Nasal reconstruction is considered the historic foundation of facial plastic surgery, and forehead flap remains workhorse repair. To recreate both aesthetic contour function nose, all anatomic layers must be addressed-covering, lining, structural support. This article reviews noteworthy history underlying development paramedian as primary tool in large nasal defects while highlighting its implications on modern Current developments use 2-staged are examined a technique presented.
Traumatic dental injuries affect 1 to 3% of the population, and disproportionately children adolescents. The management these incorporates age patients, as between 6 13 years have a mixed dentition. This helps preserve vitality teeth that may be salvaged after traumatic event. clinical examination cases involves thorough maxilla mandible for associated fractures any lodged debris dislodged or tooth fragments. objective is rule out accidental aspiration displacement into nose, sinuses, soft...
Craniomaxillofacial gunshot injuries, resulting from assault, suicide attempts, and accidental trauma, represent a major public health dilemma in the United States. Due to extent of injury osseous soft tissue loss, facial wounds pose unique challenge reconstructive surgeon. Initial management should use advanced trauma life support principles with goal patient stabilization. Acute operative center around wound decontamination, debridement, temporary closure. Historically, definitive surgical...
Abstract The evaluation and management of a patient with panfacial fractures are multifaceted. Herein, we describe basic facial skeletal anatomy, considerations for airway securing, common concurrent injuries. Finally, discuss primary secondary reconstructions trauma including sequencing repair, available landmarks, the utility intraoperative computed tomography imaging virtual surgical planning custom implants.
With positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) now commonplace as a diagnostic tool, new questions have arisen regarding the utility and cost-effectiveness of panendoscopy. In this retrospective review large cohort head neck squamous cell carcinoma unknown primary (HNSCC-UP), we describe enduring panendoscopy in detection site mucosal disease even when PET/CT is negative.
Abstract Internal rigid fixation is the gold-standard treatment for facial fractures, but there are some specific cases that more amenable to external (ex-fix) application. Herein, we discuss advantages and disadvantages ex-fix in modern of comminuted mandible infected fractures condylar region, oncologic mandibular resection, pediatric edentulous patient.
Objectives/Hypothesis Microvascular free tissue transfer is often employed to reconstruct significant facial defects from ballistic injuries. Herein, we present our comparison of complications between self‐inflicted and non–self‐inflicted gunshot wounds after microvascular transfer. Study Design Retrospective case review. Methods Approval was obtained the JPS institutional review board. We performed a retrospective cases injuries October 1997 September 2017 that underwent vascularized for...
Abstract Mandible fractures represent a common sequela of craniomaxillofacial trauma encountered by reconstructive surgeons. Management complex mandibular fractures, and reestablishment the occlusal relationship, represents challenging endeavor for even most skilled surgeon. In this article, authors review treatment options particularly presentations injury pattern.
