Transverse division of the rectus abdominis muscle in deep inferior epigastric perforator flap elevation: A rescue technique to include more than one perforator.
[BACKGROUND] It is important to include as many perforators as possible in order to enhance the vascularity of a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. However, the rectus muscle must be transected transversely, which prevents sut…

Frontal Sinus Displacement of Silicone Implant After Previous Rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty, a historic surgical procedure for facial esthetics, has been actively performed in Asia. The use of autologous tissues or artificial materials, such as silicone, Gore-Tex, and Medpore, is common in achieving cosmetic improvemen…

Safe and effective thrombolysis in free flap salvage: Intra-arterial urokinase infusion.
Despite the high success rate in reconstruction using free tissue transfer, flap failure is often caused by microvascular thrombosis. In a small percentage of cases with complete flap loss, a salvage procedure is performed. In the present s…

Anterolateral Thigh Chimeric Flap: An Alternative Reconstructive Option to Free Flaps for Large Soft Tissue Defects.
The anterolateral thigh (ALT) skin flap provides abundant, thin, pliable skin coverage with adequate pedicle length and calibre, and tolerable donor site morbidity. However, coverage of relatively large defects using the ALT flap alone is l…

Two-team-approached free flap reconstruction for plantar malignant melanoma: An observational (STROBE-compliant) trial.
Reconstructive treatments of heel defects usually involve regional flap techniques such as medial plantar flap procedures due to the limited availability of adjacent soft tissues. Although free flaps have advantages in terms of function and…

Comparison of the Incidence of Capsular Formation in Two-Stage, Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction Using an Insertion Funnel and Sizer.
[PURPOSE] Capsular formation around breast implants can produce various complications, including erythema, tenderness, discomfort, and breast deformation. Moreover, the capsule is thought to be correlated with breast implant-associated anap…

Correction of Temporal Hollowing With the Superior Gluteal Artery Perforator Free Flap.
Temporal hollowing is most frequently an acquired deformity and can be caused by volume defects of bone, soft tissue, or both. Recently, surgical reconstruction with autogenous fat or allografts has been introduced, but these materials can …

Diametric Comparison between the Thoracodorsal Vessel and Deep Inferior Epigastric Vessel in Breast Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] In microvascular anastomosis, size discrepancy is common and can increase thrombotic complications. If size differences can be predicted, then vessels of the appropriate size can be selected. This study documented the differenc…

Unilateral autologous breast reconstruction with unipedicled and bipedicled deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap: A review of 168 cases over 3 years.
[BACKGROUND] Harvesting a DIEP flap based on bipedicled perforators can enhance vascular perfusion, which can reduce complication rates, minimize fat necrosis, and flap failure. This study summarizes our experience with using unipedicled an…

Cryopreservation of lipoaspirates: in vitro measurement of the viability of adipose-derived stem cell and lipid peroxidation.
As the storage time of the fat tissue passes by, lipid peroxidation and creation of by-products may take place. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cell viability and functional changes of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in t…

Parallel-excision infrabrow blepharoplasty with extensive excision of the orbicularis oculi muscle in an Asian population.
[BACKGROUND] Infrabrow blepharoplasty has become a common surgical method used to rejuvenate aged upper eyelids in Asians. In this paper, we describe the parallel excision method for infrabrow blepharoplasty as a useful alternative to the c…

Innovative method to correct Stahl ear that involves full thickness scoring incisions and an onlay graft of cymba conchal cartilage.
We successfully corrected Stahl ear with a combination of scoring incisions and a conchal cartilage graft. The cymba concha was used as an onlay graft, to serve as an anatomical splint. This technique maintains the original size of the ear …

Comparative study of the effectiveness and safety of porcine and bovine atelocollagen in Asian nasolabial fold correction.
Bovine-derived collagen has been used for soft-tissue augmentation since 1977. However, there are issues regarding the possibility of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Researchers discovered that the histologic structure of porcine-de…

Effects of human adipose-derived stem cells on the regeneration of damaged visceral pleural mesothelial cells: a morphological study in a rabbit model.
[OBJECTIVES] Although an alveolar air leak (AAL) after pulmonary resection is a troublesome complication that diminishes a patient's quality of life and increases medical costs, current treatment and preventive methods for AAL are not effec…

Efficacy and safety of porcine collagen filler for nasolabial fold correction in Asians: a prospective multicenter, 12 months follow-up study.
Recently, injectable dermal fillers have become important alternatives to surgical procedures for the correction of facial wrinkles. Bovine collagen is the first approved material for filler injection, and several studies have shown its eff…

Prevention of postsurgical scars: comparsion of efficacy and convenience between silicone gel sheet and topical silicone gel.
To date, few studies have compared the effectiveness of topical silicone gels versus that of silicone gel sheets in preventing scars. In this prospective study, we compared the efficacy and the convenience of use of the 2 products. We enrol…
