Article Abstract
Maxillofacial gunshot injuries require proficiency to determine a suitable treatment plan and surgical intervention. In this paper, present 4 gunshot cases. Treatment in these patients is very challenging. Moreover, post-treatment infections are a serious problem in such cases. Thus, step-by-step surgery is essential to obtain a better result in these patients.

The Incidence and Aetiology of Maxillofacial Trauma and Concomitant Traumatic Brain Injury in a Johannesburg Tertiary Hospital.
J Craniofac Surg
January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Objective: To investigate the incidence and etiology of maxillofacial trauma (MFT) and its association with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Background: Anecdotal evidence suggests that there is an association between MFT and TBI and that higher incidences of TBI are associated with frontal bone and mid-facial fractures. Despite the large volume of maxillofacial facial fractures treated in the authors' unit, no study has been undertaken to establish the relationship between TBI and maxillofacial fractures.
Evaluating the Success of Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap in Mandibular Reconstructions in Relation to Defect Localization.
J Maxillofac Oral Surg
December 2024
Independent Author, Private Practice: Prof. Dr. Celal Candirli, Istanbul, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of using pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps (PMMF) to reconstruct mandibular defects, focusing on how success varied by defect location.
- Data from 18 patients aged 28 to 82, treated from 2018 to 2021, were analyzed, revealing that Class I defects had a 100% success rate, while Class III defects had a lower rate of only 16.7% successful outcomes.
- The findings suggest that the location and classification of the defects significantly impacted recovery, with Class III defects experiencing more complications likely due to reduced blood supply to the flaps.

Do Postoperative Surgeon Phone Calls Improve Outcomes Following Mandibular Fracture Repair?
J Oral Maxillofac Surg
January 2025
Associate Professor of Surgery, Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Geisinger Health System, New Orleans, LA. Electronic address:
Background: Complications of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of mandibular fractures are influenced by several patient factors. A postoperative surgeon phone call could modify these factors through education and reinforcement of instructions, but its effect has not been studied.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure and compare the frequencies of postoperative inflammatory complications (POICs) following ORIF of mandibular fractures in patients who did and did not receive a postoperative surgeon phone call.
Prehospital Care Under Fire: Strategies for Evacuating Victims from the Mega Terrorist Attack in Israel on October 7, 2023.

Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.
On October 7, 2023, somewhere around 1,500-3,000 terrorists invaded southern Israel killing 1,200 people, injuring 1,455, and taking 239 as hostages resulting in the largest mass-casualty event (MCE) in the country's history. Most of the victims were civilians who suffered from complex injuries including high-velocity gunshot wounds, blast injuries from rocket-propelled grenades, and burns. Many would later require complex surgeries by all disciplines including general surgeons, vascular surgeons, orthopedists, neurosurgeons, cardiothoracic surgeons, otolaryngologists, oral maxillofacial surgeons, and plastic surgeons.
