Background: Use of intraoperative computer-assisted navigation (iCAN) has been well-established in otolaryngology and neurosurgery; however, its use in surgical management of facial fractures is yet to be reported on a large scale. This study aimed to review the existing literature to determine the outcomes, limitations, risks, and benefits of iCAN use in facial fracture management.
Methods: A systematic review of iCAN use in craniomaxillofacial fracture surgery was performed by 2 authors in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
Purpose: The use of acellular dermal matrix changed the breast reconstruction algorithm facilitating implant coverage and direct to implant technique. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the ADM surgical complications, breast aesthetics, and patient satisfaction.
Methods: In a tertiary hospital, patients that underwent implant-based breast reconstructions during a three-year period had their charts retrospectively reviewed, received post-operative BreastQ, and had their post-operative photos evaluated by a three-member panel using a multi-parameter breast specific scale (scored 1-5).
Background: Photography standardization is paramount for appropriate critical analysis of aesthetic surgery outcomes. Therefore, the authors designed a study to evaluate the influence of different variables in photos of patients with indications for undergoing facial rejuvenation.
Methods: This blinded prospective study was conducted by the Section of Plastic Surgery in the Hospital das Clínicas at the Federal University of Paraná.
