RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study presents the results of an updated clinical protocol for orbital blow-out fractures, with a special emphasis on nonsurgical treatment and orthoptic evaluation of functional improvement. METHODS: A two-centre multidisciplinary prospective cohort study was designed to monitor the results of a clinical protocol by assessing ductions, diplopia, globe position, and fracture size. Patients underwent clinical assessment and orthoptic evaluation at first presentation and then at 2 weeks and 3/6/12 months after nonsurgical or surgical treatment. Outcome parameters were field of binocular single vision (BSV), ductions, degree of enophthalmos, a diplopia quality-of-life (QoL) questionnaire, and other sequelae or surgical complications. RESULTS: 46 of the 58 patients who completed the 3, 6 and/or 12-month follow-up received nonsurgical treatment. There was full recovery without diplopia or enophthalmos (>2 mm) in 45 of the 58 patients. The other 13 patients had limited diplopia, mainly in extreme upward gaze (average BSV 90). Five of those 13 patients did not experience impairment of diplopia in daily life. The average QoL score at the end of follow-up was 97. No patients developed late enophthalmos. CONCLUSION: This study showed that a high percentage of patients with orbital floor and/or medial wall fracture recovered spontaneously without lasting diplopia or cosmetically disfiguring enophthalmos. The conservative treatment protocol assessed here underlines the importance of orthoptic evaluation of functional parameters.

RESUMO

Bimaxillary osteotomy for obstructive sleep apnoea Objective To gain insight into postoperative results of bimaxillary osteotomy in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Design Retrospective patient series. Method All patients with OSA who had undergone a bimaxillary osteotomy in the Amphia Hospital in Breda in the Netherlands in the past 4 years were eligible for inclusion. The primary outcome measures were the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI), a decrease in symptoms and the success of the operation. Results In the past 4 years, 22 patients with OSA underwent a bimaxillary osteotomy in the Amphia Hospital in Breda. We further analysed data from 18 patients. All patients had a normal to moderately elevated BMI. 94.1% had a complete absence or a marked decline in symptoms postoperatively. In 23.5% the cure was complete (AHI < 5/h) and treatment was successful in 52.9% of the patients (> 50% reduction in AHI and AHI < 20/h). The average AHI decreased from 38/h preoperatively to 11/h postoperatively. Conclusion Bimaxillary osteotomy is currently often regarded as a final treatment option for patients with OSA. Even in these patients with a relatively complex condition the results of the operation are relatively good. For treatment providers it is important to recognise patients who might benefit from a bimaxillary osteotomy, such as patients with OSA and retrognathia.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Advanced three-dimensional (3D) diagnostics and preoperative planning are the first steps in computer-assisted surgery (CAS). They are an integral part of the workflow, and allow the surgeon to adequately assess the fracture and to perform virtual surgery to find the optimal implant position. The goal of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and predictability of 3D diagnostics and preoperative virtual planning without intraoperative navigation in orbital reconstruction. METHODS: In 10 cadaveric heads, 19 complex orbital fractures were created. First, all fractures were reconstructed without preoperative planning (control group) and at a later stage the reconstructions were repeated with the help of preoperative planning. Preformed titanium mesh plates were used for the reconstructions by two experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The preoperative virtual planning was easily accessible for the surgeon during the reconstruction. Computed tomographic scans were obtained before and after creation of the orbital fractures and postoperatively. Using a paired t-test, implant positioning accuracy (translation and rotations) of both groups were evaluated by comparing the planned implant position with the position of the implant on the postoperative scan. RESULTS: Implant position improved significantly (P < 0.05) for translation, yaw and roll in the group with preoperative planning (Table 1). Pitch did not improve significantly (P = 0.78). CONCLUSION: The use of 3D diagnostics and preoperative planning without navigation in complex orbital wall fractures has a positive effect on implant position. This is due to a better assessment of the fracture, the possibility of virtual surgery and because the planning can be used as a virtual guide intraoperatively. The surgeon has more control in positioning the implant in relation to the rim and other bony landmarks.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Mirroring has been used as a diagnostic tool in orbital wall fractures for many years, but limited research is available proving the assumed symmetry of orbits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate volume and contour differences between orbital cavities in healthy humans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, the left and right orbital cavities of a consecutive sample of patients' computed tomograms were measured. Inclusion criteria were patients with no sign of orbital or sinus pathology or fracture. Outcome variables were differences in volume and contour. Descriptive statistics and Student paired t test were used for data analysis of orbital volume and distance maps were used for analysis of orbital contour. RESULTS: The sample was composed of 100 patients with a mean age of 57; 50% were men. The total mean orbital volume was 27.53 ± 3.11 mL. Mean difference between cavities was 0.44 ± 0.31 mL or 1.59% (standard deviation [SD], 1.10%). The orbital contour showed high similarity, with an absolute mean left-versus-right difference of 0.82 mm (SD, 0.23 mm). CONCLUSION: The authors hypothesize that the measured differences between right and left orbital volumes and contours are clinically minor. In consequence, the use of mirroring tools as part of preoperative planning in orbital reconstruction is legitimate with the aim of simulating the pre-traumatized anatomy.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study determined the average distances and angles between anatomic landmarks within the orbit, with an emphasis on localization of the orbital process of the palatine bone. This information will help the surgeon with treatment planning and surgical procedures. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Four anatomic landmarks were identified retrospectively on computed tomograms of 100 adult Caucasian patients (50 men and 50 women): the top of the infraorbital margin superior to the infraorbital foramen (point A), the top of the orbital process of the palatine bone (point B), the anteriormost bony portion of the superior orbital fissure (point C), and the ventrolateral aspect of the bony entrance of the optic canal (point D). The distances between these points were measured, as were the angle between the medial wall of the orbit and a line connecting points A to D at the level of the optic nerve. RESULTS: The mean distances between the orbital rim (point A) and the orbital process of the palatine bone (point B) were 33.8 mm in men and 32.7 mm in women. Men had markedly larger bony orbits than women; however, women had a larger angle than men for the 2 orbits. CONCLUSION: Obtaining these measurements preoperatively can enable a safer and more predictable surgical approach to the orbit, which can help lower the risk of damaging important neighboring structures. A preformed reconstruction plate can be manufactured or a standard reconstruction plate can be customized according to these measurements; during reconstruction, they also can help adequately localize the posterior ledge, specifically the orbital process of the palatine bone. These 2 aspects could ensure a more precise reconstruction of the orbital floor.

