Objectives: To present an interdisciplinary case treated with a surgery-first orthognathic approach, followed by orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment.
Clinical Considerations: After an accurate pre-operative virtual planning, a young patient with skeletal class II, retrognathia, and an anterior open bite was treated with bimaxillary orthognathic surgery without pre-surgical orthodontic decompensation. Orthodontic treatment was carried out post-operatively. The treatment was completed with a prosthodontic phase to improve the final esthetic outcome of the smile.
Conclusions: A surgery-first approach allowed to achieve esthetic and functional results in a reduced treatment duration that remained stable over the course of 1 year. The outcomes were consistent with prior research in terms of advantages brought by following an accurately planned surgery-first protocol. Nevertheless, longer-term follow-up was required to evaluate the treatment stability.
Clinical Significance: An accurately planned surgery-first approach significantly helped in shortening the duration of the treatment, while providing a stable, functional, and esthetic solution to the patient's problems.

Is the orthodontics-first method more stable than the surgery-first approach for orthognathic correction of maxillary deficiency?

This study was carried out to compare the stability of Le Fort I maxillary advancement between the surgery-first approach (SFA) and the orthodontics-first approach (OFA), and to evaluate the impact of the quality of postoperative occlusion on maxillary stability. In total, 26 patients (13 SFA and 13 OFA) were included in this study. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans taken at T0 (1 week before surgery), T1 (1 week after surgery), and T2 (6 months after surgery) were used for the assessment of maxillary stability.

Introduction Rectal cancer forms a significant proportion of newly diagnosed colorectal cancer. Treatment of rectal cancer is multi-modal, but surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment of rectal cancer and has undergone significant changes in the last three decades. The advent of minimally invasive techniques has revolutionised the landscape of surgery of the rectum.

The surgery-first approach (SFA) is gaining popularity in orthognathic surgery because it makes treatment duration shorter and more satisfying for patients. However, its effectiveness in complex cases isn't fully understood. Here, we describe a rare case where SFA was used to fix problems caused by missing posterior teeth and a deep bite, which made traditional pre-surgery orthodontic treatment impractical.

Orthognathic surgery, a pivotal treatment for patients with significant facial aesthetic and occlusal concerns, traditionally involves a phased approach comprising preoperative orthodontics, surgery, and postoperative orthodontic treatment. However, the extended duration of conventional methods often leads to patient dissatisfaction. In response, the surgery-first approach (SFA) has emerged as an alternative, aiming to streamline treatment and reduce complexity.

Objective: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a debilitating rheumatic condition that significantly impairs mobility and quality of life through chronic inflammation and spinal fusion. The aim of this study is to investigate the optimal sequencing of spinal osteotomy and total hip replacement (THR) as treatment options, a topic that remains a subject of debate among medical professionals.
Methods: In a retrospective cohort study spanning from 2017 to 2021, we assessed adult patients with AS who underwent both spinal osteotomy and THR, outcome measures involved radiographic assessments like Global Cobb angle, thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK), lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), and sacral slope (SS), as well as clinical metrics such as the Harris hip score.
