Surgery of Craniosynostosis and Related Midface Deformities

This atlas offers a comprehensive overview of osteotomies performed on the calvaria for both syndromic and non-syndromic craniosynostosis and midface plus mandibular surgery in syndromic cases. It presents a systematic approach, beginning with a unique approach to calvarial osteotomies, that when combined with standardized osteotomies ensures highly predictable results that are not currently described in textbooks. Clinical examples are included for each type of synostosis and various combinations, including two-stage procedures and combinations with distraction techniques. The examples for midface osteotomies provide surgeons with a solid foundation for addressing different cases, including all types of LeFort-I to III osteotomies and their combinations. Osteotomies, osteosynthesis, distraction techniques, and combinations are illustrated using clinical examples. Additionally, the book demonstrates the method of computer planning, the fabrication of osteotomy guides, and the use ofpreformed plates to define the position of the segments for bimaxillary osteotomies.

The primary objective of Surgery of Craniosynostosis and Related Midface Deformities: An Atlas and Step-by-Step Guide is to serve as a surgical guide that transcends the boundaries of medical specialties. Given that this type of surgery is often performed by different specialists across institutions and countries, the book aims to facilitate cooperation and provide a practical application tool for surgeons beyond offering a clinical overview.
