Complex Craniofacial Problems—A Guide to Analysis and Treatment

Abstract

Part 1 The human evolution and definition of growth, development and anomalies: history of craniofacial surgery evolutionary biology and the study of craniofacial growth, development and dysmorphology recent evolution of craniofacial structure classification of craniofacial anomalies. Part 2 Initial analysis and concerns: radiological analysis and visualization of craniofacial anomalies genetics and craniofacial syndromes patient-parent-surgeon issues concerning craniofacial surgery a philiosophical approach to craniofacial surgery. Part 3 Procedures and management: anaesthetic management in craniofacial surgery surgical techniques for the correction of craniosynostosis and neurocranial asymmetry reconstructive problems in cleft lip and palate and craniofacial malformations hypertelorism correction oculoplastic surgery in craniofacial surgery analysis and principles of surgery for Treacher Collins syndrome analysis and reconstruction of hemifacial microsomia orthognathic considerations of maxillary and mandibular surgery vascular malformations of the head and neck craniofacial trauma and its management management of craniofacial and cranial base tumors microvascular surgical applications to the craniofacial area applications of craniofacial techniques to aesthetic surgery post-operative management following major craniofacial surgery management of complications of craniofacial surgery. Part 4 New techniques and procedures: applications of autogeneous bone grafting for craniofacial problems the use of alloplastic materials for craniofacial anomalies the use of tissue expansion in craniofacial surgery unusual problems and situations new horizons in craniofacial surgery.
