Latest AI and machine learning research in plastic surgery for healthcare professionals.
Ultrasound (US)-guided microwave ablation (MWA) has emerged as a promising minimally invasive therapy for both benign and malignant breast tumors. This review comprehensively examines the current clinical status, technical principles, and therapeutic outcomes of US-guided MWA in breast tumor management. We discuss the biophysical mechanisms of MWA, its advantages over other ablation techniques-suc...
The authors illustrate a unique case of total nasal reconstruction that successfully combined historical reconstructive techniques with modern microsurgery, supported by artificial intelligence-assisted operative planning. The patient presented with multiple failed nasal reconstructions, previously performed at different surgical units, aimed to correct congenital nasal dysplasia due to Binder syn...
BACKGROUND: Rhinoplasty is a complex operation that warrants careful consideration of both functional and aesthetic principles. Despite its prevalence...
Minimally invasive and robotic cardiac surgery have been developed to reduce surgical trauma, shorten recovery, and improve cosmetic and functional ou...
The global demand for cosmetic procedures is accelerating, with over 1.6 million aesthetic surgical procedures performed in the US in 2023. Concurrent...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into plastic and reconstructive surgery. It supports preoperative prediction and imaging analy...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs), has demonstrated potential to improve patient communication by de...
Reconstruction of facial defects requires highly accurate techniques that utilize modern effective technologies. 3D printing has revolutionized the fi...
Reconstructive surgery is fundamentally dedicated to restoring tissues and organs damaged by trauma, disease, or congenital anomalies, with the goal o...
Sensory analysis is a cornerstone of cosmetic development, yet remains underrepresented in peer-reviewed literature due to its frequent confinement to...
BACKGROUND: Dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) is increasingly being utilized for perforator selection and perfusion assessment in reconstructive mi...
Navigation-assisted surgical systems in oral and maxillofacial surgery have evolved considerably over the past 5 years, with newer modifications aimed...
INTRODUCTION: Autologous costal cartilage calcification (CCC) can impact the course and long-term results of rhinoplasty. Preoperative information abo...
BACKGROUND: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer, requiring an early diagnosis and accurate margin definition to prevent function...
BACKGROUND: Bee pollen is a bioactive substance valued for its nutritional and health-promoting properties. However, consistent quality control and cl...
Methanol contamination in ethanol-based products poses a significant health risk due to its toxicity at low concentrations. This study developed a rap...
OBJECTIVES: Despite the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, imaging, and dermatology, to date, there is no information on the use...
BACKGROUND: Ideal tip projection and rotation in rhinoplasty often requires placement of caudal septal extension grafts (CSEGs). Although CSEGs are ub...
We present adaptive, strain-engineered photodetectors based on 2D semiconductors. Our devices present a footprint of only about 40 × 20 μm, and they a...
