Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of orthognathic surgery (OGS) in patients with craniofacial microsomia (CFM) who had previously undergone mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO). DESIGN A retrospective cohort study was performed including all patients with CFM who were treated with OGS at a single institution between 1996 and 2019. The clinical records, operative reports, and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were reviewed. CBCT data before OGS (T1), immediately after OGS (T2), and at long-term follow-up (T3) were analyzed using Dolphin three-dimensional software to measure the occlusal cant and chin point deviation. RESULTS The study included 12 patients with CFM who underwent OGS (6 underwent OGS without MDO and 6 underwent OGS after MDO). There was a statistically significant improvement in occlusal cant and chin point deviation in both groups postoperatively. Occlusal cant relapsed by a mean of 0.6° (standard deviation [SD] 1.1°) in the patients who had OGS alone compared with 0.7° (SD 1.2°) in the patients who had OGS after MDO (P = .745) between T2 and T3. There was no statistically significant difference in chin point relapse between patients who had OGS alone compared with those who had OGS after MDO (0.1 mm [SD 2.5mm] vs 0.7mm [SD 2.2mm]; P = .808). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this study, these findings suggest that OGS after MDO in patients with CFM can produce stable results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Inherent complex angioarchitecture associated with ethmoidal dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) can make endovascular treatment methods challenging. Many surgical approaches are accompanied by unfavorable cosmetic results such as facial scarring. Blepharoplasty incision of the eyelid offers a minimal, well-hidden scar compared with other incision sites while offering the surgeon optimal visualization of pathogenic structures. This case series aims to report an initial assessment of the safety and efficacy of supraorbital craniotomy by blepharoplasty transpalpebral (eyelid) incision for surgical disconnection of ethmoidal dAVFs. METHODS Retrospective chart review was conducted for all patients who underwent blepharoplasty incision and craniotomy for disconnection of ethmoidal dAVFs at our institution between October 2011 and February 2023. Patient charts and follow-up imaging were reviewed to report clinical and angiographic outcomes as well as periprocedural and follow-up complications. RESULTS Complete obliteration and disconnection of ethmoidal dAVF was achieved in all 6 (100%) patients as confirmed by intraoperative angiogram with no resulting morbidity or mortality. Periprocedural complications included one case of transient nasal cerebrospinal fluid leak that was self-limiting and resolved before discharge without intervention. CONCLUSION Surgical treatment for ethmoidal dAVFs, specifically by transpalpebral incision and supraorbital craniotomy, is a safe and effective treatment option and affords the surgeon greater access to the floor of the anterior fossa when necessary. In addition, blepharoplasty incision addressed patient concerns for facial scarring compared with other incision sites by creating a more well-hidden, minimal scar in the natural folds of the eyelid for patients with an eyelid crease.

Abstract
Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) is an early presurgical intervention to facilitate primary cleft lip repair by reducing cleft severity and improving labial and nasal form. However, it continues to be associated with the burden of care that influences access and completion of therapy. The authors, therefore, aim to determine the burden of care of NAM therapy for families seeking treatment at a high-volume urban cleft center. A retrospective study of all patients undergoing primary cleft repair between 2012 and 2020 was performed. Patients were grouped based on whether or not NAM therapy was offered. Variables including physical, psychosocial, and financial factors were assessed. Two hundred and thirty patients underwent primary cleft repair between 2012 and 2020. Of these, 176 patients were indicated for NAM, with 4% discontinuing, and 54 patients did not undergo NAM. The 169 patients who completed NAM had a mean duration of treatment of 13.6±8.8 wks consisting of 15±6 scheduled NAM adjustment visits and 1±1 unscheduled visit made urgently to assess caregiver concerns. The mean travel distance was 28.6±37.1 miles. Eighty-four percent of caregivers were married, and 16% did not have English as a primary language. Though 57% had private insurance, 43% of patients received charity support for their treatment. NAM is a finite presurgical intervention that requires caregivers to participate in patient care for approximately three months of their early life. The decision to pursue NAM should be considered alongside the burden of care for caregivers to complete treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Abbe flap is a standard intervention to treat upper lip deformities in patients with bilateral cleft lip. This two-stage procedure requires a 2 to 3-week period