: The quality of recipient vessels is critical for successful microsurgical breast reconstruction, and iatrogenic damage should be minimized. Adjuvant radiotherapy (RTx) and chemotherapy (CTx) are widely used for breast cancer and may induc…

[INTRODUCTION] Surgical education faces growing challenges due to reduced theatre access, variable supervision and limited procedural exposure, particularly for complex reconstructive operations such as the radial forearm free flap (RFFF). …

[BACKGROUND] Reduction malarplasty is a widely performed facial contouring procedure, particularly in Asian populations, to achieve a slimmer and more oval facial shape. While various surgical techniques exist, there is a lack of standardiz…

[PURPOSE] Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injections are used to manage spasticity in children with low-functioning cerebral palsy (CP), particularly in cases involving the hip adductor muscles. Despite their widespread use, research on the…

[INTRODUCTION] Facial feminization surgery (FFS) aims to modify masculine facial characteristics to achieve traditionally feminine aesthetics. The lower jaw plays a pivotal role in gender recognition. This study quantitatively evaluates the…

[BACKGROUND] Despite the implication of bacterial biofilms in the etiology of capsular contracture, there is limited research on the microbial structure of the contracted capsule. Moreover, the potential role of the skin microbiome in capsu…

[BACKGROUND] Dental prosthetic rehabilitation (DPR) plays a critical role in restoring function and quality of life following mandibular reconstruction. This study examines the rate of patients undergoing dental implants and DPR after recon…

[BACKGROUND] Achilles tendon injury with extensive soft tissue loss presents challenges to lower extremity (LE) reconstruction with functionally favorable results. The use of a free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap incorporating a tubularized…

[BACKGROUND] Head and Neck Lymphoedema (HNL) is debilitating to many domains of patients' structure and function, yet it is the most poorly researched form of lymphoedema. This is due to the variety of signs and symptoms experienced by HNL …

[OBJECTIVE] To summarize the outcomes of 1000 consecutive microsurgical resection of cerebellopontine angle tumors. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective cohort study. [SETTING] Single tertiary care institution. [METHODS] We analyzed 1000 patient…

[BACKGROUND] Initial and early swelling post injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) filler are considered to affect outcomes and complications in patients; however, the contribution of HA filler type to swelling postinjection remains undetermine…

[OBJECTIVES] Abnormal breathlessness at maximal exercise may be caused by a range of conditions, including exercise-induced bronchospasm, breathing pattern disorder, or exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction. These three disorders may not b…

Biological threat agents such as , , and botulinum toxin pose serious risk to national security and public health due to their high transmissibility, lethality, and potential for weaponization. This study analyzes the current status of vacc…

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) significantly impairs the quality of life of patients due to chronic pain and limited jaw function. Many treatment options have been used such as pharmacologic management, physical therapy, oral appliance th…

Post-rhinoplasty pain control should use a multimodal regimen. Evidence suggests decreasing routine prescriptions of narcotics is reasonable for most individuals, and acetaminophen and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug combinations may be …

[BACKGROUND] Since USMLE Step 1 converted to pass/fail, programs increasingly use signals, away rotations, and geographic ties to gauge applicant fit. Whether these program-specific engagement tools truly outweigh traditional metrics in int…

[OBJECTIVE] To review the characteristics of distal middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm treated by microsurgery, the detailed surgical options, and the clinical result. [METHODS] We retrospectively reviewed cerebral aneurysm in the M2 an…

[INTRODUCTION] Patients who undergo surgery for breast cancer are at risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding, which can lead to significant consequences on outcomes. This study examined factors related to VTE and bleeding risk in…

[BACKGROUND] Completion of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is labor-intensive but paramount in improving patient-centered care, allowing for advancement of techniques and scrutinization of outcomes. We report the feasibility of PR…

Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare tumor that arises from fibroblasts and myofibroblasts and typically presents on the trunk and limbs. While metastasis of fibromatosis is exceedingly uncommon, DF can spread rapidly to adjacent tissue. Its…

Despite the remarkable advances of dermal fillers that reduce wrinkles caused by dermis thickness reduction, they still lack effective hydrogel systems that stimulate collagen generation along with injection convenience. Here, we develop a …

Post-stroke spasticity is a common complication that limits the functional performance of patients. Botulinum toxin (BTx) is an effective treatment for spasticity. Numerous researchers have applied extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) t…

[BACKGROUND] Outpatient plastic surgery at office-based surgery facilities (OBSFs) and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) has become increasingly prevalent over the past 30 years. Importantly, historical data are inconsistent regarding the s…

[RATIONALE] Although regional metastasis to the lymph nodes is common in advanced oral cancer, extensive local invasion into surrounding structures such as the mandible, skin and soft tissue of the neck, and masticator space is relatively r…

[BACKGROUND] Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially fatal clinical syndrome resulting from the damage or breakdown of skeletal muscle, which can also lead to permanent disabilities. Based on our review of studies on rhabdomyolysis after prolonged …

This corrects the article on p. 442 in vol. 34, PMID: 36478426.…

The purpose of this study was to clarify the association between improvement of spasticity in hemiplegic patient's upper extremity with Botulinum toxin injection and improvement in postural balance and gait function. For this prospective co…

[BACKGROUND] In advanced breast cancer, radiotherapy is recommended as adjuvant therapy following breast reconstructive surgery. This inevitably led to growing concerns over possible complications of radiotherapy on implants. In this experi…

[BACKGROUND] Several studies have discussed various methods of prepectoral direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction using an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) prosthesis to achieve full coverage. However, methods for anterior coverage have…
