Anatomical Variation of Absent Facial Vein: Implications for Facial Reanimation Surgery

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The facial vein is the standard recipient vessel in facial reanimation surgery. Its complete absence is rarely described but may cause major challenges during free functional muscle transfer (FFMT). This study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of facial vein absence and assess its surgical relevance in facial ...

Performance of a Deep Learning Algorithm for Melanoma Classification Across Diverse Dermoscopic and Tele‐Dermatology Datasets

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Early detection of melanoma significantly boosts patient survival rates. Deep learning has demonstrated dermatologist‐level accuracy in assessing pigmented skin lesions by analysing images at the pixel level. However, these neural networks may face challenges with ‘real‐life’ images due to limited training data and image artefacts ...

Smile Asymmetry and Eyelid Closure Following Temporalis Muscle Transfer for Facial Reanimation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This systematic review and meta‐analysis of 53 studies and 1354 patients evaluates the outcomes of temporalis muscle transfer in facial nerve paralysis. Our results show that temporalis muscle transfer can restore smile asymmetry, oral commissure movement, and eyelid closure—findings that are translated to clinician‐rated assessments.

A Randomized Single‐Center Proof of Principle Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of a Hydrogel Laser Treatment Patch in Laser Hair Removal

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Laser hair removal (LHR) is a commonly performed aesthetic procedure known to generate a hazardous laser plume composed of toxic chemicals, ultrafine particles, and potentially infectious biological materials. Current mitigation strategies, such as smoke evacuation systems, are costly and often used inconsistently, highlighting the ...
