Background: To address patient health literacy, the American Medical Association recommends that readability of education materials should not exceed a sixth grade reading level; National Institutes Health recommend no greater than an eigth-grade level. However, patient-facing in plastic surgery often remain at above-recommended average The purpose this study was to evaluate ChatGPT 3.5 as tool for optimizing craniofacial materials. Methods: Eighteen were evaluated by traditional calculator...
Orthognathic surgery represents a critical intervention within the continuum of care for patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP). Postoperative relapse is significant complication often necessitates reoperation. This study assesses risk factors reoperation due to following orthognathic surgery. A retrospective review was conducted CLP who underwent correction class III malocclusion between 2005 2024, excluding those under 6 months follow-up. Maxillary advancement techniques included...
Background Soft tissue procedures are often crucial for normalizing the long-term facial appearance in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis, yet they underrepresented literature and existing treatment algorithms. This study evaluated secondary soft surgeries relation to skeletal operations craniosynostosis. Methods A retrospective review craniosynostosis treated at a tertiary children's hospital from 2003 2023. Craniofacial were assessed timing frequency. Skeletal included redo...
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have informed perioperative care across multiple surgical specialties, optimizing patient outcomes through stress management and accelerated recovery. This study evaluates the familiarity adoption of ERAS elements among craniofacial oral maxillofacial surgeons in pediatric orthognathic surgery, a field where formal protocol has not been established. A closed-ended survey 102 was conducted to assess with utilization 14 elements. The garnered...
Background: Successful nipple–areolar complex (NAC) reconstruction greatly influences patient outcomes for transgender patients undergoing chest masculinization. Despite the recent rise in case volume, little is known on designing ideal NAC that maintains its aesthetics dynamic settings. This study aimed to examine characteristics of male NACs and their dimensional variability help develop guidelines neo-NAC. Methods: Thirty cisgender participants were enrolled. height width, sternal...
