INTRODUCTION Used routinely in maxillofacial reconstructive surgery, the chondrocostal graft is also used in hand surgery. The purpose of this overview was to analyze at long follow-up the radiological and histological evolution of this autograft, in the hand and wrist surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Since 1992, 144 patients have benefitted from a chondrocostal autograft: 116 osteoarthritis of...

Apert syndrome is a congenital syndrome characterized by craniosynostosis and craniofacial dysostosis, among other features, and is reported to cause obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) because of upper airway narrowing associated with midfacial dysplasia. We recently encountered a case involving a patient with Apert syndrome complicated by OSA who began to receive continuous positive airway pressure...

OBJECTIVES Submental intubation has been advocated as an alternative to classical tracheostomy for certain indicated panfacial trauma surgeries. Surgeons should have various options for airway management in maxillofacial trauma patients. Most maxillofacial injuries involve occlusal derangements, which might require intraoperative occlusal corrections; hence, orotracheal intubation is not ideal....

: This article provides an updated review of oral and maxillofacial endoscopic surgical applications in craniomaxillofacial trauma management, orthognathic surgery, sialoendoscopy, open temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthrotomy procedures, minimally invasive arthroscopic TMJ surgery. The integration endoscopy into procedures has yielded a seminal impact on achieving comparable or improved patien...

Maxillomandibular ablation and reconstruction includes a series of procedures that can be disfiguring emotionally traumatic for patient while treating maxillofacial disease. Often times, the process regaining full form function may take months to years patient. With advent modern day technology virtual surgical planning, some patients benefit from single operation disease ablation, microvascula...

Intraoperative computer-assisted navigation has gained acceptance in maxillofacial surgery with applications in an increasing number of indications. We adapted a commercially available wireless passive marker system which allows calibration and tracking of virtually every instrument in maxillofacial surgery. Virtual computer-generated anatomical structures are displayed intraoperatively in a se...
