Article Abstract
Background: Surgical resection of malignant lip tumors and the reconstruction of extensive lip defects in infants pose significant challenges. We evaluated the effectiveness of the Abbe-Estlander (A-E) flap in repairing upper lip defects in infants following oncosurgery.
Case Presentation: We present two cases of pediatric upper lip malignancies: an 18-month-old infant diagnosed with fibrosarcoma (FS) of the right upper lip (Case 1) and a 19-month-old infant diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the left upper lip (Case 2). Both patients underwent surgical resection of the tumors followed by reconstruction of large upper lip defects using the A-E flap under general anesthesia via nasotracheal intubation. No complications were reported during the procedures. Postoperatively, neither patient received adjuvant chemotherapy. Both patients demonstrated acceptable aesthetic outcomes. Case 1 could use a straw, whereas Case 2 could breastfeed. At the 32- and 18-month follow-up, no recurrences were observed.
Conclusion: Surgical resection, followed by reconstruction with an A-E flap, is an effective and safe treatment for these tumors in infants. In addition, general anesthesia via nasotracheal intubation is a reliable anesthetic technique for these procedures.

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) reshapes masculine facial attributes to align with feminine norms, yet normative anthropometric data for Asian populations remain sparse. We therefore quantified sex-related 3-dimensional (3D) facial metrics in healthy Asian adults to delineate dimorphic benchmarks for surgical planning. We prospectively recruited 40 healthy Asian adults (20 males, 20 females; age 18 to 45 years, mean 28.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate, through cheiloscopic analysis, the impact of hyaluronic acid (HA) lip augmentation on lip impressions. Eleven patients underwent HA injections and had their lips analyzed for thickness, morphological classification, commissure position, and lip impression types at three time points: before treatment (T1), one month after (T2), and three months after (T3). Lip thickness was measured using a digital caliper, and commissure position was classified based on standardized digital photographs.

BACKGROUND Pregnancy-related anatomical and physiological changes, such as mucosal edema and increased oxygen demand, heighten risk of difficult airway, especially under general anesthesia. This study compared effects of spinal and general anesthesia on postoperative airway assessment tests in cesarean deliveries. We hypothesized upper airway changes can occur depending on anesthesia technique.

Introduction: Workplace-related traumatic lip injuries, particularly at the vermilion-cutaneous junction, are challenging due to functional impairment and visible scarring. While typically managed in specialized settings, some cases present in primary care clinics. This report details the successful management of a penetrating laceration at this junction using layered closure and MEBO for optimized healing, with postoperative scar massage therapy to enhance recovery.
