A precise glossectomy for tongue cancer adjacent to or crossing the midline: a novel anatomical unit resection surgery
Previous studies have lacked a clear anatomical and functional definition of glossectomy for tongue cancer adjacent to or crossing the midline (TCML). The aim of this study was to provide a novel surgical approach based on anatomical unit resection surgery to treat TCML. A total of 120 patients with TCML who had undergone radical surgery were recruited retrospectively into the study. The patients who were treated with compartment surgery formed the control group; those treated with anatomical unit resection surgery formed the experimental group.

Changes in the upper airway volume after orthognathic surgery: three-dimensional measurements in a supine body position
The objectives of this study were to analyse the changes in airway cross-sectional areas and volumes due to surgical movements of the jaws and to identify any possible correlation with the direction of the movements. Fifty-seven participants, aged 18 –28 years (mean 20.8 years) at surgery, were followed up for 12 months postoperatively. Pre- and postoperative measurements of the facial region obtained from computed tomography in a supine position were analysed according to the surgical movements and changes in the upper airways.

Duplication of the internal carotid artery and segmental aplasia of the vertebral arteries
The internal carotid artery mainly supplies the brain. As the internal carotid artery contributes to the formation of the cerebral arterial circle, its variations are relevant in imaging, interventional radiology, and surgery. Knowledge of these variations is important for vascular anastomosis in free flap reconstruction and in arterial ligatures for haemostasis. During a cadaveric cervical dissection, a duplicated left internal carotid artery was incidentally observed in the carotid triangle of the neck.

Systematic review of the software used for virtual surgical planning in craniomaxillofacial surgery over the last decade
Craniomaxillofacial surgery has been experiencing a deep conceptual change in surgical planning over the last decade, with virtual reality technologies becoming widely adopted. The high demand has led to an exponential increase in available software. The aim of this review was to outline the current literature and provide evidence on the most used software for virtual surgical planning (VSP), and also to define contemporary knowledge on which procedures are more ready candidates for VSP. A search was performed in the major databases, and screening of the results according to the PRISMA statement identified 535 articles rep...

Comparison of quality of life and psychological distress in patients with tongue cancer undergoing a total/subtotal glossectomy or extended hemiglossectomy and free flap transfer: a prospective evaluation
The aim of this study was to assess changes in the quality of life and psychological distress of patients with tongue cancer undergoing total/subtotal glossectomy (TG) or extended hemiglossectomy (HG) and free flap transfer. Differences between the two groups were compared using the Short Form 8-Item Health Survey (SF-8) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Of the 43 patients with tongue cancer, 24 (56%) underwent TG and 19 (44%) underwent HG. The general health and social functioning scores in the SF-8 and depression in the HADS were significantly worse in the TG group than in the HG group at 12 months after ...

Segmental mandibular advancement for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnoea: a pilot study
Segmental mandibular advancement (SMA) consists of a combination of bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, anterior subapical osteotomy with extraction of the first premolars, and genioplasty, to allow an extended advancement of the mandible for the improvement of tongue base obstruction in moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and to minimize any unfavourable aesthetic change due to the large jaw advancement. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes and complications following SMA in OSA patients. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Mechanical properties of platelet-rich fibrin from patients on warfarin
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been used increasingly in oral and maxillofacial surgery in recent years. The aim of this experimental study was to perform a mechanical evaluation of PRF from patients on warfarin. PRF samples were obtained from 21 patients on warfarin (mean INR 2.30  ± 0.89) and 21 non-anticoagulated patients (control; mean INR 1.08 ± 0.07). For the patients on warfarin, two experimental groups were formed based on the PRF centrifugation time: group A, 10 min (21 samples); group B, 18 min (20 samples).

In-office outpatient orthognathic surgery: review of 254 cases where the patients were discharged the same day
This study was performed to present a single operator ’s experience of in-office (outside of a hospital setting) outpatient orthognathic surgery over a period of 12 years. A total of 254 surgeries were performed during this period. Average procedure times were comparable with published results from studies of similar material. The mean operating time for bimaxillary surgery (n = 21) was 3 hours and 11 minutes. Regarding single-jaw procedures, the mean operating time for Le Fort I osteotomy (n = 115) was 2 hours and 14 minutes and for bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (n = 118) was 2 hours and 1 minute. (Sour...

FACE-Q satisfaction following upper third facial gender-affirming surgery using custom bone-section guides
Postoperative satisfaction after facial gender-affirming surgery (FGAS) has not yet been assessed using a validated questionnaire. There is currently no postoperative satisfaction questionnaire specific to transgender patients concerning facial surgery. The contributions of three-dimensional planning in fronto-orbital surgery in trans women and the use of bone cutting guides for facial feminization surgery have been demonstrated. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate postoperative satisfaction with the upper third of the face in trans women using a validated questionnaire – FACE-Q – after fronto-orbital s...
