Cleft surgeons are always concerned about the impact of their surgical maneuver on the growth of the maxilla. Hypoplastic maxilla, concaved mid-face and deformed dental arch have constantly been reported after cleft treatments. It is very hard to completely circumvent these postoperative complications by current surgical protocols. In this paper, we discussed the factors that inhibit the maxillofacial growth on cleft patients. These factors included pre-surgical intervention, the timing of cleft palate and alveolae repair, surgical design and treatment protocol. Also, we made a review about the influence on the maxillary growth in un-operated cleft patients. On the basis of previous researches, we can conclude that most of scholars express identity of views in these aspects： early palatoplasty lead to maxilla growth inhibition in all dimensions; secondary alveolar bone graft had no influence on maxilla sagittal growth; cleft lip repair inhibited maxilla sagittal length in patients with cleft lip and palate; Veau＇s pushback palatoplasty and Langenbeck＇s palatoplasty with relaxing incisions were most detrimental to growth; Furlow palatoplasty showed little detrimental effect on maxilla growth; timing of hard palate closure, instead of the sequence of hard or soft palate repair, determined the postoperative growth. Stilt, scholars hold controversial viewpoints in some issues, for example, un-operated clefts have normal growth potential or not, pre-surgical intervention and pharyngoplasty inhibited maxillofacial growth or not.展开更多
目的研究0~6岁腭裂患者经Sommerlad-Furlow(SF)法腭裂修复术后上颌牙弓的发育变化影响因素。方法纳入18月龄前行SF法腭裂一期整复的患者共183例,术后在不同年龄段随访并收集上颌牙弓数字化模型,使用3-matic Research 12.0测量牙弓及腭...目的研究0~6岁腭裂患者经Sommerlad-Furlow(SF)法腭裂修复术后上颌牙弓的发育变化影响因素。方法纳入18月龄前行SF法腭裂一期整复的患者共183例,术后在不同年龄段随访并收集上颌牙弓数字化模型,使用3-matic Research 12.0测量牙弓及腭弓的长度和宽度,探究SF法腭裂修复术后患者0~6岁上颌牙弓的发育变化规律,以及性别、年龄、腭裂类型和松弛切口对上颌牙弓发育的影响。结果SF法腭裂修复术后,0~2岁与3~6岁上颌牙弓长度及宽度部分指标差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),3~6岁各年龄段指标间差异无统计学意义;男性后牙弓宽度及后腭弓宽度大于女性(P=0.001),男性前牙弓长度及全牙弓长度小于女性(P<0.05);相较于单纯腭裂组,单侧唇裂伴腭裂组牙弓长度更短(P<0.01),而后腭弓更宽(P<0.01);有无硬腭松弛切口组间上颌牙弓的各指标差异无统计学意义。结论影响0~6岁SF法腭裂修复术后儿童牙弓宽度的主要因素是性别和年龄,而影响牙弓长度的主要因素是年龄和腭裂类型。展开更多

Moreover, racial variation for Asian nose rhinoplasty could even demand sophistication of tip and columella strut graft infrastructure enhancement. Various autogenous graft options such as 6th costal cartilage, septal cartilage and conchal cartilage are very commonly considered whilst the 10th costal cartilage is scarcely reported. Objective and Method: The purpose of this manuscript is to illustrate the detailed operative steps to harvest the 10th costal cartilage for infrastructural grafting at NTC subunits by a case illustration. The pros and cons of different cartilage options will be discussed, particularly its application in cleft nose rhinoplasty in Chinese patient. We have adopted the 10th rib as the key option for NTC reconstruction in 11 cases of Chinese cleft secondary rhinoplasty since 2019 and have achieved good and stable results without complications. Conclusion: The 10th costal cartilage is one of the best options in Nasal Tip Columella subunits reconstruction, particularly in complex cleft nose or failure revision aesthetic rhinoplasty cases, due to its safety of harvesting, and the sufficient quality and quantity of grafting materials it provides for simultaneous adjunctive augmentation purpose.展开更多
