[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of hybrid surgery combined with the sleeve technique in treating spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF). [METHODS] A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 16…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is widely used for forehead rejuvenation, but risks complications like brow ptosis with conventional pan-frontalis injections. Recent study highlights the frontalis muscle's bidirectional movement, d…

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients undergoing free flap reconstruction face a high risk of surgical site infection (SSI). Logistic regression (LR) models for SSI prediction are limited by linear assumptions, while machin…

[BACKGROUND] The chin significantly influences facial aesthetics, contributing to the overall balance and harmony of the face. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the hyaluronic acid filler Hyamax® Volumizer for chin augmentatio…

[BACKGROUND] Perioperative hypothermia is common during liposuction and can lead to delayed recovery, shivering, and patient discomfort. Although electric warming (EW) systems are effective, their use may be limited in certain settings. [O…

[BACKGROUND] Survival and regeneration mechanisms of large (>250 mL) fat grafts remain incompletely understood. In fat grafts from volunteers with megavolume fat transfer breast augmentation, neovascularization and inflammatory cell infiltr…

[BACKGROUND] An improperly established tip graft can lead to a narrow tip over time. To further refine the nasal tip and reduce the possibility of a narrow pointy tip, a shield graft and a tip onlay graft made from rib cartilage were fixate…

The current study examined the relationship between mothers' selfie-related behaviors and adolescents' cosmetic surgery consideration, as well as the mediating effects of the adolescents' selfie-related behaviors, body surveillance, and fac…

[BACKGROUND] Implant infection continues to be the most common complication of breast reconstruction, and it can lead to serious consequences of implant loss. Recently, endoscopic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy with direct-to-implant br…

The miniaturization of biomedical microrobots is crucial for their applications. However, it is challenging to reduce their size while maintaining their biomedical functions. To resolve this contradiction, we propose a semiphysical design …

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic immune-mediated disease that affects the entire colon and rectum with a relapsing and remitting course, causing lifelong morbidity. When medical treatment is ineffective, especially in cases of massive g…

[OBJECTIVE] In orthopedic trauma, identification of extremity trauma combined with vascular injury is challenging. Missed diagnosis may result in amputation or even death. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether physical examin…

The delivery of NO at a high spatiotemporal precision is important but still challenging for existing NO-releasing platforms due to the lack of precise motion control and limited biomedical functions. In this work, we propose an alternative…

[OBJECTIVES] Patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS) often resort to botulinum toxin injections or microvascular decompression surgery when medication exhibits limited effectiveness. This study aimed to identify MRI and demographic factors ass…

[OBJECTIVE] To elucidate the underlying mechanism of iron deficiency augmented Angiotensin II-induced aortic medial degeneration. [METHODS] ApoE mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group (NC group), Angiotensin II (…

[BACKGROUND] Aesthetic improvement of the chin is increasingly requested by patients, including those of Chinese origin. [METHODS] A randomized, evaluator-blinded, no-treatment controlled study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of a f…

[PURPOSE] Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG), which had been used widely for breast augmentation, has been banned for more than 15 years. Patients who had been injected PAHG for breast augmentation need evacuation surgery to remove as much as p…

[BACKGROUND] Fat grafting is widely used in breast reconstruction and aesthetic plastic surgery. However, the success rate and effects of fat grafting, especially in elderly female donors, are observed. This study aimed to explore the diffe…

[BACKGROUND] There are few studies of Chinese patients who request silicone breast implant removal after at least 10 years of implantation without any complications. This study aimed to study the characteristics of these patients, explore t…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Due to the increasing demand for improving the morphology and function of the external genitalia amongst women, it is necessary to conduct statistical analysis of research data on female genital reconstruction. T…

Papillary thyroid carcinoma with esophageal invasion often requires simultaneous reconstruction after radical tumor resection. However, in a recurrent case, with the upper aerodigestive tract previously reconstructed by a free flap, the alt…

[OBJECTIVE] We aimed to validate and evaluate the comprehensive complication index (CCI) as a measure of postoperative complications (POCs) in the patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who had undergone free-flap recon…

[BACKGROUND] This study aims to propose a lateral cervical stria approach for selective neck dissection (SND) in patients of early-stage oral malignancies. [MATERIAL AND METHODS] The lateral cervical stria approach was used in 11 patients …

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the choice of immediate breast reconstructive methods and asso-ciated outcomes after modified radical mastectomy. [METHODS] Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing immediate breast reconstruction after modi…

[AIM] To develop a novel and simplified parameter for mandible angle asymmetry (MAA) evaluation for facial countering surgeries in Chinese females. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] A total of 250 craniofacial computer tomography of healthy Chinese …

Three-dimensional digital technology has been widely applied in craniofacial surgeries, particularly in conventional procedures such as facial contouring and orthognathic surgery. To some extent, the process has already been standardized. A…

[PURPOSE] Surgical interventions in the urologic management of children with neurogenic bladder secondary to spina bifida aim to preserve upper tract function, prevent urinary tract infections, and optimize quality of life. However, since t…

[PURPOSE] To establish a three-dimensional method to evaluate whether there is a difference in stability between bimaxillary simultaneous genioplasty and simple genioplasty. [METHODS] This study was a retrospective study. Sixty patients wh…

[BACKGROUND] In recent years, the demand for facial rejuvenation is increasing year by year. This study aims to use bibliometric analysis to construct a visualization map of the facial rejuvenation research and provide the research hotspots…
