Identifying VTE risk factors is crucial for appropriate VTE prophylaxis measurements to lower this complication following ABR.Methods: Using American College of Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Project database, we examined the clinical data of patients who underwent ABR from 2016-2020 in the US. The frequency of VTE, day of occurrences and risk factors associated with VTE were evaluated.Results: Overall, 11,847 patients underwent ABR in the study period. The overall VTE rate was 1.0%. Totally 117 patients experienced VTE with a total occurrence of 127. Postoperative day 1 and 2 were reported with the highest frequency of VTE (21/127). Using multivariate regression analysis, independent risk factors associated with a higher VTE rate were length of hospital stay>=5 d [adjusted odd's ratio (AOR), 3.29], operative time longer than 10 h (AOR,2.17), and immediate reconstruction (AOR,1.51). Although free flap breast reconstruction was associate with a higher VTE rate compared with pedicled flap reconstruction (1.2% vs. 0.8%); however, multivariate regressing analysis did not show this factor as an independent VTE risk factor.Conclusion: Being proactive to make the patients ready to discharge by POD-4 and having strategy to shorten the length of operation could help to lower the rate of VTE in ABR. Plastic surgeons should consider these factors and use appropriate prophylactic measures to minimize the risk of VTE development.","PeriodicalId":23736,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Plastic Surgery","volume":"15 1","pages":"62-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13336332/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148438267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the most commonly used minimally invasive techniques are neuromuscular blocking agents and injectable fillers. The scope of minimally invasive procedures encompasses a broad range of modalities, including nutritional and hormonal interventions, light- and laser-based therapies, minimal-incision surgeries, as well as botulinum toxin and dermal filler injections. This study specifically focuses on injectable techniques for facial rejuvenation. Botulinum toxin type A has demonstrated efficacy in softening hyper functional lines in both the upper and lower face, with notable improvements observed in areas such as the glabella, forehead, periorbital region, lips, and platysma muscle. More recently, hyaluronic acid and other injectable fillers have gained widespread use. These temporary fillers effectively diminish wrinkles and creases, enhance deep nasolabial folds, augment thin lips, and correct volume loss in periorbital hollows and other facial depressions or contour irregularities. A major paradigm shift has occurred in facial rejuvenation, with injectable, minimally invasive methods now offering solutions for age-related and acquired deformities of the head and neck-providing temporary yet effective corrections that were historically managed through more invasive surgical approaches.","PeriodicalId":23736,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Plastic Surgery","volume":"15 1","pages":"3-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13336338/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148438278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to evaluate the association between PMT and the dimensions of the anterior ethmoid roof using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging.Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on 249 CBCT scans obtained at a maxillofacial radiology center. All images were acquired using a NewTom VGi scanner (QRsrl, Verona, Italy) with a 15 × 15 cm field of view and 1-mm slice thickness. Measurements were taken from coronal sections displaying the infraorbital nerve canal. Key anatomical points, including the medial and lateral ethmoid roof points (MERP and LERP) and the cribriform plate (CP), were identified. The width and height of these structures were measured. PMT was classified as lamellar, bulbous, or extensive. Statistical analyses included chi-square, t-test, and Pearson correlation tests.Results: A significant relationship was found between the axial dimensions of PMT and the anterior ethmoid roof width (AER) in both genders (P<0.05). Differences in ethmoid roof dimensions were statistically significant between PMT types. In males, vertical PMT dimensions were correlated with CP and AER height. AER width was greater in males than females, particularly in cases with PMT.Conclusion: A close anatomical relationship exists between PMT and ethmoid roof dimensions, especially AER width. Recognition of these variations is essential for surgical planning and avoiding complications in sinus and skull base surgery.","PeriodicalId":23736,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Plastic Surgery","volume":"15 1","pages":"37-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13336334/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148438246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case report presents a 16-month-old male with AFO in the anterior mandible, representing one of the youngest documented cases. The patient presented with progressive facial swelling first noted at 10 months of age. Clinical examination revealed facial asymmetry with non-tender buccal expansion, while CT imaging demonstrated a well-defined 23×28mm lytic lesion with internal calcifications in the right parasymphyseal region. Treatment consisted of conservative surgical enucleation and curettage under general anesthesia, with extraction of involved teeth. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of AFO, showing islands of ameloblastic epithelium within mesenchymal stroma and evidence of dentin and cementum formation. A literature review of AFO cases in children under 5 years (2014-2024) yielded eight cases with equal gender distribution and no clear predilection for maxilla versus mandible. All reported cases showed lesional expansion, and most were treated with enucleation and curettage with no recurrence noted during follow-up periods. The patient recovered uneventfully with resolution of facial asymmetry and showed no signs of recurrence at six-month follow-up. This case highlights that AFO could manifest at an exceptionally young age, expanding the recognized age range and underscoring the effectiveness of conservative surgical management for this rare odontogenic tumor.","PeriodicalId":23736,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Plastic Surgery","volume":"15 1","pages":"17-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13336336/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148438211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
