Oncoplastic Entirely Robot-Assisted Approach: Incorporating Robotic Surgery in Both Mastectomy and DIEP Flap Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Breast cancer surgery involves a minimally invasive approach with the assistance of robotic technology. Robots can be used for harvesting free deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flaps for breast reconstruction to…

Evolution of Dental Rehabilitation in Free Fibula Flap for Segmental Jaw Defects.
The free fibula flap has transformed mandibular reconstruction, evolving from simply for bone defect reconstruction to including immediate dental rehabilitation and from a staged to a simultaneous procedure. This paper chronicles the progre…

An Alternative Approach for Treating Female Underactive Bladders with Chronic Urine Retention: A Pilot Study on Combined Transvaginal Ultrasound-Guided Botulinum Toxin A External Sphincter Injection and Transurethral Incision of the Bladder Neck.
Treating an underactive bladder (UAB) is challenging. Previously, we introduced a more precise method of transvaginal ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection into the external urethral sphincter as a treatment option for pati…

Differential outcomes of jaw bone position after surgical-orthodontic treatment in three types of skeletal Class III asymmetry patients.
[BACKGROUND/PURPOSE] Facial asymmetry is common in Class III patients requiring orthognathic surgery. This study aimed to analyze jaw bone position after surgical-orthodontic treatment in three types of skeletal Class III asymmetry patients…

Novel Port Placement in Robot-Assisted DIEP Flap Harvest Improves Visibility and Bilateral DIEP Access: Early Controlled Cohort Study.
[SUMMARY] To minimize donor-site damage, robot-assisted (RA) deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap harvest has been suggested. Current robotic approaches favor port placement, which either does not allow a bilateral DIEP flap harv…

The Efficacy of Transvaginal Ultrasound-Guided BoNT-A External Sphincter Injection in Female Patients with Underactive Bladder.
Owing to the diverse treatment outcomes after a botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection to the external sphincter, this study aimed to develop a new technique: an ultrasound-guided BoNT-A external sphincter injection. This single-center prospe…

Reconstruction of mandibular defects involving the central segment with fibula osteoseptocutaneous free flap following ameloblastoma resection: Patient-reported outcomes.
[OBJECTIVES] Mandibular defects involving the central segment are challenging. This study analyzes the impact of defect extent and reconstruction method on quality of life (QOL) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Tw…

Effects of masticatory muscle function affected by BTX on maxillofacial bone growth through the sutural modification.
[OBJECTIVES] To evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX)-induced masticatory muscle hypofunction on the maxillofacial suture bone growth of growing rats. [SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION] Department of Orthodontics at Taipei Medic…

Treatment of at-level spinal cord injury pain with botulinum toxin A.
[STUDY DESIGN] Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, cross-over study. [OBJECTIVE] To explore whether botulinum toxin A (BoNTA) could be effective for treating at-level spinal cord injury (SCI) pain. [SETTING] Outpatient SCI cli…

Masticatory hypofunction effects induced by BTXA injection of hippocampal neurons in developing rats.
[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE] In clinical practice, malocclusion is often encountered during the period of growth and development of individuals. In addition to nutritional imbalance, some studies have found that mastication affects learning a…

Mechanism of motor coordination of masseter and temporalis muscles for increased masticatory efficiency in mice.
The demand for the use of mice as animal models for elucidating the pathophysiologies and pathogeneses of oral motor disorders has been increasing in recent years, as more and more kinds of genetically modified mice that express functional …

Changes of masseter muscle activity following injection of botulinum toxin type A in adult rats.
[OBJECTIVES] To investigate changes in masseter muscle function following intramuscular injection of different dose-dependent botulinum toxin type A (BTXA). [SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION] Department of Orthodontics at Taipei Medical Unive…
