Pediatrics, Craniofacial and Orthognathic Surgery Track: Juvenile Active Ossifying Fibroma of the Frontal Sinus: A Case Report of Single-Stage Resection and Reconstruction Using Virtual Surgical Planning and Patient-Specific Implants
This report describes a case of an 11-year-old female who was referred to the craniofacial clinic at University Hospital in San Antonio TX with complaints of frontal headaches and a mass on her forehead. Prior to presenting to University Hospital, she underwent 2 unsuccessful endoscopic sinus surgeries with ENT for recurrent sinusitis and forehead swelling of 1-2 years duration. She was diagnosed via endoscopic biopsy with Juvenile Active Ossifying Fibroma, psammomatoid variant (JPOF), a rare, benign, yet aggressive fibro-osseous lesion of the craniofacial skeleton.

Craniomaxillofacial Trauma Surgery Track: Innominate Artery Injury During Tracheostomy: A Case Report and Literature Review
Percutaneous tracheostomy is a common procedure that can be done at bedside by intensivists. The widespread adoption of bronchoscopy and ultrasound have also been utilized in the ICU, leading to the decline of conventional surgical tracheotomy1. Percutaneous tracheotomy is thought to have several advantages over conventional tracheotomy. These include a smaller skin incision, less dissection and tissue trauma, and fewer wound complications. Long-term complications have also been reported less frequently. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Craniomaxillofacial Trauma Surgery Track: External Fixation for Tissue Preservation in Complex Mandible Trauma and its Sequelae: Reminder of a Method
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in jaw reconstruction and are frequently responsible for the management of complex mandible injuries caused by low- and high-velocity penetrating, blunt impact, and blast trauma. External fixation of comminuted, contaminated, compounded, and infected fractures can preserve tissue, maintain anatomic integrity, and provide an effective stage in reconstruction.

Craniomaxillofacial Trauma Surgery Track: Patient-Specific Implants in the Management of Dislocated Subcondylar Fractures: A Case Report
Fractures involving the mandibular condyle can be challenging, but the difficulty is compounded when the TMJ ligaments and capsule are avulsed, and the condyle is dislocated from the glenoid fossa. The study describes a novel approach in the management of dislocated subcondylar fractures using patient-specific implants. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Craniomaxillofacial Trauma Surgery Track: Does Submental Airway Compared to Open Tracheostomy Reduce Hospital Length of Stay for Complex Craniomaxillofacial Trauma?
Patients suffering from complex craniomaxillofacial trauma (CMFT) are at increased risk of airway compromise. This may necessitate airway stabilization via a surgical airway (open tracheostomy [OT]/cricothyroidotomy) prior to transfer to a tertiary trauma center specialized to manage CMFT or during CMFT management. The submental airway (SMA) is an alternative surgical airway that avoids the need for an OT, its potential perioperative complications and increase in hospital length of stay (LOS). The specific aims of this study are to 1) compare the total number of days spent with an advanced airway (airway days), measured fr...

Craniomaxillofacial Trauma Surgery Track: Evaluation of Time-to-Treatment of Mandible Fractures and Associated Complications During the COVID-19 Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were significant limitations placed on hospitals, including decreased bed availability and challenges transferring patients between institutions. The purpose of this study is to determine if limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in delayed treatment of mandible fractures and evaluate complications associated with these injuries.

Head & Neck Oncology Track: Is Preoperative Serum Albumin Predictive of Adverse Outcomes in Head and Neck Cancer Surgery?
Malnutrition is well-established as a predictor of adverse outcomes across many surgical subspecialties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between preoperative serum albumin and adverse outcomes in patients undergoing head and neck cancer surgery.

Head & Neck Oncology Track: Margin Status and Survival Outcomes in Virtually Planned Oncologic Jaw Surgery
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether the use of computer-aided surgery (also known as virtual surgical planning/VSP or individualized patient solutions/IPS) in oncologic microvascular reconstructive surgery of the jaw affects surgical margin integrity and survival outcomes in patients with oral malignancy (T4a) involving the jaw. In addition, we aim to identify variables associated with positive margin status when preoperative surgical margins are planned using this technology.

Head & Neck Oncology Track: What are the Risk Factors for Long-Term Enteral Nutrition Following Oral Cancer Resection?
Patients undergoing oral cavity cancer resection typically require enteral tube feeding postoperatively. After surgery, patients who fail to resume oral intake with a nasogastric tube (NGT) will often require the insertion of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube for long-term nutrition. At our institution, a PEG tube is recommended after 4 weeks if patients are unable to be weaned off NGT feeds at that time. Currently, there are no established guidelines predicting the preoperative need for PEG tube placement. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Head & Neck Oncology Track: Subsite-Specific Transcriptional Networks in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma May Allow for Subsite-Directed Therapies
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), in particular in oral cavity cancer, continues to pose a challenge to obtaining locoregional control and survival. Currently, there is a poor understanding of the HNSCC disease biology. While the depth of invasion and T-stage are the focus of clinical decision-making, molecular biology may yield additional actionable information. We sought to identify key oncogenic transcriptional networks within different anatomical subsites that correlate with tumor stage and survival outcome.
