Characterizing the Impact of Facial Rehabilitation on Acute Facial Paralysis
Conclusions and Relevance FRT can provide meaningful improvement in functionality for patients with acute FP, regardless of time to treatment. Furthermore, patients who present with poorer functionality at baseline and those who undergo more treatment are most likely to see SFGS improvement. Research comparing the effect of facial rehabilitation with other treatment modalities and to a control cohort is warranted.

Microsurgical training on non-living models: a systematic literature review
ConclusionsThe results of this study have shown that many different non-living models are available not only for basic microsurgical training, but also for intermediate training. These models allow to improve microsurgical and supermicrosurgical skills, simultaneously reducing the use of living animals, according to the “3 R” principle. Their main limitation is that due to their characteristics, as tissue consistency and the absence of a pumping flow, they do not provide a realistic experience as that on living animals, which are still the reference for the final phases of microsurgical training.Level of evidence:Not r...

Nerve Versus Tendon Transfers in the Management of Isolated Upper Extremity Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Upper extremity peripheral nerve injuries present functional deficits that are amenable to management by tendon or nerve transfers. The principles of tendon and nerve transfers are discussed, with technical descriptions of preferred tendon and nerve transfers for radial, median, and ulnar nerve injuries.

The Art of Local Tissue Rearrangements in Burn Reconstruction
In recent decades, advances in surgical anatomy, burn pathophysiology, surgical techniques, and laser therapy have led to a paradigm shift in how we approach burn scars and contractures. Scar excision and replacement with uninjured tissue, which predominated burn scar treatment for much of the 20th century, is no longer appropriate in many patients. A scar ’s intrinsic ability to remodel can be induced by reducing tension on the scar using various techniques for local tissue rearrangement. Often in combination with laser therapy, local flaps can optimally camouflage a burn scar with adjacent normal tissue and restore a p...

Direct Neck Lift for Men
Direct neck lift offers an excellent surgical technique for men seeking to rejuvenate the neck and avoid a full rhytidectomy. In this chapter, we provide an overview of direct submentoplasty techniques, as well as clinical pearls to consider in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. Different surgical incisions and resultant scars in the anterior neck are discussed and illustrated with figures. Given the degree of variation of submental fullness with which patients present, it is beneficial to be familiar with several different techniques to address the submental and submandibular areas.
