[BACKGROUND] Although abdominal flaps remain the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction, their use in low-BMI patients-particularly in bilateral cases or when matching a contralateral large breast-can be limited by concerns abou…

Concerns regarding donor-site healing persist in abdominal-based free flap breast reconstruction. Although closed-incision negative-pressure therapy (CINPT) has demonstrated wound-related benefits, its efficacy without the use of drains rem…

Abdominally based breast free flap reconstruction exposes patients to potential significant donor site morbidity. Utilization of postoperative Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (iNPWT) has been proposed to minimize incision site co…

[PURPOSE] Immediate postmastectomy breast reconstruction in patients with history of breast-conserving surgery and radiotherapy presents unique challenges owing to previous surgical and radiation effects. This study evaluated the outcomes o…

The "Jaw in a Day®" approach enables simultaneous functional and aesthetic mandibular reconstruction through immediate dental implant placement in osseous free flaps. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the accuracy of immediate denta…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate trends in Urogynecologic and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) among early-career urologists, comparing URPS-trained and non-URPS urologists using American Board of Urology case logs from 2009-2020. [MATERIALS AN…

[BACKGROUND] Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is characterized by unilateral contraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, which causes head tilting and rotation. Treatment follows a stepwise approach, in which physical therapy (PT) s…

Posterior neck lipomatosis, commonly referred to as a buffalo hump, is characterized by abnormal accumulation of adipose and fibrofatty tissue in the dorsocervical region, leading to aesthetic deformity and functional discomfort. Ultrasound…

Hand-held robotic instruments enhance precision in microsurgery by mitigating physiological tremor in real time. Current tremor filtering algorithms in these instruments often employ nonlinear phase prefilters to isolate the tremor signal. …

[BACKGROUND] Deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flaps are commonly used in breast reconstruction due to their muscle-sparing nature. However, postoperative volume changes can impact long-term breast symmetry. This study evalu…

Microfocused ultrasound (MFU) and (MRF) are non-invasive modalities widely used for skin rejuvenation and are often combined with injectables, including neuromodulators and soft tissue fillers. However, large-scale, long-term safety data on…

[BACKGROUND] The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of exosomes derived from adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) on complications arising from hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections. [METHODS] An HA hydrogel blended with adipose…

[BACKGROUND] Facial wrinkles, caused by aging and repetitive muscle contractions, are commonly treated with botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A). However, excessive toxin diffusion can cause side-effects like muscle weakness. [OBJECTIVES] …

Goldenhar syndrome (GS), also known as oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS), is a congenital condition affecting the craniofacial region and vertebrae. This report details a 21-year-old Korean female with GS, characterized by the absenc…

[INTRODUCTION] Urinary incontinence is a debilitating condition often affecting women after pregnancy or significant weight change. Abdominoplasty is an aesthetic and functional operation often performed in an overlapping cohort. Functional…

[UNLABELLED] Edema following liposuction can obscure surgical outcomes and increase the risk of complications, emphasizing the need for quantitative evaluation. This study aimed to evaluate the association between postoperative edema severi…

This study investigates the efficacy of integrating a collagen-elastin matrix (MatriDerm) with lower blepharoplasty to address infraorbital hollowness and fine wrinkles in aging patients, conditions often inadequately treated with conventio…

ObjectiveRhinoplasty maneuvers at the time of cleft lip (CL) repair remain controversial. Particularly, the impact of primary rhinoplasty (PR) on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and quality of life (QoL) is largely unknown. This study aims…

[PURPOSE OF REVIEW] T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) are a group of rare subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma derived from mature T-lymphocytes. Recent updates in lymphoma classification based on the cell-of-origin pathogenesis have shed new light on TC…

[BACKGROUND]  Although drainless donor closure with progressive tension suture (PTS) technique has been attempted to further reduce donor morbidity in deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap-based breast reconstruction, its clinical…

[BACKGROUND] Free tissue transfer is often required for the reconstruction of complex and deep anterior chest wall wounds, for which the identification of suitable recipient vessels is crucial. Although the internal mammary arteries (IMAs) …

[IMPORTANCE] Meticulous postoperative flap monitoring is essential for preventing flap failure and achieving optimal results in free flap operations, for which physical examination has remained the criterion standard. Despite the high relia…

With increasing interest in swift postoperative recovery, there has been a trend toward omitting drains in deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap-based breast reconstruction, ideally aiming to avoid drains in the breasts and abdome…

[BACKGROUND] The use of "skin boosters" comprised of hyaluronic acid (HA)-based fillers to improve skin quality has gained popularity recently, especially in individuals interested in skin rejuvenation. [AIM] This study aimed to evaluate t…

[INTRODUCTION] We occasionally encounter irregular marginated masses discovered incidentally in young individuals. In most cases, further investigations are conducted to assess the presence of a primary malignancy, as these masses often rai…

[BACKGROUND] Facial nerve paralysis induced by acute traumatic facial nerve injuries limited to the zygomatic and buccal branches shows unique complications, such as strong co-contractions of the lower facial muscles around the lips during …

Cancer survivors often face persistent abdominal pain, necessitating optimal pain management. While celiac plexus block (CPB) and botulinum toxin (BT) injection are viable options, traditional methods may encounter challenges due to patient…

Continuous fasciculation that occurs without weakness is referred to as benign fasciculation. Although generally considered non-threatening, cases that persist can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. This study presents a …

[BACKGROUND] Achieving successful outcomes in hair transplant surgery involves various critical factors, including donor area harvesting, graft survival, and minimizing post-operative complications. This study investigates the differences i…