in which the superior and inferior lips remain connected. This study evaluates the safety of Abbe flap division and inset prior to 14 days' time. MATERIALS AND METHODS A single institution, 8-year review of all patients with a bilateral cleft lip who underwent Abbe flap reconstruction was performed. Patients were classified into two groups: those whom division was performed 14 days or later and those with division earlier than 14 days. RESULTS A total of 26 patients were identified. Patients who underwent Abbe flap division in less than 14 days (n = 10) demonstrated an average time to division of 9.7 days (range 7-13 days) with no evidence of flap loss, wound breakdown or infection. Patients who underwent Abbe flap division within 14 days or more (n = 16) demonstrated an average time to division of 15 days with four minor complications and no flap loss. CONCLUSION Dividing the Abbe flap after the first postoperative week appears to be safe and without additional risk to flap loss or wound breakdown. A shorter time to Abbe flap division may decrease the burden of care on patients and their caregivers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many cleft centers incorporate NasoAlveolar Molding (NAM) into their presurgical treatment protocols. However, there are limited data on eligible patients who do not receive or complete NAM. This study characterizes the demographics associated with non-utilization or completion of NAM. METHODS A single-institution retrospective review was performed of all patients with cleft lip and alveolus undergoing primary unilateral and bilateral cleft lip repair from 2012-2020. Patients were grouped based on utilization or non-utilization of NAM. Demographic and treatment data were collected, including documented reasons for not pursuing or completing NAM. RESULTS Of 230 eligible patients, 61 patients (27%) did not undergo or complete NAM (no-NAM). In this group, 37 (60.7%) received no presurgical intervention, 12 (19.7%) received presurgical nostril retainers, 3 (4.9%) received lip taping, 1 (1.6%) received a combination of taping/nostril retainers, and 8 (13.1%) discontinued NAM. The most common reasons for not receiving NAM were sufficiently aligned cleft alveolus (21.3%), medical complexity (16.4%), late presentation (16.4%), and alveolar notching (18%). Compared to the NAM group, the no-NAM group had significantly lower rates of prenatal cleft diagnosis/consult, and significantly higher proportion of non-married and non-English speaking caregivers. Multivariable analysis controlling for insurance type, primary language, prenatal consult, marital status, and age at first appointment found that age at first appointment is the only statistically significant predictor of NAM utilization (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Common reasons for non-utilization of NAM include well-aligned cleft alveolus, medical complexity, and late presentation. Early presentation is an important modifiable factor affecting rates of NAM utilization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary cleft nasal repair can include septal reconstruction. We hypothesize that primary cleft septoplasty and adult septoplasty have fundamental differences that render these procedures as distinct surgical entities. DESIGN Systematic review of the PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases performed on pediatric cleft and general adult septoplasty techniques through December 2021. (PROSPERO ID CRD42022295763). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Collected data included information on septal dissection, septal detachment, and management of the bony and cartilaginous septum. RESULTS Twenty-eight pediatric cleft septoplasty and 229 adult septoplasty studies were included. Dissection in primary cleft septoplasty was limited to the anterocaudal septum, while secondary cleft septoplasty and adult septoplasty techniques entailed wide exposures of the cartilaginous septum with or without exposure of the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid. In primary cleft septoplasty, detachment of the septum was mostly limited to the nasal spine and anterior base of the cartilaginous septum, while secondary cleft septoplasty and adult septoplasty included detachment from the vomer, and ethmoid. In the few reports of cartilage excision during primary cleft septoplasty, removal was limited to the anterior inferior border of the septum, while secondary cleft septoplasty and adult septoplasty included excision of the cartilaginous and bony septum. CONCLUSION Primary cleft septoplasty is distinct from septoplasty performed on facially mature patients. More specifically, septal dissection and detachment are limited to the anterior caudal area during primary lip repair, with rare removal of cartilage or bone. Given these differences, the authors suggest the term "septal reset" to describe septoplasty performed during primary cleft nasal repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term effects of nasoalveolar molding (NAM) on patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) are unknown. The authors report clinical outcomes of facially mature patients with complete