Microsurgery has revolutionized modern surgery through its precision and favorable outcomes, but it remains limited by operational difficulty and the scarcity of skilled surgeons. Advances in robotics and communication technology have enabl…

[OBJECTIVES] This study evaluated the natural history of giant cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) over 6 cm and compared long-term outcomes of interventional treatment versus conservative management. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Patien…

[BACKGROUND] Klimitz et al. used the ACS-NSQIP database to conduct an observational cohort study of 1,778 cases on the impact of obesity on 30-day complications after cosmetic abdominoplasty; the study has limitations in four aspects: obesi…

[BACKGROUND] Epicanthoplasty is frequently performed in Asian populations, but overcorrection-resulting in undesirable aesthetic and functional outcomes-remains a persistent challenge. [PURPOSE] This study investigates the efficacy of a no…

[BACKGROUND] An expander capsule is a fibrous membrane that forms around a tissue expander. However, its outcome is still unclear. Here we investigated the biomechanical and histological outcomes of cervical capsules that were left in vivo …

An expander capsule is a fibrous membrane that forms around an expander after tissue expansion. However, whether the capsule should be removed after the expander is removed remains controversial. The authors aimed to investigate the efficac…

[OBJECTIVES] This study evaluated the natural history of infratentorial brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and compared long-term outcomes of intervention versus conservative management. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Infratentorial AVMs fr…

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic surgery is becoming increasingly popular, but not all patients are suitable candidates. A thorough preoperative assessment and careful patient selection are essential for achieving successful outcomes. Given the challe…

[BACKGROUND] Depression is notably common among patients who have undergone mastectomy. Several post-mastectomy patients opt for elective breast reconstruction. However, evidence on the influence of preoperative depression on breast reconst…

[BACKGROUND] Giant keratoacanthoma, a rare variant solitary of keratoacanthoma is characterized by a diameter exceeding 20 mm, rapid growth, and destruction of underlying tissue. Traditionally, it has been considered to be a self-resolving …

[BACKGROUND] Emerging three-dimensional digital visualization technology (DVT) provides more advantages than traditional microscopy in microsurgery; however, its impact on microsurgeons' visual and nervous systems and delicate microsurgery …

[AIMS] To compare the efficacy and deficiency of conservative management (CM), microsurgery (MS) only, and microsurgery with preoperative embolization (E + MS) for unruptured arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). [METHODS] We prospectively i…

[BACKGROUND] Due to the high mortality and disability rate of intracranial hemorrhage, headache is not the main focus of research on cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM), so research on headaches in AVM is still scarce, and the clinica…

[OBJECTIVE] Reducing the incidence of delayed postoperative hemorrhage (DPH) is one of the challenges in the surgical treatment of patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs). This study aimed to identify several risk factors fo…

[BACKGROUND] The extubation time is critical during the intensive care unit stay in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients. The current conventional parameters for predicting extubation failure (EF) and extubation time may not b…

[BACKGROUND] Poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) can stimulate fibrous tissue regeneration to exert a filling effect. However, severe inflammatory reactions and unsatisfactory effects remain a concern. [OBJECTIVE] Herein, we describe the mechanism o…

[BACKGROUND] With an increasing number of East Asians undergoing blepharoplasty, the number of patients with secondary upper eyelid deformities is increasing. The sunken eyelid deformity is a common deformity after upper blepharoplasty in A…

[BACKGROUND] Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging plastic surgeries because it lacks a uniform standard for preoperative design or implementation. For a long time, rhinoplasties were done without an accurate consensus of aesthetic des…

Trismus is a rare complication of chemotherapy. The usefulness of a modified anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap for the repair of extensive oral defects in patients treated for chemotherapy-induced trismus was evaluated. Between 2019 and 2021, …

[BACKGROUND] Complex scalp wounds with cranial/dural involvement are challenging to reconstruct. Successful reconstruction can be achieved with cranial implants/hardware and free flap coverage. Wounds can breakdown and require revision proc…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to compare the risk and benefit profile of microsurgery (MS) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) as the first-line treatment for unruptured and ruptured arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). [MATERIALS AND METHO…

[BACKGROUND] Currently, there is a lack of intuitive analysis regarding the development trend, main authors, and research hotspots in the field of cerebral arteriovenous malformation treatment, as well as a detailed elaboration of possible …

[BACKGROUND] As a derivative of adipose tissues, stromal vascular fraction gel has been widely utilized in facial soft tissue filling, but it still does not achieve the expected effect in forehead filling. The reason may be related to the c…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) is used in the treatment of nasolabial folds (NLFs). However, lighting and clinician subjectivity play a major role in evaluating the efficacy of this treatment. [OBJECTIVES] By applying 3-dimensional…

Food-borne botulism is a rare but potentially fatal illness. Its management depends on rapid diagnosis and prompt antitoxin administration. However, diagnosing food-borne botulism can be challenging at an early stage. Here, we report a 62-y…

[BACKGROUND] Facial rejuvenation is becoming more and more popular, particularly among middle-aged persons. There are currently many techniques for improving the aforementioned situations, but each has its drawbacks. Our study aimed to disc…

[OBJECTIVE] Elevated ICP is a well-recognized phenomenon in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) that has been demonstrated to lead to poor outcomes. Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is the most important reason for a poor clinical outc…
