Syndromic Synostosis
Frontofacial surgery, encompassing the monobloc with or without facial bipartition and the box osteotomy, can treat the frontal bone and midface simultaneously, providing comprehensive improvement in facial balance. Complex pediatric patients with genetic syndromes and craniosynostosis are most optimized by an interdisciplinary team of surgeons, pediatricians, geneticists, speech pathologists, audiologists, dietitians, pediatric dentists, orthodontists, and psychosocial support staff to manage the myriad of challenges and complications throughout early childhood and beyond. Despite early treatment of the anterior and poste...

Management of Sagittal and Lambdoid Craniosynostosis
The prevalence of sagittal and lambdoid suture craniosynostosis differs considerably, as they are notably the most and least prevalent sutures involved in isolated suture craniosynostosis, respectively. The goals of reconstructing the cranial vault in both entities is the same: to release the fused suture, expand cranial volume, restore normal head shape and morphology, and allow for normal growth of the cranial vault. With regards to sagittal suture synostosis, opinions vary on whether reconstruction should focus on either the anterior or poster cranial vault. In contrast, the poster cranial vault is always targeted in la...

Reconstruction of Head and Neck Melanoma Defects
The head and neck region is unique from the other anatomic sites due to its rich blood supply and ability to heal well after surgery. Surgical extirpation of melanoma usually requires wide resection margins, and the defect from surgery can be devastating to the patient and impossible to conceal sometimes. Therefore, the goal of a reconstructive technique is to restore the uniformity of skin color, texture, and contour and preserve the function. In general, head and neck skin defects are reconstructed with local and regional flaps. In this paper, the authors review the most common flaps used in head and neck reconstruction....

Future Treatments in Melanoma
Melanoma is a highly malignant tumor that is relatively common in the United States. Surgical extirpation is the mainstay in treatment, but a multimodal therapeutic approach is increasingly important in the era of highly effective immune and targeted therapies. Although resection of melanoma will continue to be the mainstay of management for the conceivable future, improvements in multimodality therapy have and will continue to rewrite the therapeutic playbook for this lethal and increasingly complex malignancy for head and neck surgeons treating patients with melanoma.

Introduction to Head and Neck Melanoma
Melanoma is often initially evaluated by the dermatologist. A methodical evaluation requires complete history and detailed clinical physical examination and appropriate decisions regarding biopsies. Accurate diagnosis and staging require clinicopathologic correlation and an excellent relationship with the dermatopathologist. Subsequent definitive treatment may be managed entirely by the dermatologist or might require a multidisciplinary team of specialists. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics)

Head and Neck Melanoma: Where Are We Now?
This issue of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America is devoted to the important topic of head and neck melanoma. There are some important facts about melanoma that make it a dedicated issue. The incidence of melanoma is rising faster than any other cancer. Melanoma accounts for only about 1% of skin cancers but causes the vast majority of skin cancer deaths. It is one of the most common forms of cancer in young people, especially among young women. There have been significant advancements in the field of melanoma over the past decade. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics)

Classification and Staging of Melanoma in the Head and Neck
The rates of melanoma continue to rise, with recent estimates have shown that 18% to 22% of new melanoma cases occur within the head and neck in the United States each year. The mainstay of treatment of nonmetastatic primary melanomas of the head and neck includes the surgical resection and management of regional disease as indicated. Thorough knowledge of the classification and staging of melanoma is paramount to evaluate prognosis, determine the appropriate surgical intervention, and assess eligibility for adjuvant therapy and clinic trials. The traditional clinicopathologic classification of melanoma is based on morphol...

Imaging and Laboratory Workup for Melanoma
Accurate diagnosis and staging of malignant melanoma remain crucial components in the overall treatment and prognosis of the patient. Advanced imaging modalities as well as laboratory testing continue to constitute an important part of the workup in melanoma and have seen several developments in recent years. The authors discuss imaging techniques and serum biomarkers used in the assessment of the melanoma patient. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics)
