Findings from this cadaver study provide information relevant to the operative localization of potential compression points along the auriculotemporal nerve.

This anatomical study traced the lesser occipital nerve as it courses through the posterior scalp and mapped its potential decompression sites.

This study identifies the medications and herbal products that should be considered when a patient undergoes blepharoplasty and complains of symptoms associated with dryness of the eyes.

Background: Revision rhinoplasty is undoubtedly one of the most challenging procedures in facial plastic surgery. The complexity is compounded when there is a paucity of native septal cartilage to perform the required framework reconstruction. Harvest of autologous costal cartilage can result in increased operative times and possible secondary-site complications such as contour irregularity, poor scarring, and even pneumothorax. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of the senior author’s (R.J.R.) patients from 2011 to 2020 who underwent primary or revision rhinoplasty. Inclusion criteria consisted of patients with fresh frozen off-the-shelf cartilage used in revision rhinoplasty only with a minimum of 6 months’ follow-up. Outcomes for evaluation were warping, resorption, displacement, and infection. Results: The authors identified 226 patients who underwent open rhinoplasty with the use of fresh frozen rib cartilage grafts and met inclusion criteria. The mean follow-up period was 12.18 months (range, 6 months to 8 years). The majority of patients had undergone one prior rhinoplasty procedure (54 percent); however, 4 percent of patients had undergone four or more prior procedures on their nose. The overall infection rate was 2.7 percent (n = 6), with the majority successfully managed with antibiotics alone (2.3 percent). Conclusions: The results in revision rhinoplasty are significantly enhanced with the creation of a stable nasal framework using off-the-shelf, easily accessible, specifically tailored fresh frozen cadaveric rib grafts. The long-term outcomes and complication rate in this 9-year retrospective study demonstrates the safety of fresh frozen rib graft in comparison to autologous or irradiated rib graft. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, IV.

This is the first prospective study examining the FNR of fluorescence-assisted SLNB for patients with cutaneous melanoma. Our study reveals that this technique has one of the lowest FNRs published, especially considering the large percentage of participants with head/neck melanoma involved.

All cohorts, regardless of their frequency of migraine headache, achieved significant improvement in frequency, duration, severity, and Migraine Headache Index. The groups also achieved statistically different final outcomes, but no group benefits more than the other when improvement is quantified, and patients can expect similar relative improvement.
