Filter by:In an effort to prevent or treat consistently high rates of PONV following maxillofacial operations, several medications, techniques and multimodal protocols have been studied. In the present study, the investigators hypothesized that combining metoclopramide with granisetron will improve PONV incidence when compared with granisetrone alone.
After the description of Le Fort fractures, maxillary osteotomies are used to correct dentofacial deformities. The profile changes on nasolabial region resulting from a Le Fort I osteotomy, also that affects nasal airway. The Subspinal Le Fort I osteotomy (SLFIO) describe to prevent undesirable soft tissue changes. In the literature, too many articles have reported the effectiveness of SLFIO in preventing nasal deformation. However, there is no study to evaluate the nasal volume or septum deviation.
The conventional saw compared with the piezo surgery in BSSO to evaluate cutting time, surgery duration, amount of bleeding. The purpose of this study was to answers following clinical questions: Is ultrasonic bonescalpel effective osteotomy like conventional bur in BSSO? and 2) Does it reduce operative parameter like bleeding, duration, lingual split pattern? 3) Does it reduce postoperative morbidity after BSSO.
The study was approved by the Local Ethics Committee and was conducted in compliance with the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki on medical research. A total of 335 patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial reconstruction were recorded from Jan 2014 to Jun 2020. Reconstruction with computer-assisted surgery ( CAS), which included, virtual surgical planning, computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) surgical guides/templates and pre-bent plates on 3D printed models. Reasons for tissue defect were oncologic, osteoradionecrosis, trauma and osteoporosis. Patients undergoing dental implant placement and orthognathic surgery were excluded. Finally, 136 patients were selected and the reasons for partial or abandon surgical plan performance were described and analyzed.
Orthognathic surgeries for maxillofacial deformities are commonly performed globally. However, they are associated with significant blood loss which can affect the surgical field and result in blood transfusion and its risks. We aim to review the different hypotensive anaesthetic practices for orthognathic surgeries, and their effects on intraoperative blood loss and transfusion requirements.
Comparing the pre and post-operative blood plasma levels of vitamin C according to oxidative stress and investigate the correlation between post-operative analgesia requirement and vitamin C levels following orthognathic surgery.
Orthognathic surgery aims to correct jaw position taking into account esthetic and functional criteria (dental occlusion, lip position, breathing...). These surgeries are planned using clinical, radiological and dental cast data. The result of this planning are occlusal splints. Orthognathic surgery had improved in the last decade with 3 dimensions computerized tomography scan (3D CT-Scan) planning and osteosynthesis implants. However the accuracy of the operative results compared to the planned ones has rarely been measured.
Orthognathic surgery aims to standardize position of the maxilla and the mandible and therefore chewing, breathing, phonation and swallowing functions. In postoperative, several physical and functional consequences are observed in patients: transient edema of the face, maxillo-mandibular blocking (causing difficulties to eat and occasional weight loss), pain and sensory disturbances (labial or/and chin paresthesias). Achieving sessions of manual lymphatic drainage by physiotherapist may allow faster decrease of postoperative edema, improved postoperative comfort and mental well-being. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of sessions of manual lymphatic drainage to reduce postoperative edema.
The present study intends to clarify whether there is positional mandibular stability in patients to be submitted to orthognathic surgery. In case of any instability exists, it is needed to understand if this could be related to a particular type of dentofacial deformity or could have any short-term or long-term influence on outcomes of the orthognathic surgery.