RESUMO

Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is a widely used orthognathic surgery technique. This prospective observational study investigated the correspondence between the planned inferior border cut and the actually executed inferior border cut during BSSO. The influence of the inferior border cut on lingual fracture patterns was also analyzed. Postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 41 patients, representing 82 sagittal split osteotomies, were investigated. The inferior border cut was intended to penetrate completely through the caudal cortex. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the executed inferior border cuts. Mixed models were used to investigate the influence of independent variables such as the surgeon's experience on the inferior border cut. Secondarily the influence of the inferior border cut on lingual fracture patterns and the incidence of bad splits was assessed. The inferior border cut reached the caudal cortex in all cases, but reached the lingual cortex in only 38% of the splits. There was no significant relationship between the inferior border cut and a specific lingual fracture line. In this study, postoperative CBCT analysis revealed that the bone cuts during BSSO were often not placed exactly as planned. No significant relationship between the inferior border cut and lingual fracture patterns or bad splits was, however, detected.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of intra-operative visualisation, endoscopic assistance, and CT measurements for estimating the orbital fracture size and complexity. METHODS: Ten human cadaver heads were subjected to thin-slice computed tomography (CT). Standardised fractures were created using piezoelectric surgery in accordance with the Jaquiéry classification system. Four surgeons and one anatomist used six different observation methods to visualise and describe the orbital defects. RESULTS: The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for the fracture length measurements were relatively low for all observation methods (range, 0.666-0.883). CT measurements of width showed high consistency (ICC, 0.910). The surface area of the defect was highly overestimated by all methods (range, 121-184%). None of the observers was able to accurately estimate the length or width of 95% of the defects within an error range of ±0.75 cm. CONCLUSION: CT measurements are the most consistent and accurate tool for estimating the critical size of orbital factures. In daily practice, a measurement tool in a DICOM viewer could be used, although software packages that allow manual adjustments are advisable. Direct intraoperative visualisation and surgeon experience are of limited value in the estimation of fracture size and complexity, and endoscopy provides no additional advantages.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to validate a quick, accurate and reproducible (semi-) automatic software segmentation method to measure orbital volume in the unaffected bony orbit. Precise volume measurement of the orbital cavity is a useful addition to pre-operative planning and intraoperative navigation in orbital reconstruction. METHODS: In 21 CT scans, one unaffected orbit was selected to compare manual segmentation (gold standard) with three segmentation methods using iPlan software (version 3.0.5; Brainlab, Feldkirchen, Germany): automatic (method A), automatic minus bone/air masks (method SA) and automatic minus masks followed by manual adjustments (method SAA). First, validation of the manual segmentation and a newly described method for the anterior boundary was performed. Subsequently the accuracy, reproducibility and time efficiency of the methods were examined. Measurements were performed by two observers. RESULTS: The intraclass correlation for the interobserver agreement of the anterior boundary was 0.992, and the intraobserver and interobserver agreement for the manual segmentation were 0.997 and 0.994, respectively. Method A had an average volumetric difference of 0.49 cc (SD 0.74) in comparison with the gold standard; this was 0.24 cc (SD 0.27) for method SA and 0.86 cc (SD 0.27) for method SAA. The average time for each method was 38 (SD 5.4), 146 (SD 16.0) and 327 (SD 36.2) seconds per orbit. CONCLUSION: The built-in automatic method A is quick, but suboptimal for clinical use. The newly developed method SA appears to be accurate, reproducible, quick and easy to use. Manual adjustments in method SAA are more time-consuming and do not improve volume accuracy. The largest volume discrepancy is located near the inferior orbital fissure.

