Isolated Cleft Palate Closure with Osteotomy for Greater Palatine Artery

Jaw reduction surgery for long lower jaw

Mandible-first surgery (MdFS) has gained attention as an alternative to the traditional maxilla-first surgery (MxFS) in bimaxillary procedures. Given the distinct sequence of operations between these approaches, evaluating the clinical advantages of MdFS compared to MxFS is crucial for optimizing […]

The systematic review was registered on the PROSPERO website (CRD42024558287). Our objective is to systematically summarise the clinical evidence of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with Obesity or/and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus […]

Augmentation rhinoplasty using alloplastic materials is a relatively standard procedure in Asian patients. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) is one of the commonly used alloplastic materials because it has a high biocompatibility and is easy to handle. Recently, a patient who had previously […]

External nasal deformity is common and can be treated surgically. It often occurs in conjunction with the development of the nasal septal cartilage, vomer, and vertical plate of the ethmoid bone but may be caused by trauma. Here, we present a case of external nasal deformity caused by trauma. A […]

The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is widely used in head and neck reconstruction and serves as a versatile option for complex soft tissue eyelid and orbital socket reconstruction, particularly following orbital exenteration. This study evaluated the success and complication rates of RFFF in these […]

Interstitial deletions of chromosome 1q are rare, with about 30 cases reported in the literature. The phenotypical features of the affected subjects described so far include microcephaly, pre- and post-natal growth retardation, psychomotor delays, ear anomalies, brachydactyly, in addition to small […]

Surgical intervention in patients with repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) leads to altered muscular activity and hinders the normal growth of the maxilla.

Ultrasound […]

Reconstructing late deformities of the orbitozygomaticomaxillary complex after inadequate treatment of facial fractures requires zygomatic osteotomy to reposition the bony fragments to their anatomical position. However, confirming the position of the bone fragments can be challenging due to the […]

The aim of the study was to report 5 cases of concomitant traumatic macular hole (TMH) and orbital fracture and discuss its incidence./r/nThis was a retrospective, observational study including all patients with orbital fracture who were referred to us from May 2013 to December 2023. Axial and […]

Mandible fractures are relatively uncommon despite the mandible being the most commonly fractured facial bone in the paediatric population. The aetiology of mandible fractures can be categorized as intentional (e.g. as a result of assault, peer-to-peer violence, family violence) or non-intentional […]
