Surgical osteoplasty and soft tissue excision as treatment for facial deformities in patients with renal osteodystrophy: three case reports.

Background: Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) may occur in patients presenting chronic kidney disease (CKD), leading to laboratory test alterations and changes in bone turnover with extra-skeletal calcifications. Treatment involves the medical management of secondary hyperparathyroidism, potential total parathyroidectomy, and surgical interventions concerning calcifications if causing facial deformities with esthetic and functional repercussions. In this context, the aim of the present study is to describe three cases of facial deformities caused by ROD treated through cosmetic-functional surgeries.