RESUMO

In the treatment of orbital defects, surgeon errors may lead to incorrect positioning of orbital implants and, consequently, poor clinical outcomes. Endoscopy can provide additional visualization of the orbit through the transantral approach. We aimed to evaluate whether endoscopic guidance during orbital reconstruction facilitates optimal implant placement and can serve as a convenient alternative for navigation and intra-operative imaging. Ten human cadaveric heads were subjected to thin-slice computed tomography (CT). Complex orbital fractures (Class III/IV) were created in all eligible orbits (n = 19), which were then reconstructed using the conventional transconjunctival approach with or without endoscopic guidance. The ideal implant location was digitally determined using pre-operative CT images, and the accuracy of implant placement was evaluated by comparing the planned implant location with the postoperative location. There were no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) in the degree of implant dislocation (translation and rotation) between the transconjunctival orbital reconstruction and the endoscopic-assisted orbital reconstruction groups. Endoscopic-assisted orbital reconstruction may facilitate the visualization of orbital defects and is particularly useful for training purposes; however, it offers no additional benefits in terms of accurate implant positioning during the anatomical reconstruction of complex orbital defects.

RESUMO

Navigation-assisted orbital reconstruction remains a challenge, because the surgeon focuses on a two-dimensional multiplanar view in relation to the preoperative planning. This study explored the addition of navigation markers in the implant design for three-dimensional (3D) orientation of the actual implant position relative to the preoperative planning for more fail-safe and consistent results. Pre-injury computed tomography (CT) was performed for 10 orbits in human cadavers, and complex orbital fractures (Class III/IV) were created. The orbits were reconstructed using preformed orbital mesh through a transconjunctival approach under image-guided navigation and navigation by referencing orientating markers in the implant design. Ideal implant positions were planned using preoperative CT scans. Implant placement accuracy was evaluated by comparing the planned and realized implant positions. Significantly better translation (3.53 mm vs. 1.44 mm, p = 0.001) and rotation (pitch: -1.7° vs. -2.2°, P = 0.52; yaw: 10.9° vs. 5.9°, P = 0.02; roll: -2.2° vs. -0.5°, P = 0.16) of the placed implant relative to the planned position were obtained by implant-oriented navigation. Navigation-assisted surgery can be improved by using navigational markers on the orbital implant for orientation, resulting in fail-safe reconstruction of complex orbital defects and consistent implant positioning.

RESUMO

Preformed orbital reconstruction plates are useful for treating orbital defects. However, intraoperative errors can lead to misplaced implants and poor outcomes. Navigation-assisted surgery may help optimize orbital reconstruction. We aimed to explore whether navigation-assisted surgery is more predictable than traditional orbital reconstruction for optimal implant placement. Pre-injury computed tomography scans were obtained for 10 cadaver heads (20 orbits). Complex orbital fractures (Class III-IV) were created in all orbits, which were reconstructed using a transconjunctival approach with and without navigation. The best possible fit of the stereolithographic file of a preformed orbital mesh plate was used as the optimal position for reconstruction. The accuracy of the implant positions was evaluated using iPlan software. The consistency of orbital reconstruction was lower in the traditional reconstructions than in the navigation group in the parameters of translation and rotation. Implant position also differed significantly in the parameters of translation (p = 0.002) and rotation (pitch: p = 0.77; yaw: p < 0.001; roll: p = 0.001). Compared with traditional orbital reconstruction, navigation-assisted reconstruction provides more predictable anatomical reconstruction of complex orbital defects and significantly improves orbital implant position.

