Pierre Robin sequence is the constellation of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and tongue-based airway obstruction. When airway obstruction is severe, feeding, growth, and respiratory demise are at risk. Neonatal mandibular distraction osteogenesis is a technique which improves tongue-based airway obstruction and avoids tracheostomy in patients with severe expressions of Pierre Robin sequence. Its efficacy in relieving airway obstruction is well documented, and it has become the surgical intervention...

Synovial cell sarcomas are malignant tumors originating from pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells, unlike its name. It is a common tumor in the periarticular area, accounting for 8% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Head and neck are among the rarest areas of this tumor. Synovial sarcomas of the head and neck are more aggressive than those seen in other regions and are associated with remarkable mortality and morbidity. Treatment of synovial sarcomas of the head and neck is usually extensive local excision...

The nose plays both an aesthetic and functional role in the human body. Physiologically, the nose is an important part of the upper airway. Aesthetically, it is the central focal point of the face. Thus, rhinoplasty has evolved to be both an aesthetic and functional surgery, as the manipulation of the aesthetic subunits of the nose inadvertently leads to the functional alterations of the nose. While the aesthetic goals of rhinoplasty are well described in the literature, functional outcomes from...

The aim of this paper is to review the origin, physical properties, advantages, and usage of catgut in plastic surgery and oral surgery. In PubMed search, the search terms (“catgut” AND [“plastic surgery” OR “facelift”]) and (“catgut” AND “oral surgery”) were used, resulting in 28 and 30 papers, respectively. Of those 58 papers, 31 papers were excluded. Eight other papers were added; therefore, 35 papers were analyzed. Catgut has been used in cleft palate surgery since 1938. In 1976, it was...

Surgical infiltration of liposomal bupivacaine in the adult population has been shown to decrease perioperative use of opioids, but there have been few studies conducted in the pediatric surgical population. The authors’ objective was to assess the effect of liposomal bupivacaine on opioid reduction in the pediatric alveolar cleft population. The authors hypothesized that the use of surgical site infiltration with liposomal bupivacaine would be associated with decreased post-operative opioid requirements...

A 33-year-old male patient was admitted to the clinic with seizures and progressive neurologic symptoms. In the family history of the patient, a first degree relative had a history of hydatid cyst surgery. Cranial computed tomography images showed intracranial cysts and calcifications. Thus, it was suspected that it might be hydatid cyst. However, the patient was diagnosed with leukoencephalopathy with intracranial calcifications and cysts, a rare neurologic entity by advanced radiologic imaging,...

Schwannomas are the most common benign tumors arising from the peripheral nerve sheath, and the intraoral location is very atypical, representing less than 1% of all cases. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, and a variety of surgical approaches have been described. The authors report the first described case of tongue base schwannoma treated with transoral robotic surgery (TORS). A 47-years-old female patient complaining mild dysphagia and snoring, presented a submucosal swelling at the...

Schwannoma is a benign slow growing nerve sheath tumor that is typically encapsulated and composed of well-differentiated schwann cells. Schwannomas may take origin from different nerves such as cranial, spinal nerves, and the sympathetic chain. Approximately 25% to 45% of all occur in the head and neck only 1% of them are located in the oral cavity. However, it is quite rare to for schwannomas to form on the tongue base. Ancient schwannoma is the rarest, and also extremely rare in oropharynx. A...

The goals of cleft palate repair are well-established; however, there does exist difference in practice patterns regarding the most appropriate patient age for palatoplasty. The optimal timing is debated and influenced by cleft type, surgical technique, and the surgeon's training. The objective of this study was to compare the rates of post-operative fistula formation and velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) in “early” versus “standard” cleft palate repair in a cohort of patients treated at a single...
