Article Synopsis
- * A case of a 24-year-old male post-motorcycle accident showed persistent eye and facial issues, which were addressed through a second surgery guided by a 3D-printed model for facial reconstruction.
- * The use of 3D printing in facial surgery enables precise planning and design, improving outcomes and aiding in the reconstruction process with materials like rib cartilage.
Background: The use of three-dimensional (3D) technology helps surgeons in performing autologous microtia reconstruction due to more accurate measurements and a better precision template model. However, the technical aspects of using a 3D imaging and 3D-printed model and the difference in outcomes postoperatively remain poorly reviewed.
Purpose: This systematic review aimed to provide the current evidence of the benefit and technical aspects of using 3D technology in autologous microtia reconstruction.
Purpose: The association between microtia severity and hearing function has been thoroughly investigated. This study examined the relationship between microtia grade, number of ear subunits (i.e.

Finding solutions to overcome face seal leaks is crucial; one of which is by sealing the N-95 respirator. The seal used in this research was Tegaderm® a transparent film dressing or a plastic tape which is known to have the advantages of strong adhesion, high level of pore density and standardized medical grade.

Nasal obstruction was evaluated using the nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (NOSE) and peak nasal inspiratory flowmeter (PNIF) score. We explored the correlation between tip projection, ROE, NOSE, and PNIF scores.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using retrospective data of patients with microtia following reconstructive surgery using the Nagata technique. Data were obtained from the medical records of patients who underwent reconstructive surgery at the Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Dr.
Article Synopsis
- Hearing improvement is a key goal of reconstructive surgery for patients with microtia and aural atresia, particularly those with severe microtia.
- The study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of cartilage conduction hearing aids (CCHA) for patients who did not see significant hearing improvements after traditional surgical methods.
- Results showed significant improvements in hearing function, with an average gain of about 27 dB, high parental satisfaction, and enhanced daily communication for children using CCHA.
Introduction: The ZMC has a prominent shape compared to other parts in the midfacial region, thus small injuries will generate fractures in the ZMC. The management of ZMC fracture depends on the fracture deformity and the surgeon's considerations. Various studies have revealed the success of ZMC reconstruction with one fixation point to 4 fixation points fitting to the tetrapod shape.

- A study was conducted to compare the Eustachian tube ventilation function between children with cleft palates and healthy children using a test called sonotubometry.
- The results showed that children with cleft palates had significantly lower Eustachian tube function than their healthy counterparts, along with a higher occurrence of Eustachian tube dysfunction.
- Key factors contributing to this dysfunction included adenoid hypertrophy, the number of Eustachian tube openings, and severity classified by the Veau classification.
Background: Studies had shown the benefit of PRFM and PRP in wound healing but their use in skin graft healing was rarely studied. This study aims to compare the use of PRP and PRFM in accelerating wound healing process of skin full-thickness skin graft (FTSG).
Materials And Methods: Five pigs were used to look at the wound healing effect of PRP and PRFM usage prior to FTSG implantation.
Autologous growth factor (AGF) is a cytokine that has gained medical research interest because it helps improve and accelerate the wound healing process. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is the latest generation of platelet concentrate that can be obtained through a simple procedure known as AGF referencing. One of the most common complications of total laryngectomy (TL) is pharyngocutaneous fistula.
