Objective: Airway obstruction in newborns with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) may be managed with tongue-lip adhesion (TLA), mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO), or tracheostomy to prevent airway compromise when conservative airway interventions fail or are contraindicated based on the type of obstruction present. Unfortunately, some of these procedures have the potential to affect a child's speech and feeding development.
Method: The authors retrospectively reviewed the records of all children with PRS treated at our institution in the last 25 years.
