- Is Three-Dimensional Virtual Planning in Cranial Reconstruction for Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Skull a Feasible Option?Background: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a common type of malignant skin disorder. An uncommon feature is local bony invasion, as can rarely be seen in lesions on the scalp. The optimal treatment strategy in these rare cases is still under debate. Objective: The aim of this case report is to present a 1-stage three-dimensional planned surgical resection and reconstruction of a cSCC with bony invasion into the scalp and to d
- Orthognathic Surgery Has a Significant Positive Effect on Perceived Personality Traits and Perceived Emotional Facial Expressions in Subjects With Primary Mandibular DeficiencyThis study tested the hypothesis that a layperson's social perceptions of a dentofacial deformity (DFD) patient with primary mandibular deficiency (PMD) are more positive after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. A survey was implemented comparing layperson's social perceptions of emotional expressions and personality traits before and >6 months after orthognathic surgery when viewing standardized facial photographs. The study sample comprised 20
- Identification of Stress Fields in a Customized Mandibular Reconstruction Based on a Photoelastic ModelTumors, trauma and infections are the main reasons for subjecting a patient to a bone reconstruction made with the use of bone grafts or prosthetic elements, using for example components such as osteosynthesis plates, meshes and screws for their stabilization. This study focuses on the photoelastic analysis of a customized prosthesis of the jaw for a patient diagnosed with osteonecrosis. A resin model was manufactured as follows: DICOM files we
- The Impact of Ethnicity on Craniosynostosis in the United StatesWhile many studies have examined potential risk factors for nonsyndromic craniosynostosis, there have been no publications to date investigating the role of ethnicity in the United States. The current study was undertaken as the first multi-center investigation to examine the relationship between ethnicity and nonsyndromic craniosynostosis, looking at both overall prevalence as well as potential correlation between ethnicity and pattern of affect
- Reconstruction of a Huge Residual Palatal CleftClosure of large oronasal fistula (ONF) in cleft patients is a challenge for patients and surgeons. The extent of functional impairment has psychologic, social, and developmental consequences. The ONF affects the feeding and speech of patients. Keys to repairing fistulas in this region are a 2-layer, tension-free closure, and an attentive suturing technique. In this article, the details and effectiveness of 2-flap palatoplasty are presented. Ad

Methods: Computed tomography scans of 32 unoperated Apert syndrome and 50 controls were included and subgrouped as: type I, bilateral coronal synostosis; type II, pansynostosis;
- Outcomes of Surgical Management of Palatal Fistulae in Patients with Repaired Cleft PalateBackground: The palatal fistula is an important surgical challenge within the longitudinal follow-up of patients with repaired cleft palate as the success rate of palatal fistula reconstruction by adopting several surgical techniques is variable and often unsatisfactory. The purpose of this retrospective study was to report the clinical outcomes of an algorithm for the surgical management of palatal fistulae in patients with repaired cleft pal
- Comparison of Lengthening Temporalis Myoplasty and Free-Gracilis Muscle Transfer for Facial Reanimation in ChildrenBackground: Lengthening temporalis myoplasty (LTM) and cross-face nerve graft with free gracilis muscle transfer (CFNG-FGMT) are the 2 most common procedures used to restore dynamic facial animation and improve facial symmetry. There has not been direct comparison or consensus. Here, the authors compare our experience with respect to muscle activity, symmetry, and excursion. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of patients with f
- An Accurate Volumetric Analysis Method for Evaluating Outcomes of Alveolar Cleft ReconstructionAn accurate volumetric analysis method for evaluating the outcomes of different types of alveolar cleft reconstruction is essential because it can help determine which graft material is more effective, confirm favorable times for alveolar bone grafting, and improve surgical techniques. This study aimed to introduce a novel method of precisely calculating the bone formation ratio using computer-aided engineering after surgery. A patient with a uni
- A Rarely Seen Mass of Nasal Cavity: Seromucinous HamartomaSeromucinous hamartoma (SH) is a rarely seen benign polypoid mass of the sinonasal tract. Although the most common presentation symptom is nasal obstruction, most of the patients are asymptomatic. In this paper, the authors present an additional case of SH and discuss its differential diagnosis. A 34-year-old male patient presented with progressive nasal obstruction and serous nasal discharge for several months. A well-defined polypoid mass was d
- Usefulness of Ramified Cephalic Vein Graft in the Wrist for Connection With Concomitant Vein in Head and Neck ReconstructionA vein graft in head and neck reconstruction is essential in some circumstances. The cephalic vein in the wrist has a suitable caliber for both a concomitant vein and the internal jugular vein (IJV). A vein graft involving the cephalic vein and its branches was used in 2 cases of head and neck reconstruction. The ramified distal vein was anatomized with a concomitant vein, and the proximal larger vein was anastomosed with the IJV using an end-to-
- Remote Intracranial Hemorrhage Secondary to Brain Tumor SurgeryPostoperative remote intracranial hemorrhage (rICH) secondary to craniotomy surgery is an extremely rare but catastrophic complication. The present study aimed to investigate the incidence and the possible pathophysiological mechanism of rICH after brain tumor surgery.
