INTRODUCTION The technique most commonly used for penile lengthening is the release of the suspensory ligament in combination with an inverted V-Y skin plasty. This technique has drawbacks such as the possibility of reattachment of the penis to the pubis, a hump that forms at the base of the penis, in addition to alteration in the angle of erection. AIM In this work, we describe a new techniq...

Abstract State-of-the-art tissue analogues used in high-fidelity, hands-on medical simulation modules can deliver lifelike appearance and feel but lack the capability to provide quantified, real-time assessment of practitioner performance. The monolithic fabrication hybrid printed/textile piezoresistive strain sensors a realistic Y/V plasty suture training pad is demonstrated. A class 3D-printa...

We report two cases of cleidocranial dysplasia, which was managed without significant craniofacial osteotomy. A mother and daughter, both of normal intelligence, presented with central forehead depression, mid-face hypoplasia, and blepharoptosis. The fact that they have an identically deformed face implied a genetic basis. In both patients, radiologic evaluation revealed the underdeveloped maxi...

Case Self-penile amputation, especially at the glans, has rarely been reported. Most reported cases of self-amputation were performed at the proximal or peripubic area, and there only one case of self-amputation at the glans has been reported in Japan. We report two cases of self-penile amputation at the glans. Case 1: A 31-year-old man with no psychiatric disease completely amputated his penis...

Dear Sir, Cheek rotation flaps1-3 are used to reconstruct lower eyelids. After rotating the flap, the suture line on the cheek is not aligned with a relaxed skin tension line, and postoperative scars that intersect the margin of the lower eyelid at angles close to 90 ̊ may cause downward contractures of the lower eyelid. We describe herein 2 cases in which we avoided this problem by using w-plas...

Objective Many facial plastic surgery procedures can be performed in an office-based setting, ranging from simple chemical peels to reconstructive surgeries assist with scar revision. The aim of this review is summarize the current state plastics in-office surgical procedures, including revision, dermabrasion, lasers, and peels. Methods A literature was conducted PubMed search engine following ...
