B-Ultrasound-Assisted Gluteal Fat Grafting in Asians: A Prospective Study of Quantitative Results with Three-Dimensional Imaging and B-Ultrasound Analysis
The increasing number of fatalities caused by gluteal fat grafting is concerning; thus, there is a need to determine ways to obtain the ideal aesthetic effect while ensuring a safe operation. In this paper, three-dimensional (3D) measurements combined with B-ultrasound were used to evaluate the effect of gluteal fat augmentation in Asians, whose safety and effectiveness were confirmed by quantitative data.

Evaluation of a high fidelity cleft alveolar bone graft simulator
Cleft alveolar bone graft surgery is technically challenging to perform as well as difficult to learn and teach. A high fidelity cleft alveolar bone graft simulator was previously developed. However, further evaluation of the simulator is necessary to assess its efficacy. (Source: Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery)

Congenital midline cervical cleft: Management of a case series and literature review
Congenital cervical cleft of the midline is a rare anomaly classified as a malformation of the branchial arches and represents less than 2% of congenital cervical malformations. Its clinical presentation involves cervical midline deformities: cephalic nodular lesion, linear groove with atrophic surface and/or caudal sinus. Other midline alterations of variable complexity can also be present. Its treatment should be performed early to avoid long-term complications. Based on the approach of four patients by the authors, a search for the reports published in the last twenty years on the subject in the international literature...

Revalidating the prognostic relevance of the Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI) - A twenty-year experience examining the performance of the ABSI score in consideration of progression and advantages of burn treatments from a single center in Vienna
The Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI) is a five-variable scale to help evaluate burn severity upon initial assessment. As other studies have been conducted with comparatively small patient populations, the purpose of this study is to revalidate the prognostic relevance of the ABSI in our selected population (N=1193) four decades after its introduction considering the progress in the treatment of severe burn injuries over the past decades. In addition, we evaluate whether comorbidities have an influence on the survival probability of severely burned patients. (Source: Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery)

Microsurgical limb reconstruction in the non-concordant patient
Substance misuse is common in patients undergoing limb reconstruction secondary to open fractures and fracture related infection. This group risk breaching the social contract with their treating team through reduced engagement with perioperative care. Potential problems include limited social support, intravenous access, analgesia and withdrawal. These factors may negatively influence the range of treatments offered to this group.We aimed to establish the prevalence and outcomes of the problematically non-concordant cohort in our limb reconstruction population, who we aim to treat equitably even where non-concordance is s...

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 ...
