The history and development of sympathetic trunk reconstruction: a 40-year journey from open surgery to robotic-assisted microsurgery.
Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) is widely used to treat primary hyperhidrosis; however, compensatory sweating (CS) has emerged as a significant complication. Various surgical approaches for managing CS have evolved over the past 4 d…

Long-Term Outcome of 118 Acute Total Brachial Plexus Injury Patients Using Free Vascularized Ulnar Nerve Graft to Innervate the Median Nerve.
[BACKGROUND] The restoration of finger movement in total brachial plexus injuries (BPIs) is an ultimate challenge. Pedicled vascularized ulnar nerve graft (VUNG) connecting a proximal root to distal target nerves has shown unpredictable ou…

Quantization of extraoral free flap monitoring for venous congestion with deep learning integrated iOS applications on smartphones: a diagnostic study.
[BACKGROUND] Free flap monitoring is essential for postmicrosurgical management and outcomes but traditionally relies on human observers; the process is subjective and qualitative and imposes a heavy burden on staffing. To scientifically mo…

Surgical Treatment for Postparalytic Facial Synkinesis: A 35-Year Experience.
[BACKGROUND] Surgical intervention with combined myectomy and neurectomy followed by functioning free muscle transplantation has been proposed to effectively resolve the problem of postparalytic facial synkinesis since 1985, and it continue…

Reversal of thoracic sympathectomy through robot-assisted microsurgical sympathetic trunk reconstruction with sural nerve graft and additional end-to-side coaptation of the intercostal nerves: A case report.
Thoracic sympathectomy to treat palmar hyperhidrosis (PH) has widely been performed. Many patients regret the surgery due to compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH), gustatory hyperhidrosis, arrhythmia, hypertension, gastrointestinal disturbances, …

Microsurgical robotic suturing of sural nerve graft for sympathetic nerve reconstruction: a technical feasibility study.
[BACKGROUND] Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) may provide a permanent surgical cure for primary palmar hyperhidrosis. Unfortunately, some patients can experience intensive post-operative compensatory sweating (CS) that ultimately imp…

Aesthetic refinements in toe-to-hand transfer surgery.
Techniques for aesthetic refinement are as important as those for functional improvement in toe-to-hand transfer. The appearance of the thumb reconstructed using various types of great toe transfer can be improved by reduction of the soft t…

Irreversible muscle contracture after functioning free muscle transplantation using the ipsilateral facial nerve for reinnervation.
Four patients who underwent functioning free muscle transplantation (FFMT) for facial reconstruction developed a progressive disfiguring muscle contracture. This complication has not been previously reported. Three of the patients had longs…

Second toe wrap-around flap.
The microsurgical second toe wrap-around technique is an ideal treatment option for reconstruction of the distal half of the finger with circumferential loss of skin and nail associated with an uninjured proximal interphalangeal joint and a…

"Smile" reconstruction in facial paralysis.
Reanimation of the face following facial nerve paralysis, especially the socially important smile, presents a complex surgical challenge requiring an individualized approach. Both neural and non-neural operative procedures have been used in…
