Face transplantation (FT) offers a reconstructive option for patients with severe facial disfigurements by restoring both function and appearance. Aesthetic outcomes, which are crucial to psychological well-being social reintegration, have historically been evaluated subjectively. This study introduces the AI Research Metrics Model (CAARISMA ® ARMM), machine learning-based medical device designed objectively assess aesthetic outcomes in FT patients. Overall, 14 were analyzed using CAARISMA...
Facial implantology, a crucial facet of plastic and reconstructive surgery, focuses on optimizing implant materials for facial augmentation reconstruction. This manuscript explores the use Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implants in craniofacial highlighting challenges advancements this field. While PEEK offers mechanical resilience, durability, compatibility with imaging modalities, its biologically inert nature hinders integration host tissue, which may lead to complications. In systematic...
Purpose A major concern for patients undergoing facial transplantation relates to postoperative appearance. This study leverages artificial intelligence (AI) visual analysis software provide an objective assessment of perceived age and degree resemblance the donor. Methods Postoperative images 15 face transplant were analyzed by Visage Technologies Visage|SDK™ AI determine age. subgroup eight patients, which donor patient pretrauma photographs available, was using same percent similarity...
Background Direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction offers immediate aesthetic and psychological benefits, but the role of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) remains debated. Using a multi-institutional database, this study evaluates compares outcomes between ADM-assisted non-ADM DTI procedures. Methods The American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2008 to 2022 was queried identify female patients who underwent for oncological purposes. Patients...
There is limited experience with facial retransplantation (fRT). We report on the management of in a vascularized composite allotransplant recipient following irreversible allograft loss 88 months after first transplant. Chronic antibody-mediated rejection and recurrent cellular resulted deteriorated patient underwent retransplantation. summarize events between two transplantations, focusing final episode. describe surgical technique retransplantation, immunological psychosocial management,...
Background: The grading process in facial palsy (FP) patients is crucial for time- and cost-effective therapy decision-making. House-Brackmann scale (HBS) represents the most commonly used classification system FP diagnostics. This study investigated benefits of linking machine learning (ML) techniques with HBS. Methods: Image datasets 51 seen at Department Plastic, Hand, Reconstructive Surgery University Hospital Regensburg, Germany, between June 2020 May 2021, were to build neural network....
Background: Global healthcare delivery is challenged by the aging population and increase in obesity type 2 diabetes. The extent to which such trends affect cohort of patients authors surgically operate on remains be elucidated. Comprising 8.7 million surgical patients, American College Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database can analyzed investigate echo general dynamics forecast future trends. Material methods: reviewed ACS-NSQIP (2008–2020) its...
Background: Breast cancer mortality and treatment differ across racial groups. It remains unclear whether such disparities are also reflected in perioperative outcomes of breast patients undergoing mastectomy. Study Design: We reviewed the American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database (2008-2021) to identify female who underwent mastectomy for oncological purposes. The were stratified by five groups (white, Black/African American, Asian,...
