RESUMEN
La microtia es un padecimiento congénito de etiología desconocida que se puede presentar asociado a síndromes, su frecuencia es mayor en hombres, tiene predilección por el oído derecho. Se han propuesto distintas alternativas de tratamiento tanto estéticas como funcionales que disminuyan riesgos y aumenten la calidad de vida de los pacientes. Entre los tratamientos más comunes se encuentra el injerto costocondral, siendo una alternativa viable, aunque de mayor riesgo y que puede necesitar varios procedimientos quirúrgicos con el fin de lograr el mejor resultado estético; por lo mismo, uno de los tratamientos más realizados actualmente, es la reconstrucción auricular con implantes osteointegrados que se colocan en la región mastoidea y soportan una prótesis auricular. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino quien fue rehabilitado con implantes mastoideos ostoeintegrados para reconstrucción auricular implantosoportada. Las prótesis implantosoportadas reducen la necesidad de realizar cirugías correctivas y posibilitan la buena higiene de la prótesis al ser ésta removible, pero sin sacrificar su estabilidad. Los sistemas más utilizados son los mismos que se emplean en sobredentaduras, ya que el diseño del aditamento transmucoso, se adapta perfectamente al grosor del epitelio en la región mastoidea, por lo que es una excelente alternativa de tratamiento (AU)
Microtia is a congenital condition of unknown etiology that can occur associated with syndromes. Its frequency is greater in men and has a predilection for the right ear. Different treatment alternatives, both aesthetic and functional, have been proposed that reduce risks and increase the quality of life of patients. Among the most common treatments can be found the costochondral graft being a good alternative although greater risk of failure and the probability of several surgeries to get the best aesthetic result. Because of that one of the most used treatments is the placement of osseointegrated implants that can hold a prosthetic ear. Here is a case of a male patient who was rehabilitated with osseointegrated mastoid implants for ear reconstruction. Implant-supported prostheses significantly reduce the number of surgeries that must be performed and is a good option to maintain excellent hygiene as the prosthetic ear is removable, without compromising stability. The most common system is the same as those used in overdentures since the design of the transmucosal attachment fits perfectly to the thickness of epithelium in mastoid region (AU)

OBJECTIVES@#This study aimed to analyze the application value of a modified tragus edge incision and transmasseteric anteroparotid approach to condyle reconstruction.@*METHODS@#Condyle reconstruction was performed in 16 patients (9 females and 7 males) with modified tragus edge incision and transmasseteric anteroparotid approach. After regular follow-up, the function of condyle reconstruction was evaluated by clinical indicators, such as parotid salivary fistula, facial nerve function, mouth opening, occlusal relationship, and facial scar. The morphology of rib graft rib cartilage was evaluated by imaging indicators, such as panoramic radiography, CT, and three-dimensional CT image reconstruction.@*RESULTS@#At 6-36 months postoperative follow-up, all patients had good recovery of facial appearance, concealed incisional scar, no parotid salivary fistula, good mouth opening, and occlusion. One case had temporary facial paralysis and recovered after treatment. Radiographic evaluation further showed that costochondral graft survived in normal anatomic locations.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The modified tragus edge incision and transmasseteric anteroparotid approach can effectively reduce parotid salivary fistula and facial nerve injury in condylar reconstruction. The surgical field was clearly exposed, and the incision scar was concealed without increasing the incidence of other complications. Thus, this approach is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective@#To summarize the effect of simultaneous orthognathic surgery along with mandibular ramus reconstruction using costochondral graft, for adult M3 hemifacial macrosomia.@*Methods@#From November 2015 to October 2017, 5 adults diagnosed with M3 hemifacial macrosomia were treated. There were 3 males and 2 females, aged from 19 to 26 years. Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy and SSRO with simultaneous mandibular ramus reconstruction using contralateral sixth or seventh costochondral graft was performed to correct the facial asymmetry and occluding relation. The data of clinical examination and CTs were collected at the time point of immediately postoperative, 1, 3, 6, 12 months after surgery. The facial symmetry, joint function, occlusion and 3D measurements in CT image reconstruction were analysed to evaluate the surgery outcome.@*Results@#The length of rib and costal cartilage ranged from 47 mm to 67 mm. All the costal cartilage grafts survived, and 4 patients got primary healing. All patients were followed for 2-13 months (with the mean follow-up of 8 months). The ratio of ramus length of affected side to normal side was over 80%. The occlusion was stable. The facial structures were satisfactory after 6 months.@*Conclusions@#Orthognathic surgery with simultaneous mandibular ramus reconstruction using costochondral graft is suitable for the adult severe hemifacial macrosomia, with satisfactory cosmetic and functional results. This method is easily performed with reliable graft survival rate, aesthetic facial structure and stable occlusion.
RESUMEN
La reconstrucción de estructuras perdidas por causas patológicas es una tarea desafiante para la cirugía maxilofacial contemporánea. En los últimos años se ha generado y masificado un gran desarrollo tecnológico, basado en la aplicación médico quirúrgica de tecnología digital para la confección de modelos estereolitográficos tridimensionales, a partir de la obtención de datos que puede proporcionar una Tomografía Axial Computada (TAC). En relación a esto último, la planificación, tiempo intraoperatorio y pronóstico de los tratamientos reconstructivos se han visto fuertemente favorecidos en casos de patología tumoral del macizo craneofacial. El Queratoquíste odontogénico representa un enigma para el profesional, aunque los avances e investigaciones de los últimos años han mejorado enormemente la comprensión de este tipo de lesiones, resultando interesante el comportamiento clínico y biológico, que incluye altas tasas de recurrencia y su potencial invasivo local. Varias alternativas se han propuesto como tratamiento para estos quistes, incluyendo el curetaje óseo, osteotomía periférica con uso de agentes químicos, eliminación de la mucosa adyacente en casos de perforación de las corticales, y la resección ósea de manera marginal o segmentaria con el posterior reemplazo de las estructuras. El presente reporte de casos describe la planificación digital y el tratamiento quirúrgico radical, con resección de rama mandibular y articulación temporomandibular unilateral, seguido del reemplazo inmediato de las estructuras mediante injerto costocondral, en dos pacientes diagnosticados histopatológicamente con Queratoquiste odontogénico mandibular.
Reconstruction of structures lost through disease is a challenge for contemporary maxillofacial surgery. In recent years we have seen great technological advances in the application of medical surgical digital technology for the making of 3D stereolithographic models using data from computerized axial tomography. Thanks to the latter, solid craniofacial tumor reconstructive treatment planning, intra operatory times and prognoses have improved. Odontogenic keratocysts constitute an enigma for the professional, although advances in research have improved the understanding of this type of lesion enormously. Its clinical and biological behavior are interesting for their local invasive potential and high recurrence rate. Several different treatments for these cysts have been proposed, including bone curettage, peripheral osteotomy using chemical agents, removal of adjacent mucosa in the case of cortical perforation and marginal or segmentary bone resection with replacement of the structures thereafter. These case reports describe digital planning and radical surgical treatment, with resection of the mandible ramus and temporomandibular joint, followed by immediate replacement of the structures using a costochondral graft in two patients with a histopathological diagnosis of mandibular odontogenic keratocyst.

