Comparing Current Practice Habits for Treatment of Subcondylar Fracture Among Craniomaxillofacial Surgeons.

Study Design: Survey.

Objective: Subcondylar fractures stand out as a particular challenge when treating maxillofacial trauma. The fracture site is often difficult to access and adjacent to critical structures like the facial nerve.

Intracranial malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor: A case report and comprehensive literature review.

Background: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare malignant soft-tissue sarcomas arising from peripheral nerves. Little data exist regarding MPNST originating intracranially. Here, we present a 7/8 nerve complex MPNST, discuss the treatment strategy and patient outcome, and provide a comprehensive review of existing literature.

Evaluation of Mobile and Digital Single-Lens Reflex Photography for Facial Surgical Analysis.

Objectives: High-quality perioperative photography is imperative to good surgical planning in facial reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. We explore the utility of an add-on smartphone telephoto lens to avoid the distortions noted in prior studies using smartphone cameras.

Methods: Standard perioperative photographs of the same subject were taken with three distinct cameras using a dual-ring light setup.

Perceptions of Attractiveness in Dorsal Aesthetic Lines of the Nose: A Crowd Sourcing Analysis.

Some surgeons have recently advocated for a fusiform pattern with a flare around the keystone area over the more traditional straight/curvilinear shape for the ideal shape of the nasal dorsal aesthetic lines (DALs). To compare the lay persons judgment of what constitutes an ideal nasal dorsum outline. An observational crowdsourcing survey-based study was designed and conducted by the authors to determine how the public viewed these two nasal dorsum aesthetic configurations.

Non-Surgical Devices for Nasal Obstruction.

Nasal obstruction is a common presenting complaint in most otolaryngology practices. A reduction of nasal airflow can contribute to exercise intolerance, snoring, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and an overall decreased quality of life. When medical management for non-anatomical issues fails to resolve the obstruction, surgeries targeting nasal obstruction-namely septorhinoplasty and/or inferior turbinate reduction are often considered.

Utilization of Rhinoplasty Worksheets among Practicing Facial Plastic Surgeons.

Unlabelled: Rhinoplasty is the most commonly performed procedure by facial plastic surgeons, yet many consider it the most complex and variable surgery performed. Yet no standardized surgical worksheet has been established to document the maneuvers and anatomical changes made despite the known high rate of revision surgery. This study aimed to assess the utility and utilization of rhinoplasty surgical worksheets amongst facial plastic surgeons, as well as the perceptions and attitudes toward standardization of a common rhinoplasty surgical worksheet.
