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 ...

Osteotomy at the le fort i level. A versatile procedure

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1989
Tumours of the nasopharynx, cervical spine and base of skull have been surgically excised using the Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy to gain access to them. Five cases that illustrate the versatility of the approach are presented. The Le Fort I osteotomy is recommended to oral and maxillofacial surgeons, ENT and neurosurgeons as a simple procedure to ...

Le Fort III Osteotomy and Variations

The last five decades have seen decisive advances in orthognathic surgery in terms of surgical techniques and outcomes in the treatment of dysgnathic maxillo-facial malocclusion and deformities. However, despite brilliant technical innovations, the basic surgical principles have remained unchanged. The most common midface osteotomy techniques currently

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

Bone-plates for stabilizing Le Fort I osteotomies

Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 1986
16 adults were treated by inferior repositioning of the maxilla. Miniaturized plates were used for stabilizing the jaw in its new position. No interpositional bone grafts were used but the osteotomy spaces were covered by strips of cancellous iliac bone. Healing was uncomplicated.

Miniplate Fixation of Le Fort I Osteotomies

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1986
The use of rigid, internal, three-dimensional fixation using vitallium bone plates in 28 consecutive Le Fort I osteotomies is presented. A minimum follow-up period of 6 months was required for inclusion in this patient group. Maxillary movements included advancements (17), intrusions (9), lengthenings (5), and retrusions (2).

Surgical accuracy in Le Fort I maxillary osteotomies

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2001
The surgical outcome of planned movements of Le Fort I osteotomies is dependent on the surgeon's ability to achieve such movements intraoperatively. Our aim was to assess the surgical accuracy achieved for 30 consecutive patients undergoing Le Fort I osteotomies treated by one maxillofacial surgeon and his team.Intraoperative control of the mobilized ...

Le fort i osteotomy approach to the skull base

The Laryngoscope, 1990
AbstractHorizontal osteotomy allows the surgeon to safely down‐fracture the maxilla for wide exposure of the central skull base. This surgical approach is easily extended posteriorly in the midline to include the clivus and the arch of C1, providing 8 cm of horizontal anterior exposure and 5 cm of posterior.

Unusual Complications of the Le Fort I Osteotomy

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1995
In this report we describe three very different and interesting complications of the Le Fort I osteotomy. The first case is of a unilateral third nerve palsy developing as a result of a carotid-cavernous fistula and false aneurysm of the internal carotid artery. The second complication to be reported is total unilateral blindness. The third case is one
