[BACKGROUND] The fibular free flap is considered one of the most valuable options for mandible reconstruction. A perforator flap has gained widespread acceptance in oral and maxillofacial reconstruction. Typically, the fibula flap is obtain…

[PURPOSE] We assessed the effectiveness and safety of using intravesical onabotulinumtoxinA (onabotA; BOTOX) injection with a low dose (75 units) for treating urinary storage symptoms in patients with detrusor overactivity with detrusor und…

[BACKGROUND] The standard procedure for managing skeletal class III malocclusion is maxillary advancement with mandibular setback. Occlusal plane-altering orthognathic surgery, such as jaw rotation, is useful as well. Although clockwise jaw…

The flexor digitorum accessorius longus is an anomalous muscle with a reported prevalence of 1.6%-12.2% in cadaveric studies. Flexor digitorum accessorius longus courses through the tarsal tunnel and has been reported as an etiology of tars…

[BACKGROUND] Tumor innervation has been shown to be utilized by some solid cancers to support tumor initiation, growth, progression, and metastasis, as well as confer resistance to immune checkpoint blockade through suppression of antitumor…

[BACKGROUND]  Current near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based systems for continuous flap monitoring are highly sensitive for detecting malperfusion. However, the clinical utility and user experience are limited by the wired connection betw…

Full-thickness nasal tip reconstruction is a challenging process that requires provision of ample skin and soft tissue, and intricate cartilage structure that maintains its architecture in the long term. In this report, we describe reconstr…

[BACKGROUND] A deviated nose can be attributable to multiple anatomical factors, including asymmetric maxilla. A subalar graft helps to correct maxillary hypoplasia and may be a useful tool for correcting a deviated nose. The authors' objec…

[BACKGROUND] We investigated RNA sequencing-based transcriptome profiling and the transformation of mature osteoblasts into bone lining cells (BLCs) through a lineage tracing study to better understand the effect of mechanical unloading on …

[BACKGROUND] M fortuitum and M chelonae are commonly reported in surgical site infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacterium, but M septicum is rarely known. Herein, the authors report the first case of surgical site infection caused by…

Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injections improve muscle tone and range of motion (ROM) among stroke patients with upper limb spasticity. However, the efficacy of BTX-A injections for improving active function is unclear. We aimed to determ…

[BACKGROUND] Direct damage to the superior rectus (SR) muscle insertion following upper lid blepharoplasty has not been reported. We document a rare case of vertical diplopia due to direct damage to the SR muscle insertion following cosmeti…

[PURPOSE] To report our experience of endoscopic botulinum toxin injection in patients who experienced severe delayed gastric emptying after pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG). [MATERIALS AND METHODS] We reviewed the medical records of 6…

[OBJECTIVES] The purpose of this study was to compare the functional and cosmetic outcomes of robot-assisted neck dissection with those of conventional neck dissection. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] We prospectively analyzed 113 patients with he…

Craniosynostosis has a relatively low incidence in the general population and its treatment requires cautious approaches. For these reasons, patients are usually referred to several specialists or a medical center. Therefore, most trainees …

Although two dimensional cephalometry is the standard method for analyzing the results of orthognathic surgery, it has potential limits in frontal soft tissue analysis. We have utilized a 3 dimensional camera to examine changes in soft tiss…

[BACKGROUNDS] The aims of the present study were to determine the exact level of separation of the upper lateral cartilage from the septal cartilage, and to classify the patterns of connection between the upper lateral cartilage and the low…

Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) (Ofuji's disease) is a rare dermatosis of unknown etiology. We describe a 45-year-old Chinese woman who developed EPF on her face seven years after having nose and chin augmentation with subcutaneous…

The objective of this study was to present data supporting the effectiveness of performing mini and full abdominoplasties under conscious sedation with local anesthesia. The authors performed 20 such operations between 1994 and 1996, using …
