaches concerning facial asymmet…

[BACKGROUND] Plastic surgery-related diseases impose a substantial and growing burden on global health systems, yet comprehensive estimates of their temporal trends and future projections remain scarce. This study aims to quantify the globa…
