Article Synopsis
  • Lentigo maligna (LM) and LM melanoma (LMM) are challenging to surgically remove due to unclear boundaries, especially on the face where minimizing tissue excision is important.
  • This study evaluated the long-term effectiveness of using Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM) alongside the "spaghetti" surgical technique for excising LM/LMM in 70 patients.
  • Findings showed a 5.7% recurrence rate over an average of 6.3 years, with the RCM method achieving effective margin clearance (2.7 mm) while reducing tissue removal compared to traditional methods (6.7 mm).

Introduction: Long-term enophthalmos and diplopia resulting from orbital bone loss pose significant challenges in reconstructive surgery. This study evaluated the effectiveness of patient-specific porous titanium implants (PSIs) for addressing these conditions.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study involved 12 patients treated at Croix-Rousse Hospital, Lyon, from April 2015 to April 2022 who underwent late reconstruction via PSI for unilateral complex orbital bone loss.

Objective: Cleft lip and palate are the most common craniofacial malformations worldwide. The alveolar cleft is treated with a bone graft, between 4 and 7 years of age in mixed dentition. This is an important step because it provides good quality jawbone and a better support of the lip and the alar cartilage on the side of the cleft.

Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate sclerotherapy using consecutive polidocanol and bleomycin foam (CPBF) for large untreated venous malformations (VMs) and/or those resistant to prior treatment.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included all patients treated with CPBF for untreated VMs larger than 10 mL and/or refractory to treatment between May 2016 and October 2019. Baseline and follow-up VM volumes were measured on fat-suppressed T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.

The aim of this case series was to complete the literature with six other cases of orthognathic surgery in patients treated with bisphosphonate (BP). The majority of studies concerning oral and maxillofacial surgery focus on dental extractions and implant placement in patients treated with BP. Only 5 cases of orthognathic surgery in patients treated with BP have been reported: four cases for osteogenesis imperfecta and one case for osteoporosis.