PURPOSE: Saddle nose deformity results from lack of support to the nasal dorsum. The integrity of both the cartilaginous or bony portion of the nose is compromised. Cantilever bone graft is the mainstay for correction of saddle nose deformity, but the problems of bone graft are stiffness of the nasal tip and resorption. Thus the authors propose a costochondral cantilever graft, with the bony and cartilaginous portion harvested as one block, using cartilaginous portion as support to the nasal tip. METHODS: Between October of 1996 and July of 2005, 8 cases of saddle nose deformity were treated by the same surgeon. All patients had undergone costochondral cantilever graft. Postoperative evaluation included the depression of the nasal dorsum and tip. Comparisons of preoperative and postoperative photographs was done if possible. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 5.9 years. The results were excellent aesthetically and there was no complication. Conclusion: The authors' method maximize the benefits of each bone and cartilage graft while minimizing their inherent limitations.

Temporomandibular joint(TMJ) ankylosis is a serious and disabling condition. It results in the inability of the patient to open the mouth, impairment of the speech, difficulty in mastication, poor oral hygiene, facial asymmetry, mandibular micrognathia and psychologic disability. The causes of TMJ ankylosis can be diverse, traumatic, septic, autoimmune and rarely neoplastic. Traumas and particularly mandibular condyle fracture represent the most frequent cause of TMJ ankylosis. The interposition of muscle and fascia between the bones and many other materials like cartilage, muscle and dermis, fat or fascia was suggested.1 In addition, numerous alloplastic materials have been used for partial or total reconstruction of the TMJ. The current authors report 14 years follow-up results of Ohara condylar prosthesis for the treatment of bilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis in a 35-year-old male. The patient had a bilateral TMJ ankylosis and micrognathia resulted from rheumatoid arthritis and the TMJ reconstruction with Ohara condylar prosthesis was performed. Four years later, right Ohara prosthesis was removed due to the penetration of the prosthesis into the middle cranial fossa and right TMJ was reconstructed with vascularized calvarial bone graft and costo-chondral graft. At 13 years after the first operation, reankylosis occurred bilaterally, and gap arthroplasty with interpositional silicon block was performed. Now he is being encouraged to exercise to open the mouth and opening up to 30mm is possible.

Objective: To observe the effects of autotransplantatio n of costochondral graft in the defects in temporomandibular joint. Methods: Twenty New Zealand white rabbits aged 3 months were div ided into 4 groups: the animals in group A received autotransplantation of 4 mm costochondral graft and in group B received that of 1 mm after excision of the disk, condyle and upper part of the ramus. The rabbits in group C received the same excision operation without graft transplantation as surgical controls and those in group D were used as healthy controls. Samples of temporomandibula r joint were obtained and examined by X-ray cephalometry and histopathology. Results: Cephalometric measurements revealed that height of the mandibles on left side was significantly shorter than that on right sid e in group B and C(P