RESUMO

Spontaneous paresthesia of the mental nerve is considered an ominous clinical sign. Mental nerve paresthesia has also been referred to as numb chin syndrome. Several potentially different factors have been investigated for their role in interfering with the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and causing mental nerve neuropathy. In the present case, the patient had an elongated calcified styloid process that we hypothesized had caused IAN irritation during mandibular movement. This eventually resulted in progressive loss of sensation in the mental nerve region. To our knowledge, this dynamic irritation, with complete recovery after resection of the styloid process, has not been previously reported.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different splitting techniques, namely, "mallet and chisel" versus "spreading and prying", used during bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) on postoperative hypoesthesia outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: We systematically searched the PubMed and Cochrane databases (from January 1957 to November 2012) for studies that examined postoperative neurosensory disturbance (NSD) of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) after BSSO. RESULTS: Our initial PubMed search identified 673 studies, of which, 14 met our inclusion criteria. From these 14 studies, 3 groups were defined: (1) no chisel use (4.1% NSD/site), (2) undefined chisel use (18.4% NSD/site), and (3) explicit chisel use along the buccal cortex (37.3% NSD/site). CONCLUSION: Study heterogeneity and a frequent lack of surgical detail impeded our ability to make precise comparisons between studies. However, the group of studies explicitly describing chisel use along the buccal cortex showed the highest incidence of NSD. Moreover, comparison of the study that did not use chisels with the 2 studies that explicitly described chisel use revealed a possible disadvantage of the "mallet and chisel" group (4.1% versus 37.3% NSD/site). These results suggest that chisel use increases NSD risk after BSSO.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Although the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is a routinely performed procedure, exact control of the lingual fracture line remains problematic. The purpose of this study was to determine the various lingual splitting patterns in cadaveric human mandibles after a BSSO and the possible influence of the mandibular canal and mylohyoid groove on the lingual fracture line. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The investigators designed and implemented a case series to compare different lingual fracture lines. A standardized SSO was performed on 40 cadaveric hemimandibles using elevators and splitting forceps. The primary outcome variable during this study was the lingual fracture pattern possibly influenced by independent variables: the mandibular canal, the mylohyoid groove, and dental status. Descriptive and analytic statistics were computed for each study variable. RESULTS: Most lingual fractures (72.5%) ended in the mandibular foramen. Only 25% of fractures were "true" Hunsuck fractures, and no "bad splits" occurred. In addition, 35% of lingual fractures ran more than halfway or entirely through the mandibular canal, whereas only 30% of fractures ran along the mylohyoid groove. However, when the lingual fracture ran along this groove, it had a 6-fold greater chance of ending in the mandibular foramen. CONCLUSIONS: The hypothesis that the mandibular canal or mylohyoid groove would function as the path of least resistance was only partly confirmed. The use of splitters and separators did not increase the incidence of bad splits compared with the literature.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to evaluate the role of frozen section margin examination in the surgical management of squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed frozen section examination of the resection surfaces of 131 consecutive patients surgically treated for squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip during the period January 1980 to January 1999. When invasive carcinoma or carcinoma in situ was present at the resection surface, the margin was defined as positive and re-resection was performed. RESULTS: A peroperative positive margin was seen in 18 of 131 (14%). In 8 patients (6%), a local recurrence developed. CONCLUSIONS: Frozen section examination for margin assessment in the surgical treatment of lip cancer is a reliable technique to control the radicality of the procedure; a secondary surgical procedure or postoperative radiotherapy can be reduced. However, a tumor-free resection surface does not guarantee that local recurrence will not occur.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Supraomohyoid neck dissection (SOHND) is generally considered an adequate staging procedure in selected patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lip and oral cavity, with clinically negative nodes in the neck that are at increased risk for occult metastatic disease. The potential role of SOHND as a therapeutic surgical procedure for cervical metastasis limited to level I is controversial. METHODS: A series of 44 patients with clinical cervical lymph node metastases at level I from SCC of the lower lip is reported to evaluate the results of a treatment protocol consisting of therapeutic SOHND on indication followed by radiotherapy. RESULTS: Regional recurrences were observed in four (9%) patients. All recurrences developed within the SOHND dissected area only. CONCLUSIONS: A therapeutic SOHND, on indication followed by radiotherapy, can be an oncologically sound and effective procedure in the management of regional lymph node metastases at level I from SCC of the lower lip.
