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

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

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.

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.

Surgical complications of segmental Le Fort I osteotomy

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2011
Segmental maxillary osteotomy is a useful adjunct in orthognathic surgery for the correction of vertical and transverse maxillary deformities, but we know of few published reports that document complications. We evaluated the complication rates associated with segmental maxillary surgery in our unit by retrospective review of medical records ...

SIMPLIFYING THE LE FORT I TYPE OF MAXILLARY OSTEOTOMY

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1974
SUMMARY We suggest the use of a posterior vertical maxillary osteotomy, done through the maxillary tuberosity, in an elective Le Fort I osteotomy and mobilization of the maxilla. This is easily done through the cheek, using a two mm osteotome (after blunt dissection to eliminate any possible nerve trauma). Placement of an autogenous bone graft in the
