Introduction: Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography for the intraoperative evaluation of tissue perfusion is commonly used in implant-based breast reconstruction (IBR). The assessment of ICG images depends on the surgeon's interpretation and is qualitative or semiqualitative in nature. To quantify ICG metrics, this study aimed to apply a novel assessment of fill-rate dynamics to predict wound-healing complications and provide pragmatic assessment tools in IBR.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: This study analyzed all reported cases of painful traumatic neuromas to better understand their anatomic distribution, etiologies, and surgical treatment.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science were searched in October 2023 for articles describing painful traumatic neuromas.
Results: In total, 414 articles reporting 5,562 neuromas were included and categorized into head/neck, trunk, upper extremity, lower extremity, and autonomic nerves.
Background: A firming and toning cosmetic body lotion (FTB) was developed to target key pathways relevant to body skin health and rejuvenation that may complement the improvements observed after noninvasive body contouring (NIBC). A pilot study explored the efficacy and tolerability of FTB as an adjunct to cryolipolysis.
Methods: An open-label, single-site, single-arm, 12-week study enrolled subjects aged 20 to 65 who had pre-elected to receive 1 or more cryolipolysis treatments (CoolSculpting® or CoolSculpting® Elite; Zeltiq Aesthetics, Inc.
Article Synopsis
- Facelift procedures, specifically the SMAS facelift technique, are popular for facial rejuvenation, but the best approach remains uncertain as this review studied various techniques and outcomes.
- A thorough search yielded 27 studies involving over 6,000 patients, revealing that more than 85% were satisfied with their results, though complication rates differed by technique, with the SMAS flap having the highest at 5.75% and the composite SMAS showing the lowest at 0.05%.
- The review emphasizes the need for more research to accurately assess the best SMAS facelift technique that balances aesthetic results with minimal complications, as some studies may not have reported all adverse events.
