Craniofacial Surgery

Part of the best-selling Operative Techniques series, Operative Techniques in Plastic Surgery provides superbly illustrated, authoritative guidance on operative techniques along with a thorough understanding of how to select the best procedure, how to avoid complications and what outcomes to expect. This stand-alone book offers focused, easy-to-follow coverage of injuries and diseases afflicting the craniofacial region, all taken directly from the larger text. It covers nearly all plastic surgery operations for this area that are in current use, and is ideal for residents and physicians in daily practice.

This clinical book + videos embraces the spectrum of craniofacial surgery Written by the world's foremost experts, Atlas of Operative Craniofacial Surgery with its accompanying videos is a unique resource that offers the reader a succinct yet comprehensive guide to performing craniofacial operations. In each chapter, renowned specialists share their strategies for selecting patients, executing effective preoperative planning, comprehending detailed operative techniques, instituting postoperative care best practices, dealing with possible complications, and much more. Key Features The wide array of covered topics includes the cranial vault, reconstruction of the facial bones, orbital fracture repair, rhinoplasty, maxillary and mandibular operations, ear reconstruction, and cleft lip and palate repair Over 1400 intraoperative photos and 300 drawings guide the reader through each operative procedure in a step-by-step fashion Emphasis on how the procedures are performed, rather than on theory Includes case studies that show the results of the discussed techniques Accompanied by 20 surgical technique videos Presented in cooperation with the American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons (ASMS) and the American Society of Craniofacial Surgery (ASCFS), this beautiful atlas is essential for all those involved with craniofacial surgery, including craniofacial surgeons, craniofacial surgery fellows, maxillofacial residents, and others.

Addressing the complete range of craniofacial anomalies, from cleft lip and orthognatic surgery to acute facial fractures and tumors, Craniofacial Surgery provides step-by-step instruction on the anesthetic management, surgical work-up, and operative treatment of complex congenital or acquired anomalies affecting the head, upper face, and jaw. Written by seasoned experts who have developed a thorough clinical and basic knowledge in this evolving discipline, this source will comprehensively analyze basic areas of craniofacial surgery, and set the standard for the management of these challenging clinical entities. Written in a basic science format slanted towards neurological disorders Craniofacial Surgery covers the basic areas of craniofacial surgery addressing the standard of technique to use within the diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and management for patients having craniofacial disorders the entire range of craniofacial anomalies from cleft lip and orthognatic surgery to acute facial fractures and tumors skeletonization and repositioning of the boney skeleton as well as three dimensional mobilization and re-positioning of the bony framework - which is only accomplished by a combined intra- and extra- cranial approach all modern-day techniques in craniofacial surgery, including the use of craniofacial techniques for application in aesthetic surgery The management of both congenital and acquired defects

After 20 years of intense and gradual improvements in the practice of craniofacial surgery, the International Society was born in Montreal (June 1983) and I. Munro was selected as general secretary. Its first meeting was held in La Napoule (Sep tember 1985) under the chairmanship of D. Marchac. In the meantime, the Euro pean group of the Society had held a session in Stockholm (June 1985) with B. Jo hanson acting as chairman. This now belongs to the history of our specialty, as does the course organized by E. Caronni in Rome (March 1982). These four landmarks in such a short time show the lively interest in craniofacial malformations and all their correction involves: - Syndrome delineation - Evaluation of the components of the malformations - Anatomy of the malformations - Imaging and measurement - Strategies and tactics in very different syndromes - Follow-up with reference to growth patterns in patients subjected to surgery or merely kept under observation - Implications of orbitocranial procedures for routine maxillofacial surgery - The interdisciplinary approach involving pediatricians, anesthesiologists, n- rosurgeons, ophthalmologists, orthodontists and speech specialists - The theories in vogue and those revised for some of the abnormalities All this could not be resolved in a 2-day meeting and probably will not be solved in the next generation.

The aim of the book “Maxillofacial Surgery and Craniofacial Deformity - Practices and Updates” was to collect various aspects of facial and cranial deformities in one single textbook in order to have a systematic way of thinking when approaching these interconnected manifestations. Furthermore, other associated social aspects of health care are integrated to give a wider view of the problem and some important considerations of care.

This is the first volume in an interdisciplinary three-book series covering the full range of biological, clinical, and surgical aspects in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with craniofacial malformations. This volume opens by considering general topics such as developmental biology and disease classification and then examines in depth the biological basis of the various malformations, including craniosynostoses, cleft-lip and palate with complex orofacial clefts, branchio-oculo-facial syndromes, rare syndromes, soft tissue malformations, and dysgnathia. Psychological aspects, including psychological evaluation methods and therapies and quality of life issues, are then addressed. Finally, all relevant clinical, radiological, and genetic investigations are described and important diagnostic issues are explored. Featuring numerous high-quality illustrations, the book will be of high value for all clinicians, researchers, and postgraduate students who deal with these malformations. The accompanying two volumes describe treatment principles and present in an atlas manner all relevant surgical techniques in detail. The content of this multivolume set, written by the world’s leading research and clinical specialists in their discipline, represents therefore the recent intellect, experience, and state of this medical field.

This book, edited by a leading pioneer of craniofacial distraction, summarizes the progress achieved in the field in a way that will serve the needs of the practicing clinician. All components of the craniofacial anatomy are covered and all topics are discussed in depth: clinical and anatomic pathology, diagnostic studies, treatment protocols, preoperative planning (including the latest virtual programs), device selection, operating room technical considerations, postoperative management, and intermediate/long-term follow-up. Relevant and timely studies from the literature are cited. The book is excellently illustrated, with many patient photos, radiographs, and drawings. Craniofacial Distraction will be a superb, up-to-date resource for a wide range of practitioners, including maxillofacial surgeons, craniofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons, head and neck surgeons, pediatric surgeons, orthodontists, prosthodontists, and pedodontists.
