Virtual Surgical Planning for Mandibular Distraction in Infants with Robin Sequence
نویسنده
چکیده
Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) successfully relieves obstructive sleep apnea in many infants with Robin sequence. Preoperative virtual surgical planning and fabrication of three-dimensionally printed cutting guides may lead to further improvements in the MDO technique and decrease the risk for damage to adjacent structures such as developing teeth and the inferior alveolar nerve. This report presents an algorithm for virtual surgical planning and three-dimensionally printing of cutting guides for MDO in infants with RS.

Mandibular distraction osteogenesis in Pierre Robin sequence: application of a new internal single-stage resorbable device.
Pierre Robin sequence may result in physiologically significant obstructive apnea in the neonatal and infant period. This may be life threatening and is most often treated by tracheostomy. To avoid tracheostomy or allow for early decannulation in severely affected infants and children, the authors have developed a new class of neonatal and infant mandibular bone distraction devices. These devic...

Mandibular advancement using mandibular distracti...
متن کاملMandibular distraction osteogenesis for neonates with Pierre Robin sequence and airway obstruction.
Neonates with Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) usually present with varying degrees of upper airway obstruction and difficulty feeding. Early treatment is important for such children in order to prevent impaired cognitive development resulting from hypoxemic episodes. Various procedures aimed at widening the pharyngeal space have been proposed, including prone position, tongue-lip adhesion, mandibul...
