We experienced satisfactory outcomes by synchronously transplanting an artery and vein using anterolateral thigh flap pedicle between the vascular recipient vessel of a for scalp reconstruction. A 45-year-old man developed subdural hemorrhage due to fall injury. In this patient, right temporal cranium was missing patient had 4×3 cm 6×5 defects. planned reconstruction latissimus dorsi free flap. Intraoperatively, there severe injury superficial because previous neurosurgical operations. 15...

Chondroid syringoma is a rare mixed tumor of the skin which composed both mesenchymal and epithelial cells. Its incidence at less than 0.1% frequently located on head neck. easily confused with epidermal cysts. Since malignant forms chondroid have been reported, accurate timely diagnosis important for proper management. We report clinical histological features in 5 patients treated our institution. In most cases, presented as round, firm, nodular or cystic lesion that had well marginated...

Most women consider an oval-shaped face to be youthful and beautiful. In recent years, demand has grown for surgical procedures with a shorter downtime fewer complications. These minimally invasive include botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA) injection, filler suction-assisted liposuction (SAL), laser-assisted lipolysis (LAL), thread lifting, fat grafting. This study aims introduce effective method creating aesthetically pleasing lower using combination of procedures.From March 2017 2019, 94...

Background The number of cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries that use breast implants is increasing in Korea. Recently, it has been reported implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma related to textured implants, interest classification according the texture increasing. However, there currently no clear unified classification. In particular, definition "microtextured" highly varied. this study, we retrospectively investigated analyzed clinical outcomes smooth microtextured...

A lyophilized alginate lyase preparation obtained from dialyzed extract of sonicated Pseudomonas sp. cells was fractionated by gell filtration on a Sephadex G-150 column, and three [EC4.2.2.3] fractions, peaks I, II, III, were obtained. They remarkably thermolabile. The fractions degraded two kinds fragments, polygluuronide (SG), polyuronide consisting both mannuronic guluronic acid residues (SMG), as well commerical alginate, but virtually inactive toward polymannuronide fragment (SM)....

Two endo-alginate lyases [EC 4.2.2.3] differing in their mode of degradation substrates and practically free polymannuronide lyase activity were partially purified from Pseudomonas sp. cells. Their substrate specificities investigated for two different kinds alginate fragments; a polyguluronide (SG) polyuronide consisting mannuronic (M) guluronic (G) acid residues (SMG). The effects various salts some organic compounds such as EDTA p-chloromercuribenzoate on the similar. High concentrations...

Epidermal cysts are also called epidermal inclusion cysts, epidermoid and infundibular cysts. Clinically, they round, firm, elevated, movable, grow slowly as intradermal or subcutaneous lesions. It has been suggested that these originate from the portion of hair follicle. Therefore, occur on hair-bearing areas primarily including scalp, face, neck, trunk. palms soles, where there no follicles, rare [1,2]. The etiology soles may be different those caused by inflammation Traumatic implantation...

Background Mandibular contouring surgery to produce a more slender and small face has become popular, especially in East Asia. Narrowing genioplasty should be simultaneously performed with mandibular angle resection achieve satisfactory results. In Korea, T-genioplasty been frequently for chin narrowing. The authors developed new, safe, reliable method, termed M-genioplasty, that can provide attractive lower face. Methods From June 2013 December 2017, 36 patients underwent M-genioplasty...

Abstract Laser lipolysis has a skin tightening effect by heating the deep dermis, in addition to removal of fat tissues. The 1444‐nm neodymium:yttrium–aluminum–garnet ( N d: YAG ) laser been expected be more effective and safe for lipolysis, due higher affinity water, than 1064‐nm 1320‐nm wavelengths. purpose this study was evaluate through vivo guinea pig models. used irradiate shaved dorsal pigs compared with controls (no power, only tunneling). Immediately, 1 week, month 3 months after...

Recently, the number of cases animal bite wounds has increased significantly in concordance with an increase pet population around world. The authors report two rare osteomyelitis phalanx following cat and dog bites. On initial physical examination, signs a severe infection were observed. Radiographs both patients showed presence osteomyelitis, one patients, diagnosis was confirmed bone biopsy. After use empirical antibiotics, intravenous antibiotic therapy that matched identified...

Background Capsular contracture is the most common complication after breast augmentation using implants. In case of severe capsular contracture, surgical correction inevitable. We introduce a treatment for with serial fat grafting before Methods cases we removed implants and performed partial capsulectomy. harvested from flanks or thighs liposuction. The first graft was in subdermal, subcutaneous, subglandular layers breast. frozen stored. One month implant removal graft, second performed....

Background: There is increasing interest in mouth corner lift (MCL), as well lip augmentation. Procedures for lifting to create smiling lips include botulinum toxin, injectable filler, and surgery. However, there no proper system classify corners, thereby causing difficulties patient counseling, treatment planning, communicating with medical staff. We developed a new classification analyze the shape of corners Asian women. Methods: Lip shapes were classified types I (arched upper lip) II...

Background To fight the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many countries have implemented social distancing and lockdowns. We investigated changes in trauma patterns of emergency plastic surgeries midst a pandemic. Methods A retrospective review medical records all patients treated for was performed at our hospital Seoul. conducted analysis between March 1 June 30, 2020, compared data obtained with that same period 2019. also according to level from July 2020 February 2021....

Osteomas are benign, slow-growing bone tumors that can be classified as central, peripheral, or extraskeletal. Central osteomas arise from the endosteum, peripheral periosteum, and extraskeletal within muscle. Frontal mainly encountered in plastic surgery. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed clinical data of patients with frontal osteomas.We reviewed medical records who visited our hospital between January 2014 June 2022. We following variables: age, sex, tumor type (sessile...

Corner mouth lift is in increasing demand among young patients East Asia. Although various surgical methods exist for corner lift, many are reluctant to undergo surgery due fears of postsurgical scarring. We present a new technique aimed at reducing postoperative The involves triangular excision the and incision commissure with transposition lateral vermilion flap mouth. muscle around dissected release tension. was successfully performed all patients. It can be effectively used even...
