[PURPOSE] The identification of novel pathways in the etiopathogenesis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) holds promise for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. This study investigates the immunohistochemical expression of carbo…

Reconstruction of full-thickness lower eyelid defects remains a complex challenge due to the simultaneous requirements of functional protection, dynamic closure, and aesthetic harmony. Various local and free flaps exist, but limitations suc…

[PURPOSE] To identify independent predictors of recurrence following CT-guided partial radiofrequency ablation (RFA) via the stylomastoid foramen for refractory primary hemifacial spasm (HFS). [METHODS] We retrospectively analyzed data fro…

Eyelid retraction, cicatricial entropion, and deformities associated with facial nerve palsy are among the eyelid malpositions most detrimental to the ocular surface, as they cause exposure, tear film instability, inflammation, and potentia…
