Physiolyse mit Resektion des Vickers-Bandes bei adoleszenten Patienten mit Madelung-Deformit ät
CONCLUSION: In our cohort, the progression of Madelung's deformity was only partially halted by physiolysis with resection of the Vickers ligament, and a significant increase in pain symptoms during the study period could not be avoided. Therefore, this procedure should be used cautiously in skeletally immature patients.PMID:38608669 | DOI:10.1055/a-2262-0112 (Source: Handchirurgie Mikrochirurgie Plastische Chirurgie)

Anthropometric indices fail to predict complications after mastectomy for gynecomastia in adolescents
Gynecomastia is the abnormal enlargement of male glandular breast tissue. It is common during puberty and typically resolves spontaneously. However, approximately 10% of patients experience persistent and often permanent breast enlargement. Gynecomastia can have negative psychological effects on adolescents and may predispose them to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and reduced quality of life.1,2 Although routine management involves watchful waiting, there is evidence suggesting that surgical intervention before age 18 may lead to better psychosocial outcomes.

Evaluation of postoperative complications and adjuvant treatments following immediate prepectoral versus subpectoral direct-to-implant breast reconstruction without acellular dermal matrix.
In immediate breast reconstruction (IBR), it remains unclear whether there is any difference in complication rates between prepectoral versus subpectoral implant placement without acellular dermal matrix (ADM). (Source: Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery)

Minimally Invasive Male Facial Rejuvenation
The development of minimally invasive, non-surgical, and office-based procedures that have minimal downtime has stimulated an interest among men who may seek cosmetic treatments to increase competitiveness and appear youthful in the workplace. There has also been greater media attention on the male appearance and grooming along with increasing acceptance of cosmetic procedures within society. Achieving a successful cosmetic treatment in a male patient requires the physician to recognize the gender differences that exist. These include anatomy, skin aging, and skin biology, as well as behavioral patterns that exist in this ...

Controversies in Facial Reanimation: An International Survey
With limited data to guide recommendations in facial reanimation, many points of controversy are left to individual surgeon preference. The purpose of this study was to survey surgeons treating facial paralysis on areas of controversial treatment decisions regarding nerve transfers and gracilis free muscle transfer. Surveys were sent through the Sir Charles Bell Society, an international, multispecialty association, yielding 35 results from 12 countries. The majority of survey participants practice in an academic setting, have been in practice for greater than 10 years, and perform greater than 10 facial nerve cases per ye...

Construction of a Hair Implantation Needle Using Injection Needles and Assessment of its Efficiency Compared with Other Planting Methods
ConclusionsThe self-made hair implantation needle is a novel and efficient tool for synchronized punching and planting. It has a faster planting speed and does not require assistance.Level of Evidence IIThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

The Treatment of Alar Base Depression in Rhinoplasty with Diced Autologous Cartilage or Mass Cartilage: A Systematic Review
ConclusionsThe results demonstrate that both diced autologous cartilage and mass cartilage techniques exhibit favorable outcomes in correcting alar base depression. Diced autologous cartilage offers better malleability, lighter border contours, and a more natural appearance. On the other hand, diced autologous cartilage seems to offer superior long-term effects, while mass cartilage presents certain surgical procedural advantages. Also, compared to diced cartilage, mass cartilage may have a lower rate of long-term resorption and a lower risk of displacement. This review emphasizes the need for personalized treatment select...

Osteotomy Techniques in Preservation Rhinoplasty with an Analysis of a Radix –Skull Base Computed Tomography Series
This study aims to explain our experience with dorsal preservation osteotomies, focusing on transverse, lateral, and dorsal aesthetic lines (DAL) osteotomies. We describe the utilization of a variety of surgical instruments, including osteotomes, saws, burrs, and piezo. This paper describes our concept of transcutaneous ultrasonic osteotomy, microedged-specific osteotomy, applying drills for lateral wall reshaping, and integrating piezo technology to establish new DAL. Furthermore, we present a radix–skull base computed tomography series analysis to evaluate the safety of transverse and radix osteotomies. [...] Thieme Me...
