[BACKGROUND] Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a serious complication in oral cancer patients undergoing tumor excision and mandibular reconstruction, particularly after radiotherapy. This study compared a logistic regression-based nomogram with …

[BACKGROUND] Free flap breast reconstruction (FFBR) offers substantial benefits after mastectomy. However, the impact of operative time on outcomes remains unclear. [PATIENTS AND METHODS] In this retrospective cohort study, the American Co…

[BACKGROUND] Microvascular free tissue transfer is a key technique in reconstructive surgery, enabling functional and aesthetic restoration of complex defects. While initial flap survival relies on the vascular pedicle, some flaps may becom…

[PURPOSE] Head and neck free flap (HNFF) surgery is essential in reconstructive surgery, addressing complex defects with tailored approaches. Despite high success rates, complications remain significant, influenced by patient comorbidities,…

[BACKGROUND] Free flap breast reconstruction (FFBR) is a well-established technique for postmastectomy rehabilitation. However, chronic immunosuppressive therapy may compromise wound healing, increase infection susceptibility, and adversely…

[BACKGROUND] Genioplasty and chin-augmentation are well-established procedures aimed at enhancing lower facial aesthetics. Traditionally, aesthetic outcomes have been assessed subjectively through expert opinions and patient-reported measur…

[BACKGROUND] The demand for surgical facial rejuvenation procedures, such as facelifts, has risen in recent decades. However, limited research has addressed the epidemiological and economic aspects of these procedures. This study examines t…

[BACKGROUND] Madelung's disease (MD) is a rare disorder with progressive, symmetric, non-encapsulated adipose deposition, predominantly in the cervicothoracic region. Surgery, lipectomy, liposuction, or combined procedures is the main treat…

[BACKGROUND] Robotic-assisted surgery is increasingly incorporated into facial plastic and reconstructive surgery (FPRS) procedures. However, the extent to which robotics improves operative performance or clinical outcomes in FPRS remains u…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture (CC) is a common complication following implant-based breast surgery, often requiring surgical intervention. Yet, little is known about risk factors and outcomes following CC surgery. [METHODS] We reviewed…

[BACKGROUND] Vascularization of the distal latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle flap determines the success of the procedure, particularly in large defects. Failure due to distal flap necrosis can necessitate reoperation and increase mortality. Ind…

Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare disorder characterized by progressive hemifacial atrophy affecting soft tissue and, in severe cases, bone. Reconstructive surgery is commonly used to manage PRS-related facial deformities. This systema…

Osseous genioplasty (OG) improves facial aesthetics by 3-dimensionally repositioning the chin and associated soft tissues. Although its effects on airway volumes and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have been investigated, the available eviden…

Osseous genioplasty (OG) and implant-based chin augmentation are 2 primary approaches for correcting microgenia. A comprehensive synthesis comparing their outcomes, safety profiles, and patient satisfaction is lacking. In this study, the au…

[INTRODUCTION] Abdominoplasty and breast surgery are popular cosmetic procedures, often performed as stand-alone or combined procedures. However, the safety of combining these surgeries remains poorly understood. [METHODS] We analyzed data…

Deep plane facelifts have gained popularity for their natural and long-lasting results, prompting increased focus on advanced neck rejuvenation techniques. Both clinical experience and literature support refined strategies to address platys…

[BACKGROUND] Breast surgery, ranging from aesthetic adjustments to oncological reconstructions, has seen a significant rise in recent years, with over 4.3 million procedures globally in 2022. However, they pose risks like postoperative blee…

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States increased by 5% from 2022 to 2023, with notable increase in eyelid surgeries and forehead lifts. These procedures often aim to alter the height and position of the eyebrow and la…

Chronic, non-healing wounds represent a significant challenge for healthcare systems worldwide, often requiring significant human and financial resources. Chronic wounds arise from the complex interplay of underlying comorbidities, such as …

[INTRODUCTION] Significant morbidity and mortality are hallmarks of the functional decline seen in physically frail patients. The modified frailty index 5 (mFI-5) represents a risk predictor score that has been validated as a comorbidity-ba…

[BACKGROUND] The increasing demand for gender-affirming surgery (GAS) in transgender and gender-diverse healthcare highlights the importance of breast augmentation surgery (BAS) for transfeminine patients. Despite its significance, there is…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation ranks among the most popular plastic surgery procedures. Yet, reports on post-operative patient-reported quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction remain conflicting. [METHODS] A systematic review was conducte…

[BACKGROUND] Reduction mammoplasty is popular among people of various age groups, yet the impact of age on postoperative outcomes remains debated. [METHODS] The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (20…

[BACKGROUND] The increasing demand and changing trends in rhinoplasty surgery emphasize the need for effective doctor-patient communication, for which Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be a valuable tool in managing patient expectations du…

[BACKGROUND] Online patient reviews are crucial in guiding individuals who seek plastic surgery, but artificial chatbots pose a threat of disseminating fake reviews. This study aimed to compare real patient feedback with ChatGPT-generated r…

Free tissue transfer is widely used for the reconstruction of complex tissue defects. The survival of free flaps depends on the patency and integrity of the microvascular anastomosis. Accordingly, the early detection of vascular comprise an…

Fibula free flaps (FFF) represent a working horse for different reconstructive scenarios in facial surgery. While FFF were initially established for mandible reconstruction, advancements in planning for microsurgical techniques have paved t…

[BACKGROUND] Androgenetic alopecia, the most common type of hair loss, can impair the patient's overall mental health. Although there are pharmaceutical and surgical treatments available, little is known about the public standpoint toward h…
