Le Fort I osteotomy to enucleation of grand proportions fissural cyst—presentation of case report

Fissural cysts (FC) are caused by entraped epithelium between nasal and maxilar processes. They are commonly treated with surgical enucleation precedded or not by marsupialization depending on the cyst size. Biopsy of lesion is recommended due to confirm radiographic evaluation. It is rare to observe Le Fort I surgical approach to this type of injury. This study reports the case of an uncommon ...

Le Fort I Osteotomy for Maxillary Repositioning and Distraction Techniques

Transmaxillary Sinus Approach for Le Fort II Osteotomy

The Le Fort II osteotomy is a relatively rare operation. The posterior wall osteotomy of the maxillary sinus (MS) is often difficult for Le Fort III. We developed the transmaxillary sinus approach (TSA) for the Le Fort II osteotomy that cuts the posterior wall of the MS directly. This report illustrates this easy-to-use procedure for the Le Fort II osteotomy in syndromic craniosynostosis. This ...

Surgical correction of septal deviation after Le Fort I osteotomy

BACKGROUND The Le Fort I osteotomy is one of the most widely used and useful procedure to correct the dentofacial deformities of the midface. The changes of the maxilla position affect to overlying soft tissue including the nasal structure. Postoperative nasal septum deviation is a rare and unpredicted outcome after the surgery. There are only a few reports reporting the management of this comp...

Delayed presentation of pseudoaneurysm after Le Fort I osteotomy.

Although the osteotome is positioned in close vicinity to the maxillary artery and its branches during ptergomaxillary separation in a Le Fort I osteotomy, postoperative complications from vascular injuries are rare. The following report describes an unusual occurrence of a maxillary artery pseudoaneurysm following a Le Fort I and bilateral sagittal-split osteotomies for correction of mandibula...
