Simplification of the Le Fort I Osteotomy

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1989
The efficient execution of the Le Fort I osteotomy, as is true of any operation, requires a thorough understanding of the steps of the procedure, elimination of wasted motion and hesitation, a reduction of the number of instruments to a minimum, and an avoidance of pitfalls. A technical description of the author's method, which has proven effective, is

Cleft Le Fort I Osteotomy

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2016
In this video, we present a single piece Le Fort I osteotomy with bone graft in a patient with a unilateral cleft lip and palate. Maxillary osteotomies in the cleft patient can be challenging because of the presence of scar, palatal or alveolar fistulae, compromised teeth, and vascularization of the segments. The video demonstrates our current approach

Asystole during Le Fort I osteotomy

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1989
A case report of asystole occurring during down-fracture of a maxilla in a Le Fort I osteotomy procedure is described. The case serves to illustrate an extreme example of the trigeminovagal reflex during manipulation of the maxilla.

A peculiar complication in Le Fort I osteotomy

Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, 1988
In two cases of routine Le Fort I osteotomy in secondary cleft palate surgery, a swelling noted in the antral mucosa was biopsied. In both cases, histological examination resulted in a diagnosis of odontogenic myxoma. After analysis of the radiographs, it was concluded that the biopsies were taken from displaced tooth germs.

The effects of the Le Fort I osteotomy on the periodontium

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1992
Two age-matched populations of equal size (n = 40), one having orthodontic therapy and the other combined orthodontic therapy and orthognathic surgery, were evaluated for their periodontal status 1 to 10 years posttherapy. The parameters investigated were plaque index, gingival index, tooth mobility, width of keratinized tissue, probing depth, gingival

Endoscopically assisted Le Fort I osteotomy

Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, 2001
A new technique of the Le Fort I osteotomy using endoscopic techniques through limited approaches has been evaluated.This technique was first carried out successfully in a study on six cadavers. Thereafter we performed endoscopically assisted Le Fort l osteotomy in two patients.Four vertical incisions were used in the vestibule (paranasally and ...

The Self-Retained Le Fort I Osteotomy

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1987
Because inferior repositioning of the maxilla after Le Fort I osteotomy has a high relapse rate, a modified bone cut oriented obliquely upward has been tried in 29 patients. The modification allows extrusion of the fragment while maintaining good bony contact, thus eliminating the need for bone grafts. It also permits self-retention of the fragment and

The Frequency of Le Fort I Osteotomy in Cleft Patients

The Cleft Palate Craniofacial Journal, 2011
Objective The aim of this research was to study the frequency of Le Fort I osteotomy (LFI) in cleft patients treated according to the protocol of the Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam. Design Retrospective cohort study. Patients 508 cleft patients born between January 1, 1983, and December 31, 1992, were evaluated.

The Le Fort I Osteotomy: Stepwise Procedure

The Le Fort osteotomies are composed of a logical sequence of surgical steps that must be consistently followed during each procedure in order to operate successfully, with clarity and safely. Basically, six surgical steps can be distinguished, from incision to osteosynthesis. Even the incision can be decisive for obtaining a sufficient overview of the

Transmucosal Pterygomaxillary Separation in the Le Fort I Osteotomy

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2020
Summary: The Le Fort I osteotomy is a versatile operation for correction of developmental, congenital, and posttraumatic deformities of the lower midface. One of the challenges of the osteotomy is pterygomaxillary separation, with the potential for unfavorable fractures to the orbit/skull base or vascular injury.
