Background: The physiology and geometry of the keystone flap (KF) are the main factors that support its development. This study reports our experience using the KF and proposes the concept of pedicular area.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted from October 2014 to December 2016, in which 112 KF procedures were performed with an average follow-up time of 10 months.
Background: The Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) has been defined as the presence of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and respiratory obstruction in the neonatal period. Since its original description, different therapeutic approaches have been proposed obtaining different success rates, but there is no consensus about its management.
Methods: A literature review was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases, for the period of January,1985 to November, 2016.
