The fractures of the orbital floor are common after craniofacial trauma. Repair with resorbable plates is a viable reconstructive option; however, there are few reports in the literature. This study describes our experience using copolymer polylactic and polyglycolic acid (PLLA/PGA) orbital reconstruction plates (LactoSorb, Lorenz Surgical, Jacksonville, FL) in 29 cases of the orbital floor fra...

Modern techniques of fracture management allow easy access to the whole craniofacial skeleton, accurate fracture reduction, internal fixation with mini and microplating systems and primary bone grafting where necessary to replace missing bone. The goal of primary treatment is to restore normal anatomy and therefore normal form and function of the craniofacial complex. However, patients may pres...

Sharing the airway is a major concern for both anaesthetist and surgeon because the security of the airway may be jeopardized and the tracheal tube might impede the surgical field. This is seen typically in maxillofacial and ENTsurgeries. Nasal intubation is widely exercised by anaesthetists in maxillofacial surgery but difficulties arise with panfacial fractures when an unobstructed surgical f...

Two patients, aged 18 and 28 years, with maxillofacial trauma due to motor vehicle accident, were operated upon by a team of plastic surgeons. In this report we aimed to present our experience with submental intubation procedure in these cases, in which orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation was impossible due to panfacial fracture.
