Context: The fair comparison of treatment interventions for craniosynostosis across different studies is expected to be impaired by incomplete reporting and the use of inconsistent outcomes. Objective: This review assessed the outcomes currently reported in studies of craniosynostosis, and whether these outcomes are formally defined and prespecified in the study methods. Data Sources, Search Terms, and Study Selection: Studies were sourced via an electronic, multi-database literature...

Purpose: Presentation about advantages of a new surgical technique in 20 patients with punctal occlusion with a venous catheter during punctoplasty. Methods: The arrangement of a 30-mm venous catheter used during puncoplasty surgery was performed in 10 patients with punctal occlusion. The venous catheter was removed after 15 to 45 days after surgery. Results: The use of the venous catheter supports the recanalization of the lacrimal drainage system 15 days after surgery. The venous catheter...

The repair of a total lip defect and reconstruction of the vermilion border of the lip is challenging. Here, the authors report the successful functional and esthetic reconstruction of an injured upper lip using a free radial forearm flap and labia minora peripheral skin graft. A 43-year-old woman accidentally fell, resulting in a full-thickness wound in her entire upper lip. One month after the injury, the upper lip was reconstructed with an innervated free radial forearm flap. Six months postoperatively,...

Total laryngopharyngoesophagectomy defects after surgical ablation for laryngopharyngeal carcinoma with involvement of the cervical esophagus represents a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. Complicating an already challenging operation is when surgical ablation occurs after failure of primary chemoradiation requiring the surgeon to operate and reconstruct in an irradiated field limiting potential reconstructive options. Due to the advanced stage at diagnosis, some studies have shown that while...

Purpose: The aim of the present paper is to verify the long-term results in dental and skeletal stability in terms of symmetry, occlusion and functional balance by the association between the IS and the SF technique. Methods: In this paper, the authors described 12 cases of severe class III malocclusion treated by the association between the IS and the SF technique. Results: At 1 year of post-orthodontic follow up, the patients present an Angle class I occlusal relationship, no deep...

The ideal implant for anophthalmic socket reconstruction has yet to be developed. Biosilicate, a highly bioactive glass-ceramic, has been used in the composition of conical implants, which were initially tested in rabbit orbits with excellent results. However, the use of this material and the conical shape of the implants require further study in the human anophthalmic socket. Thus, we propose the use of a new conical implant composed of Biosilicate for orbital volume augmentation in anophthalmic...

The objective of this study was to examine whether an autologous alveolar bone graft has an effect on the nasolabial asymmetry in unilateral cleft lip, alveolus, and palate. Fifteen children (mean age 7.5 ± 2.4 years) with non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) were included. Non-ionizing three-dimensional images were acquired prior to and three months after the alveolar bone grafting procedure. A 2D and a landmark-independent 3D asymmetry assessment were used to detect changes of asymmetry...

Objectives: To evaluate morphological properties of the zygomaticus major (ZMj) and demonstrate its detailed anatomical relationships with the orbicularis oculi (OOc) and the parotid duct (PD). Methods: Fifteen formalin fixed adult cadaver heads (7 males /8 females) aged between 45 and 92 years were dissected to reveal the ZMj, OOc, PD. Shape, lengths and thickness of the ZMj, positional relationships of the ZMj with respect to the OOc and PD (overlap, neighboring, being separate) were determined....

Introduction and Objectives: Human external ear is a morphologically complex structure and plays a vital role in the collection of sound. The present study would provide the information regarding the shape and size of the various morphological structures of the ear in normal individuals which may help the plastic surgeons to reconstruct the anatomy of the deformed ear and the physical and forensic anthropologists to study variations and establishing its use as a biometrics. The aim of the study...

After a failed mandibular osteodistraction, the wrong positioned mandible of a few patients with Pierre Robin sequence returned in the most functional position and regained a proper symmetry, without external intervention. The study aims to explain this self-adjustment and introduce the floating bone phenomenon. The inclusion criteria were severe micrognathia, Fast and Early Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis protocol, postoperative mandibular wrong positioning, presurgery, immediate postsurgery,...

Background: Bleeding during rhinoplasty leads to many undesirable effects, such as loss of vision in the surgery area, complications during the procedure, and postoperative complications. The most important effect that increases bleeding is hemodynamic changes during surgery. Considering that osteotomy is the most challenging process in rhinoplasty, this study aimed to examine the hemodynamic changes during osteotomy and changes in the depth of anesthesia. Methods: A total of 50 patients,...

Introduction: Endoscopic push-through myringoplasty (PTM) that could be performed by the endoscopic transcanal approach is a minimally invasive procedure in repairing anterior quadrant perforations of the tympanic membrane. Push-through myringoplasty does not require any skin incision rather than graft harvesting and also does not require tympanomeatal flap elevation. Objective: The purpose of the current study was to compare the surgical and audiological outcomes of PTM and conventional...

We longitudinally assessed speech intelligibility (percent words correct/pwc), communication efficiency (intelligible words per minute/iwpm), temporal control markers (speech and pause coefficients of variation), and formant frequencies associated with lip motion in a 41-year-old face transplant recipient. Pwc and iwpm at 13 months post-transplantation were both higher than preoperative values. Multivariate regression demonstrated that temporal markers and all formant frequencies associated with...

Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) impacts resonance and articulation and contributes to social difficulties. Nasopharngoscopies (NPs) often inform VPI treatment planning. Using a mixed-model prospective design, this study describes the impact of VPI, NP perceptions, and ratings of pain, discomfort, and cooperation during NP from multiple perspectives. Participants (N = 33) were 7 to 16 years old (mean 8.8 years) with diagnoses primarily of cleft lip and palate (52%) or cleft palate (42%). Mostly...

Introduction and aim: The facial view of patients with cleft lip and palate greatly affects their psychological well-being and usually leads to introspection. The aim of this study was to compare the face and smile of cleft lip and palate patients and normal population with divine proportion. Method: In this retrospective study, 20 female patients (14–25 years) with unilateral cleft lip and palate, who referred to Orthodontic Department of Mashhad School of Dentistry, were selected. The control...

Studies have claimed that the maxillary arch dimension of unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patient is significantly smaller than normal patient. Multiple factors (both congenital and post natal treatment factors) are believed to have an impact on the treatment outcome (maxillary arch retardation) of UCLP patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of multiple factors on the treatment outcome by assessing the maxillary arch dimension of UCLP Children. Eighty-five Malaysian UCLP...

Elongation of the stylohyoid process or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament is known as the Eagle syndrome. Mostly, it is seen incidentally on imaging or with extreme suspicion and usually patients are asymptomatic. Surgery is the preferred method in symptomatic patients. Transcervical or transoral methods may be preferred as surgical route. A 28-year-old female patient who had formerly underwent tonsillectomy presented with throat and ear pain. A neck computed tomography was performed,...
