Application of team approach and key techniques of cleft lip and palate

The development of an expert consensus based on specific domestic situations will provide practical guidance to the efforts aiming at improving cleft care in China. The team approach of twenty-one cleft centers were pooled together, covering pre-surgical orthopedics, primary surgical repair, orthodontic treatment, alveolar bone graft, secondary deformity correction, palatal fistulae repair, the diagnosis and treatment of velopharyngeal incompetence, speech therapy, otitis media management, and skeletal deformity correction. Agreement was achieved among the authors concerning the application of critical surgical and non-surgical techniques. The ambition of this consensus is to introduce more clinicians to the revolution of sequential treatment of clefts, and form the basis for a more comprehensive cleft care manual in the future.

A simple innovation for improving the donor site scar of the Abbe flap

The Abbe flap is commonly used for the correction of secondary deformities of cleft lip. The midline lower lip scar of the donor site can lead to a bridging contracture when it crosses the labiomental crease. By addition of a small Z-plasty we can ensure that the concavity of the crease is maintained with a superior aesthetic result.

Unfavourable results in temporomandibular joint ankylosis surgery

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is a debilitating condition usually afflicting children and young adults. Treatment is surgical, i.e., release of the ankylosed joint/s with or without interposition arthroplasty and correction of secondary deformities (mandibular retrusion and asymmetry) This article deals with identifying potential setbacks in TMJ ankylosis surgery and preventing them.

Two-Stage Treatment Protocol for Management of Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis With Secondary Deformities in Adults: Our Institution's Experience

Treatment of adult patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis and secondary deformities is a challenging problem. Although various techniques, including arthroplasties, orthognathic surgery, autogenous bone graft, and distraction osteogenesis, have been described for the management of patients with this condition, an appropriate treatment protocol has not been established. The purpose of this report is to describe a 2-stage treatment protocol, comprising TMJ reconstruction as the initial surgery, followed by orthodontic treatment, and correction of secondary deformities as the second surgery, for the management of TMJ ankylosis with secondary deformities in adults. From January 2003 to December 2009, 24 adult patients (30 joints) with TMJ ankylosis and secondary deformities underwent TMJ reconstruction as the initial surgery, followed by orthodontic treatment and correction of secondary deformities as the second surgery. Clinical outcome was assessed based on oral function, radiography, and medical photography. Patients were followed up for a minimum of 12 months to a maximum of 32 months (mean, 18.6 months). No relapse of TMJ ankylosis occurred in any patient during the follow-up period. Oral function and skeletal deformities were significantly improved in all patients. Satisfactory occlusion was achieved with the help of orthodontic treatment. Most of the patients were satisfied with the final outcome. The 2-stage treatment protocol described not only restores oral function but also improves the patient's esthetic appearance. We believe that it is a good approach for management of TMJ ankylosis with secondary deformities in adult patients.

Secondary rhinoplasty of the nasal tip and columella. The choice of cartilage grafts.

Aesthetic improvement of the nasal tip requires both surgical skill and artistic judgement, and is the area where post-surgical stigma may most frequently be apparent. Important aesthetic guidelines are described, and techniques which the author considers unsatisfactory are listed. A simple basic technique is recommended for routine procedures, which may then be varied according to special needs. Preferred methods of raising the tip, augmentation of the tip and correction of secondary deformities are outlined. The aim throughout is to employ those techniques which create a natural appearance, both visual and tactile.
