This review evaluates evidence linking perioperative cannabis use to prolonged opioid use and functional outcomes in head and neck cancer patients undergoing free flap reconstruction, emphasizing implications for pain management.
This multicenter randomized study confirms that Belotero Intense with lidocaine is a safe and effective hyaluronic acid filler for lip augmentation, showing noninferiority to Restylane Silk and sustained improvement up to 48 weeks.
A Norwegian cross-sectional study identifies modifiable local factors, including soft-tissue phenotype and prosthetic design parameters, linked to peri-implantitis and peri-implant soft-tissue dehiscence in dental implants.
This study compares surgical outcomes in prepectoral tissue expander breast reconstruction following mastectomy, revealing that adjuvant chemotherapy increases major complication risks, while neoadjuvant chemotherapy and perioperative leuko
This study shows that prior implant-based reconstruction combined with radiotherapy increases perioperative microvascular complications but not flap necrosis in delayed DIEP flap breast reconstruction, highlighting increased surgical comple
A 19-year retrospective study demonstrates that the nasolabial muscle tension line reconstruction technique yields long-term aesthetic and functional improvements in microform cleft lip repair, with robust nasolabial symmetry and minimal sc
This study evaluates wound healing and pain outcomes among PRF, PRGF, collagen-based dressing, and spontaneous healing in standardized palatal defects, revealing minimal added benefit from adjunctive treatments in healthy individuals.
A retrospective study of 823 patients demonstrates that the kite-shaped suture fixation technique significantly reduces hump recurrence and revision surgery rates compared to conventional mattress sutures in low septal strip preservation rh
A novel marker-based optical motion capture system demonstrates excellent reliability and validity in measuring upper limb joint range of motion in burn injury patients, offering a promising objective alternative to conventional goniometers
This study demonstrates that standardized dosing of tranexamic acid, combined with local anesthetic in rhytidectomy, does not increase ischemic or systemic complications, supporting its safe use in facelift procedures.
A standardized unified surgical approach for male torso deformities after massive weight loss demonstrates safety, low complication rates, and marked patient satisfaction across 443 cases.
Functional rhinoplasty improves nasal obstruction symptoms and these disease-specific improvements correlate with reductions in anxiety, depression, and pain/discomfort, influencing long-term global quality of life.
This retrospective study assesses the safety and impact of tranexamic acid on bleeding, transfusions, and complications in head and neck free flap surgery, finding no significant difference in outcomes and supporting its safe use.
This study assesses bony union rates after osseous microvascular midface reconstruction and their correlation with postoperative complications, emphasizing factors influencing union such as surgical technique and adjuvant therapies.
This study assesses early postoperative complications following tissue expander breast reconstruction using polydioxanone synthetic mesh, biologic mesh, or no mesh, revealing comparable short-term outcomes and highlighting factors like radi
This study evaluates the utility of the 5-factor modified frailty index (mFI-5) in predicting wound-healing complications after reduction mammoplasty, finding that advanced age, rather than mFI-5 score, is a more reliable risk predictor.
Delaying acellular dermal matrix (ADM) placement to the second-stage implant exchange in prepectoral 2-stage breast reconstruction reduces capsular contracture rates without increasing tissue expander loss, although seroma risk may rise in
A larger surface area of acellular dermal matrix relative to implant size significantly reduces capsular contracture risk following prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction, with radiotherapy remaining a major risk factor.
A retrospective cohort study reveals that shorter duration from migraine onset to trigger-site surgery predicts better postoperative headache frequency reduction, underscoring the benefit of early surgical intervention in medically refracto
This retrospective study compares awake loco-regional anesthesia with sedation (AIM) against general anesthesia for head and neck free flap reconstruction, demonstrating AIM’s safety, reduced operative time, and lower ICU use in frail
