Reconstruction of Composite Mandible Defects Using a Cellular Bone Allograft and Soft Tissue Free Flap Coverage.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Objective: Cellular bone allografts (CBAs) contain the components of a successful bone graft with no autologous component and have been used extensively outside the head and neck. Descriptions of their utilization for mandible reconstruction are limited.

Assessment of opioid use following septorhinoplasty and its association with pain catastrophizing.

Purpose: Anxiety towards pain is correlated with increased post-surgical pain and assessed with the "Pain Catastrophizing Scale" (PCS). We assess patient reported pain and opioid usage following septorhinoplasty and their association with the PCS.

Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled patients over 18 years of age undergoing open septorhinoplasty on an outpatient basis at a single academic institution.

Anesthesia for office-based facial plastic surgery procedures.

Objective: The objective of this study is to provide a state-of-the-art review on the use of anesthetics for in-office facial plastic procedures.

Methods: A search was performed on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Review using the keywords "anesthesia," "office-based procedures," "local anesthesia," "facial plastics," "oral sedation," "moderate sedation," and "deep sedation."

Results And Conclusions: Over the past few decades, the shift toward in-office invasive procedures has increased patient convenience and decreased hospital resource utilization.

Management of the Middle Vault.

Early reductive rhinoplasty techniques focused on hump reduction and tip plasty with minimal focus on treating or preserving the integrity and width of the middle vault. With time, rhinoplasty surgeons noted the aesthetic and functional complications of the deformities that may occur in the middle vault with reduction techniques and developed methods to treat and also avoid these complications. Thus, the importance of protecting the integrity of the middle third of the nose has been increasingly emphasized over the years.
