- Isolated Actinomycosis of the Hard Palate Incurred Subsequent to Local AnesthesiaTissue necrosis associated with local anesthesia and actinomycosis is rare. Here, the authors present management of excessive palatal necrosis associated with local anesthesia and actinomycotic infection. In oral surgery a simple procedure can lead to severe complications. Thus, preformation of any surgical procedure with a rigorous manner preferably by a qualified clinician may prevent the occurrence of this type of complications.
- The Innovator of ElectrosurgeryHemostasis has been a major risk in the surgical field, causing Halsted to preach for the need for better control of bleeding to improve the morbidity and mortality many surgeons faced at the time. This problem, while combated by suturing methods for many, remained an issue in the neurosurgical field. Dr. Cushing sought out the help of William Bovie, leading to the creation of electrosurgery. This invention changed the way surgery could be perfor
- Preoperative Planning and Simulation in Patients With Cleft Palate Using Intraoral Three-Dimensional Scanning and PrintingBackground: In cleft palate, surgery is necessary for recovering important functions of the normal palate, such as speech and feeding. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) scanning program with an intraoral scanner was used to evaluate the palate status of patients with cleft palate before palatoplasty. Further, a 3D cleft palate printed model of the patients’ palate using 3D printing technology was produced. Methods: Three patients with clef

- Anatomical Location of the Infraorbital Foramen in Infant Dry Skulls: Implications for Cleft SurgeryBackground: Infraorbital foramen (IOF) is an important anatomical landmark in cleft lip surgery. The location of IOF within the maxilla of infants is different from adults. However, little information about anatomy of IOF in infants exists in the literature. This study aims to determine the location of IOF in infant dry skulls based on key surgical landmarks. Methods: All dry skulls under age 2 years old were selected from the Hamann-Todd
- Applications of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2: Alternative Therapies in Craniofacial ReconstructionLarge defects of the craniofacial skeleton can be exceedingly difficult to reconstruct since autologous bone grafts are limited by donor site morbidity and alloplastic implants have low biocompatibility. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in craniofacial reconstruction have been used with mixed outcomes and complication concerns; however, results for specific indications have been promising. In alveolar clefts, cranial vault defects, mandibular
- Factors Affecting Prognosis in Patients With Spontaneous Supratentorial Intracerebral Hemorrhage Under Medical and Surgical TreatmentSpontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a vascular brain disease that causes very high rates of death and disability.

In our study, the authors selected randomly and evaluated ret
- Challenges in Microsurgical Reconstruction for Craniofacial Osteomyelitis With Resultant OsteonecrosisIntroduction: Chronic osteomyelitis is characterized by compromised blood supply and eventual osteonecrosis. Definitive treatment requires aggressive resection of affected bone. The resultant defect poses a unique challenge to reconstructive surgeons. Much of the literature on craniofacial osteomyelitis focuses on infection eradication, rather than subsequent reconstruction. This article reports representative cases from our experience with fr

However, joint handling offers risks, especially bleeding. In these cases, angiography and embolization of the arteries involved with the projectile play an important role in the prevention of complications. In this report, the authors describe a case of a 23-year-old male victim of firearm attack with comminuted fractur

- Rigid External Le Fort I Distraction Followed by Secondary Bone Grafting for Maxillary Advancements in Patients With Cleft Lip and PalateIntroduction: Maxillary hypoplasia after cleft lip and palate (CLP) repair can result in significant functional and aesthetic impairments. Le Fort I osteotomy & advancement and Le Fort I distraction osteogenesis are standard treatment options for individuals with CLP-associated midface retrusion. However, both of these modalities continue to be associated with a high relapse rate. This study describes surgical outcomes of a 2-stage technique u
- Three-Dimension–Printed Surgical Guide for Accurate and Safe Mandibuloplasty in Patients With Prominent Mandibular AnglesPerformance of mandibuloplasty is highly dependent on each surgeon's experience, and reproducing the results of simulation surgery is often difficult.

- Composite Nasoseptal Flap for Palate ReconstructionPalatal fistulae represent a pathological connection from the oral cavity through the hard or soft palate to the nasal cavity and can present a significant reconstructive dilemma. Surgical correction of palatal fistulae is often limited by prior treatment, including ablative procedures and radiotherapy, or previous reconstructive attempts. In light of these challenges, the nasoseptal flap represents an excellent adjacent source of vascularized ti

The patient complained of pain and cracking in the right temporomandibular joint region and was dissatisf
- Spontaneous Osteogenesis of a Traumatic Mandibular Defect in the Pediatric PopulationSpontaneous osteogenesis of traumatic mandibular defects in the pediatric population remains a relatively rare phenomenon with only 2 patients reported in the literature. In the adult population, a low threshold exists for bone graft placement in the presence of small mandibular gaps, with no role for spontaneous osteogenesis in significant mandibular defects. The approach to traumatic mandibular defects in the pediatric population is not clearly

- Total and Unilateral Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow and Unilateral Visual Analogue Scale: Rationale in Indication and Outcomes of Septoplasty?Septoplasty is one of the most frequently performed procedures in otorhinolaryngology. Proper selection of patients for septoplasty as well as examination is essential for good outcome of surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of combination of 2 simple, cheap, and easily performed examinations for indication and outcomes of septoplasty to evaluate the effectiveness in this type of surgery. Seventy patients were enrolled f
- Recurrent Maxillary Sinusitis and Periorbital Cellulitis Revealing an Unnoticed Medial Wall Orbital FractureUnilateral recurrent maxillary sinusitis is a common sinunasal pathology, mostly related to the ostiomeatal complex dysfunction. Although sinusitis can potentially spread to the adjacent structures, orbital cellulitis remains an exceptionally rare sequela. The authors report the unusual case of a patient who presented with recurrent maxillary sinusitis complicated by cyclic episodes of periorbital cellulitis related to ostiomeatal complex obstr
- Treatment of Deformational Plagiocephaly With PhysiotherapyNon-synostotic plagiocephaly consists in an asymmetry of the skull due to mechanical forces applied in utero or postnatally: main differential diagnosis is with true synostotic asymmetry, which is caused by the premature closure of a suture. The correction of positional forms is mostly conservative, with 3 main strategies: counterpositioning, physiotherapy and helmet therapy. There is no synthesized evidence on which is the most effective.1,2 The
