Purpose: This study aimed at evaluating the accuracy of computer guided mandibular fracture reduction. Patients and method: Ten patients were included in this study. A preoperative radiographic assessment cone beam…
Background and objectives: The temporomandibular joint plays a very important role for the function of the mandible. The delicate and complex anatomy of TMJ area challenges for the reconstructive surgery…
Aim: Post-traumatic enophthalmos or distopia may be a sequella of orbital fractures after inaccurate restoration of orbital anatomy. The preoperative computer-assisted planning with virtual correction has been combined with intraoperative…
Background and objectives: The correction of post traumatic orbital and zygoma deformity is an hard challenge for maxillo-facial surgeons. The integration of different technologies such as software, surgical navigation and…
Background and objectives: According to the literature the gold standard for mandibular reconstruction of large defects is the fibula free flap. The use of virtual planning and 3D model has…
Background and objectives: One potential barrier to the wide adoption of SNB is a false negative rate of up to 13% which is likely to be due to the incorrect…
Introduction: One of the urgent tasks of the modern neurosurgery is to increase the quality of the surgical care for patients with posttraumatic defects and deformations of the orbit. The…
The application of navigational support is commonly accepted in CMF surgery for several indications. Still the use is limited to those medical centers that can effort the costs for a…
Remodelling of mandibular bony defects following fracture or reconstructive surgery is not well understood. Perilesional osteopenia (PO) has been described in regeneration of long bone fractures and is thought to…
Purpose: This preliminary animal study aim to evaluate the accuracy of navigation assisted distraction osteogenesis (DO) in goat’s mandible by TBNavis-CMFS navigation system. Materials and methods: A total of 6…
Background and objectives: Infantile haemangioma (IH) is the most common tumour of infancy with characteristic of rapid growth followed by a variable period of involution. The aim of this study…
Reconstruction of intraoral defects is a challenging task which has known a progressive development from the use of prosthesis, to local, regional and free flaps. Although reconstruction with free flaps…
Background and objectives: Facial neuropathic pain is disabling for the patient and challenging for the clinician. Haemangioma is a benign vascular tumour common in childhood, characterized by abnormal endothelial proliferation,…
Background and objectives: Necrotizing fasciitis of the neck is a rare, progressive and life-threatening bacterial infection, usually polymicrobial, which spreads with frightening speed along the fascial planes and subcutaneous tissue,…
Background and objectives: Propofol is an intravenous anaesthesia agent with several advantages and usages in surgeries. But there are some reports regarding adverse effects and death with long-term or even…
Background and objectives: Hypertension is a multifactorial clinical condition, with high rates of complications, considered one of the greatest public health problems worldwide. Hypertension alters calcium regulation pattern provoking bone…
Background: Orbital exenteration, usually held in the neoplastic context, allows local control of the disease, but is a highly disfiguring procedure, with a high visual, psychological and social impact. Reconstruction…
Background: Ranula is a clinical term used to designate a mucocele that usually occurs in the floor of the mouth. Submandibular gland mucocele is extremely rare, with only 11 cases…
Background and objectives: Like many of our international colleagues, UK Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons are dually qualified. Whilst traditionally the pathway starts with dentistry and medicine as a second degree,…
