BACKGROUND: Nanotextured breast implants (classified as smooth implants by the latest ISO 14607:2018) have been described as they may reduce major textured implant-related complications such as capsular contracture and breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma. On the other hand, micro-textured breast implants benefit from an optimal safety profile based on a much larger body of literature. OBJECTIVES: To directly compare the incidence of complications between Motiva Ergonomix (Establishment Labs, Alajuela, Costa Rica) and Polytech MESMO (Polytech Health & Aesthetics GmbH, Dieburg, Germany) breast implants, especially regarding the displacement issues that might arise after breast augmentation...

OBJECTIVES: Some patients develop ulnar nerve compression due to rare anatomical variations or malformations. The aims of this review are to provide a comprehensive overview of anatomical structures and variations that can cause ulnar nerve compression and to evaluate treatment options. METHODS: Case reports and case series about rare cases of unusual ulnar nerve compression published from January 2000 until April 2022 were obtained from databases Embase, MEDLINE, and Web of Science...

BACKGROUND: Revision rhinoplasty presents unique challenges, particularly in achieving structural integrity and aesthetic harmony. This study explores the efficacy of costal grafts in addressing these challenges, focusing on anatomical corrections and patient outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing revision rhinoplasty with costal grafts. An algorithmic approach was applied to tailor the surgical technique to individual anatomical needs, documented through pre- and postoperative assessments, including CT imaging and 3D scanning...

Introduction The New Zealand population has one of the highest incidences of skin cancer in the world. Hospital waiting lists for surgical excision of keratinocytic skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) are lengthy, and increasingly, excisions are undertaken in primary care. Teledermatology, in response to general practitioners' electronic referrals (e-referrals), can improve clinical communication between general practitioners and dermatologists. Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate an excision pathway for keratinocytic cancers diagnosed by teledermatology...

BACKGROUND: There is evidence that patient-specific plate fixation for Le Fort I osteotomies (LFI) is more stable than traditional plates. The purpose of this study was to evaluate stability of LFI in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) and determine stability differences between patient-specific and stock plates. METHODS: Consecutive patients with CLP who underwent isolated LFI by one surgeon (BLP) between 2016 and 2021 were included. The predictor variable was type of plate used for fixation (patient-specific or stock)...

BACKGROUND: The success of upper blepharoplasty depends on both surgeon experience and skill as well as patient factors. Therefore, we aimed to identify patient-specific characteristics that may contribute to poor prognoses by analyzing data derived from patients with various deformities after undergoing upper blepharoplasty. METHODS: This study included 202 patients who underwent revision surgery for upper blepharoplasty. We explored relationships between types of deformities before revisions and relevant patient factors before initial surgery using statistical analyses...

BACKGROUND: Traumatic hand injuries often present with high acuity, but little is known about the influence of geospatial and socioeconomic factors on the timely delivery of care. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used the Michigan Trauma Quality Improvement Program database, a state-wide registry with 35 level I or II trauma centers. Adult patients sustained hand trauma requiring urgent operative treatment between 2016 and 2021. Zip codes of injury location were linked with the corresponding percentile score on the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), a comprehensive measure of neighborhood disadvantage...

PURPOSE: For decades, there has been an ongoing debate about the ideal timing of orbital fracture repair (OFR) in adults. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent OFR at two centers (2015-2019). Excluded were patients <18 years old and those with follow-up <2 weeks. Our primary outcome was the incidence/persistence of postoperative enophthalmos/diplopia at least 2 weeks following OFR. The association between surgical timing and postoperative ocular complications was assessed in patients with extraocular muscle (EOM) entrapment, enophthalmos and/or diplopia, and different fracture sizes...

BACKGROUND: Despite the existence of American Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Association (ACPA)-approved Cleft and Craniofacial Teams, access to multidisciplinary team-based care remains challenging for patients from rural areas, leading to disparities in care. We investigated the geospatial relationship between U.S. counties and ACPA-approved centers. METHODS: The geographic location of all ACPA-approved cleft and craniofacial centers in the U.S. was identified...

INTRO: The assessment of scar outcomes is important to both patient care and research focused on understanding the results of medical and surgical interventions. The Vancouver Scar Scale and Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale are validated and simple instruments to assess scars. However, these subjective scales have shortcomings. The VSS fails to capture patient perception and has indeterminate validity and reliability. The POSAS captures patient perception, but the observer scale has been shown to have moderate amounts of inter-rater variability...

BACKGROUND: In performing a neck lift, the size and location of the submandibular gland (SMG) must be evaluated to achieve the ideal neck contour. Many surgeons, however, avoid SMG excision because of the technical difficulty, risks of hematoma, and nerve damage. LigaSure™ (Valleylab, Boulder, CO) is a bipolar energy-based instrument that permanently seals vessels and connective tissue which can make the SMG excision step easy and safe by reducing surgical risks. METHODS: A total of 83 patients who underwent SMG excision between 2018 and 2022 were included in the study...

INTRODUCTION: In children with PRS, MDO is routinely performed to alleviate airway obstruction; however, it involves risk of injury to the MMN. We hypothesize that MMN palsy incidence following MDO, reported at 1-15%, is underestimated. This study investigates the true incidence of MMN palsy after MDO to better guide follow-up care and improve treatment of this complication. METHODS: A retrospective review of PRS patients who underwent MDO at a single, tertiary pediatric hospital between September 2007 and March 2021 was conducted...

BACKGROUND: Following passage of the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA), a steady rise in breast reconstruction rates was reported; however, a recent update is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate longitudinal trends in breast reconstruction (BR) rates in the U.S. and relevant sociodemographic factors. METHODS: Mastectomy cases with/without BR from 2005 through 2017 were abstracted from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP), Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, and National Cancer Database (NCDB)...

BACKGROUND: Root-level suprascapular nerve palsy is commonly reconstructed via spinal accessory nerve transfer in brachial plexus injury, yet some patients fail to recover. We hypothesize that this relates to concomitant undetected lesions distal to the nerve transfer coaptation. METHODS: 67 patients with plexus injury and C5/6 root involvement were included in this prospective study between March 2021 and October 2022. During spinal accessory to suprascapular nerve transfer the entire suprascapular nerve was explored, via cresenteric clavicular osteotomy, and anatomic variations and injury patterns categorized...

BACKGROUND: Tissue expansion for treating giant congenital melanocytic nevi (GCMN) is a commonly employed surgical method. However, the procedure's efficacy is often hindered by anatomical and histological characteristics as well as blood supply, particularly in the extremities and trunk. Enhancing expansion efficiency while reducing complications is thus a topic to be investigated, especially for pediatric patients undergoing rapid physical and psychological development with higher risks of non-compliance to medical instructions...
