Aesthetic Enhancement of Dorsocervical Fat Pad Treatment with Hydrosurgery: Computed Tomography Analysis-Assisted Hydrosurgery System.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe dorsocervical fat pad, commonly known as a "buffalo hump" or "wealthy hump," presents aesthetic challenges. Although various surgical techniques have been used to treat the dorsocervical fat pad, there remains a need for more effective and efficient treatment strategies. Furthermore, a comprehensive imaging analysis method for the dorsocervical fat pad is still lacking.
objectivesWe investigated the efficacy of hydrosurgery system in treating the dorsocervical fat pads, aiming to inform the development of future clinical approaches and enhance patient outcomes.
methodsThis study utilized computed tomography (CT) scans to identify the dorsocervical fat pad prior to surgery and analyze cases based on the CT values. All patients underwent CT analysis and hydrosurgery system guided by the CT analysis. Patients' satisfaction was measured by a 5-point Likert scale.
resultsA comprehensive imaging analysis system for the dorsocervical fat pad, utilizing CT scans, has been established. Six months follow up, the hydrosurgery scalpel treatment of the dorsocervical fat pad showed a good curative effect; 38.7% of the patients agreed that their aesthetic appearance had improved after surgery, while 61.3% strongly agreed with this sentiment. Absence of infection, hematoma, or revision was documented. The average operating duration for hydrosurgery of dorsocervical fat pad was 104.7 ± 28.51 min. The average intraoperative blood loss was 76.61 ± 28.05 ml.
conclusionThe comprehensive analysis system of CT imaging of the dorsocervical fat pad was initially established. This study demonstrated the efficacy of hydrosurgery system in the treatment of the dorsocervical fat pad. CT analysis-assisted hydrosurgery is an innovative, promising, and potentially effective method for the treatment of the dorsocervical fat pad.
