Abstract
Electromechanical Reshaping (EMR) has emerged as a novel modality to reshape the cartilage of face and neck in a minimally invasive manner. This scoping review focusses on assessing the efficacy and potential of EMR in clinical utility. Studies were collected and analyzed by two authors. PubMed, Scopus, and Springer were searched for databases from January 2000 to April 2024. Studies encompassing peer-reviewed original research articles on EMR in cartilage tissues, experimented in-vivo or ex-vivo were included. The data examined were mechanism of action, dosimetry, safety parameters, physical and chemical parameters, and electrode geometry. After screening 235 articles by de-duplication and by following inclusion and exclusion criteria, 27 articles were included in the review. The full-text articles were completely analyzed, the articles emphasized EMR in cartilage in-vivo or ex-vivo animal models. It was evident that EMR has less interference with tissue injury and has the potential to reshape the cartilage non-invasively when compared to other reshaping methods. Further studies are required for clinical validation and compatibility. EMR presents potential as a minimally invasive cartilage reshaping technique with favorable efficacy and safety profiles but requires optimization in dosimetry, electrode geometry and other parameters. Extensive clinical studies involving human subjects are essential for long-term validation and clinical readiness.
期刊介绍：
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery was founded as Indian Journal of Otolaryngology in 1949 as a scientific Journal published by the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and was later rechristened as IJOHNS to incorporate the changes and progress.
IJOHNS, undoubtedly one of the oldest Journals in India, is the official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and is about to publish it is 67th Volume in 2015. The Journal published quarterly accepts articles in general Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and various subspecialities such as Otology, Rhinology, Laryngology and Phonosurgery, Neurotology, Head and Neck Surgery etc.
The Journal acts as a window to showcase and project the clinical and research work done by Otolaryngologists community in India and around the world. It is a continued source of useful clinical information with peer review by eminent Otolaryngologists of repute in their respective fields. The Journal accepts articles pertaining to clinical reports, Clinical studies, Research articles in basic and applied Otolaryngology, short Communications, Clinical records reporting unusual presentations or lesions and new surgical techniques. The journal acts as a catalyst and mirrors the Indian Otolaryngologist’s active interests and pursuits. The Journal also invites articles from senior and experienced authors on interesting topics in Otolaryngology and allied sciences from all over the world.
The print version is distributed free to about 4000 members of Association of Otolaryngologists of India and the e-Journal shortly going to make its appearance on the Springer Board can be accessed by all the members.
Association of Otolaryngologists of India and M/s Springer India group have come together to co-publish IJOHNS from January 2007 and this bondage is going to provide an impetus to the Journal in terms of international presence and global exposure.
