Summary: The study reported several technical adaptations of a new FOA technique that help prepare for the use of the single-segment neo-bandeau FOA technique in younger patients. In this small sample, the single-segment neo-bandeau FOA demonstrated volumetric expansion similar to conventional techniques and was found to be feasible in infants under 1 year of age.

Summary: This work describes two techniques for remodelling the neoforehead used by the Oxford Craniofacial Unit since 1995: lateral remodelling and a central S-Osteotomy. Both methods adopt bone from the vertex as a neoforehead but differ in their techniques to adapt its shape to that of the newly remodelled orbital bandeau. The novel S-Osteotomy technique can be successfully applied to all FOAR procedures.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the types and prevalence of ophthalmic abnormalities in patients with craniosynostosis. The results showed that strabismus and astigmatism were the most common anomalies in different types of craniosynostosis. Syndromic craniosynostosis also had a higher proportion of decreased visual acuity.

Summary: Bone tissue engineering has potential for regenerating craniomaxillofacial bones, and 3D printing is a suitable method for creating personalized implants. However, the current clinical implementation of tissue engineering concepts in this field is poor, mainly due to the complexity of the anatomy and biology in the craniomaxillofacial region, as well as the limited relevance of preclinical animal models. There is a lack of appropriate guidelines and standards to address specific craniomaxillofacial pathologies and test the efficacy of biomaterials or tissue engineered constructs. Therefore, it is important to consider critical research aspects in order to develop clinically driven tissue engineered materials for craniomaxillofacial reconstruction.

Summary: Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a promising cancer therapy that uses ultrasound to trigger a sonosensitizer to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) with excellent tissue penetration depth. However, the spread of the sonosensitizer to healthy tissue beyond the tumor can cause undesired side effects. In this study, a GSH-activatable sonosensitizer prodrug is designed by attaching a quencher to tetraphydroxy porphyrin, which shows high tumor selectivity and activation in the presence of overexpressed GSH. The prodrug demonstrates effective tumor growth inhibition under ultrasound irradiation, highlighting its potential as a highly effective cancer treatment.

Summary: We have developed an MRI-safe needle guidance toolkit that allows accurate positioning for needle-based procedures. The toolkit uses a flexible silicone 2D grid and matches the grid on MRI planning images with a physical silicon grid on the patient's skin. It provides an easy-to-use guide for radiologists, showing the needle entry point and angle on the silicon grid. This toolkit can be used for various needle-based and percutaneous procedures.

Summary: This study aims to measure the percentage, rates, and patterns of postoperative bone reformation after CVR in non-syndromic sagittal craniosynostosis. Volumetric bone measurements were performed using 3D analysis software. The results showed that a linear plateau model best predicted the patterns of bone reformation. This study provides valuable insights for predicting and improving postoperative care in sagittal craniosynostosis management.

Summary: In the surgical treatment of metopic synostosis, the use of resorbable materials for fixation is common practice. This study aimed to investigate whether there are limitations to the endocortical positioning of resorbable plates. The results showed that the risk level of using endocortical resorbable plates positioned on the inner surface of the bone is low, and there were no detected disadvantages from an aesthetic point of view.

Summary: Pathological psychologies such as anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) are common in female patients scheduled to undergo rhinoplasty. BDD is more likely to be associated with depression. Rhinoplasty has little psychological impact on patients, but female patients with BDD are more likely to be dissatisfied with the surgery.

Summary: This study analyzed complications following cosmetic surgeries managed by plastic surgery services at Heatherwood and Wexham Park hospitals in 2022, including procedures performed internationally. The majority of complications were related to breast cosmetic surgery and abdominoplasties, with the most common complications being wound dehiscence, post-operative infection, and seromas. Turkey was the most popular country selected for surgery, and there is a need to increase public awareness of the risks involved in seeking international options and how to choose suitable clinics.

Summary: The study aims to compare the oncologic, medical, and surgical outcomes of lumpectomy and oncoplastic breast reduction surgery (OBRS) on a national scale. A database was used to analyze patient data and match them based on various factors. The results showed that lumpectomy patients had higher rates of repeat lumpectomy or subsequent mastectomy, while OBRS patients had higher rates of surgical complications but fewer medical complications. Logistic regression analysis revealed that OBRS was associated with a decreased likelihood of repeat lumpectomy. Although OBRS was associated with increased wound complications, medical complications were found to occur less frequently.
