Nonmetric Variants of Anatolian Crania: A Preliminary Study
This study aimed to examine the nonmetric cranial variants to evaluate differences among sex and side correlations in Anatolian dry skulls. This study was carried out on 50 Anatolian adult dry human skulls (22 males, 28 females) with suitable features (nonfractured and/or with necessary features) out of a total of 97 dry skulls. After sex analysis, each skull was photographed from the norma frontalis, lateralis, inferior, and superior. Eleven nonmetrical cranial variants were investigated. The cranial variants and side incidences were analyzed to determine their sex differences and interside correlations. After the classif...

Unravelling the Complex Anatomy of the Tear Trough and Lower Eyelid Folds: A Review of Cadaveric Studies in the Literature
The lower eyelid tear trough deformity is a common cosmetic concern which is the result of multiple anatomic changes in the lower eyelid, usually resulting from age. A sound understanding of the underlying anatomy is vital to inform surgeons about the ideal treatment options for rejuvenation of this region and to minimize the risk of complications. Cadaveric studies provide unique insight into underlying anatomic changes. Here we review the relevant published cadaveric studies relating to the tear trough deformity and its treatment.

Optimizing Flap Harvest in Auricular Reconstruction
Conclusions:
This study highlights the anatomic features behind optimal TPF and OCP flap design for auricular reconstruction. Contributions to axial length and anatomic relationships of their primary arterial supply, significance of the occipital elbow as a reliable landmark for fascial dissection, and importance of the postauricular fascia and its vascular supply for flap viability are emphasized. Ultimately, the authors provide minimal dimensions for both TPF and OCP flaps to obtain adequate alloplastic implant coverage. (Source: Journal of Craniofacial Surgery)

Surgical Techniques for the Repair of Webbed Neck: A Scoping Review
Webbed neck is a rare condition characterized by bilateral subcutaneous bands, which extend from approximately the mastoid to the acromion. Given its rarity, the literature lacks a review of the techniques used in the repair of this condition. We performed a scoping review to define and summarize the surgical techniques been used in the treatment of webbed neck, with the goal of better equipping the surgeons’ armamentarium. Two databases, PubMed and Scopus, were searched from inception through December 27, 2021. Studies were considered for inclusion if they (1) described the webbed neck condition and (2) reported results...

Orbicularis-Tarsus-Orbital Septum Fixation Technique in Asian Double-Eyelid Blepharoplasty: a Retrospective Study
Conclusions:
The orbicularis-tarsus-orbital septum fixation technique is safe and effective for double-eyelid blepharoplasty. This technique helps to form stable upper eyelid creases. Meanwhile, it is easy to achieve ideal curve and symmetry. By preserving the pretarsal tissue and using the orbital septum, sunken scar formation can be avoided.

The Multiple Rib Osteomyocutaneous Split Latissimus Dorsi Flap for Calvarial Reconstruction: Indication, Operative Technique, and Review of Literature
Major complex cranial defects may be challenging for the reconstructive microsurgeon. Affected patients often present with impaired soft tissues including dura exposure or fistulas. The lacking structural bony support may cause severe neurological issues and in select patients, there is a need for well-vascularized autologous tissue repair. The authors herein elucidate the role of the multiple rib osteomyocutaneous split latissimus dorsi flap for reconstruction of composite skull defects, providing an indication, an exemplary case, operation technique, and literature review. A 40-year-old woman after anaplastic oligodendro...

The Split Hypoglossal Nerve and Cross-Face Nerve Graft for Dual Innervation of the Functional Muscle Transfer in Facial Reanimation
In conclusion, dual innervation of the free muscle transfer using both the split hypoglossal nerve and CFNG (both sutured in an end-to-end manner to the nerve to gracilis) is a good possible option to treat long-standing cases of facial nerve paralysis. It yields adequate muscle excursion with acceptable spontaneity. (Source: Journal of Craniofacial Surgery)

Alar Base Reduction with Y-V Sill Flap
Rhinoplasty is one of the most common surgical intervention among all surgeries in esthetic and plastic surgery procedures. The alar bases have important roles in terms of overall appearance of the nose and the functionality but the research so far which focused specifically on alar base surgery can be considered as insufficient. In the present study, the author aims to demonstrate the beneficial effects of performing Y-V flaps in reduction of the alar base during preservation rhinoplasty procedures. The present study was designed as a retrospective. The inclusion criteria consisted of the following: having a preservation ...

A Very Simple Suture Technique for Correction of Primary Multiple Folds in Asian Eyelids
Conclusions:
People with thin upper eyelid skin or slightly protruding eyes are more likely to develop multiple folds at a young age, even in their teens or 20s. The authors performed a skin suture during upper blepharoplasty, and then performed a transverse mattress suture on the spots where multiple folds are expected. Patients who underwent the suture technique showed better aesthetic results and a significantly lower recurrence rate. (Source: Journal of Craniofacial Surgery)