BCLP who underwent NAM and gingivoperiosteoplasty (GPP). METHODS A single-institution retrospective study of nonsyndromic patients with complete BCLP who underwent NAM between 1991 and 2000 was performed. All study patients were followed to skeletal maturity, at which time a lateral cephalogram was obtained. The total number of cleft operations and cephalometric measures was compared with a previously published external cohort of patients with complete and incomplete BCLP in which a minority (16.7%) underwent presurgical orthopedics before cleft lip repair without GPP. RESULTS Twenty-four patients with BCLP comprised the study cohort. All patients underwent GPP, 13 (54.2%) underwent alveolar bone graft, and nine (37.5%) required speech surgery. The median number of operations per patient was five (interquartile range, two), compared with eight (interquartile range, three) in the external cohort ( P < 0.001). Average age at the time of lateral cephalogram was 18.64 years (1.92). There was no significant difference between our cohort and the external cohort with respect to sella-nasion-point A angle (SNA) [73 degrees (6 degrees) versus 75 degrees (11 degrees); P = 0.186] or sella-nasion-point B angle (SNA) [78 degrees (6 degrees) versus 74 degrees (9 degrees); P = 0.574]. Median ANB (SNA - SNB) was -3 degrees (5 degrees) compared with -1 degree (7 degrees; P = 0.024). Twenty patients (83.3%) underwent orthognathic surgery. CONCLUSION Patients with BCLP who underwent NAM and GPP had significantly fewer total cleft operations and mixed midface growth outcomes at facial maturity compared with patients who did not undergo this treatment protocol. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To define "high osteotomy" and determine the feasibility of performing this procedure. DESIGN Single institution, retrospective review. SETTING Academic tertiary referral hospital. PATIENTS, PARTICIPANTS 34 skeletally mature, nonsyndromic patients with unilateral CLP who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy between 2013 and 2020. Patients with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans completed both pre- (T1) and post-operatively (T2) were included. Patients with bilateral clefts and rhinoplasty prior to post-operative imaging were excluded. INTERVENTIONS Single jaw one-piece Le Fort I advancement surgery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Measurements of the superior ala and inferior turbinates were taken from the post-operative CBCT. RESULTS The sample included 26 males and 8 females, 12 right- and 22 left-sided clefts. The inferior turbinates are above the superior alar crease at a rate of 73.53% and 76.48% on the cleft and non-cleft sides, respectively. One (2.9%) osteotomy cut was above the level of the cleft superior alar crease, and no cuts were above the level of the non-cleft superior ala. On average, the superior ala was 2.63 mm below the inferior turbinates. The average vertical distances from the superior alar crease and the inferior turbinates to the base of the non-cleft side pyriform aperture were 12.17 mm (95% CI 4.00-20.34) and 14.80 mm (95% CI 4.61-24.98), respectively. To complete a "high osteotomy," with 95% confidence, the cut should be 20.36 mm from the base of the pyriform aperture. CONCLUSIONS A "high" osteotomy is not consistently possible due to the relationship between the superior alar crease and the inferior turbinate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cleft lip repair has traditionally been performed as an inpatient procedure. There has been an interest toward outpatient cleft lip repair to reduce healthcare costs and avoid unnecessary hospital stay. We report surgical outcomes following implementation of an ambulatory cleft lip repair protocol and hypothesize that an ambulatory repair results in comparable safety outcomes to inpatient repair. DESIGN/SETTING This is a single-institution, retrospective study. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS Patients undergoing primary unilateral (UCL) and bilateral (BCL) cleft lip repair from 2012 to 2021 with a minimum 30-day follow-up. A total of 226 patients with UCL and 58 patients with BCL were included. INTERVENTION Ambulatory surgery protocol in 2016. OUTCOME MEASURES Variables include demographics and surgical data including 30-day readmission, 30-day reoperation, and postoperative complications. RESULTS There were no differences in rates of 30-day readmission, reoperation, wound complications, or postoperative complications between the pre- and post-protocol groups. Following ambulatory protocol implementation, 80% of the UCL group and 56% of the BCL group received ambulatory surgery. Average length of stay dropped from 24 h pre-protocol to 8 h post-protocol. The 20% of the UCL group and 44% of the BCL group chosen for overnight stay had a significantly higher proportion of congenital abnormalities and higher American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) class. Reasons for overnight stay included cardiac/airway monitoring, prematurity, and monitoring of comorbidities. There were no differences in surgical outcomes between the ambulatory and overnight stay groups. CONCLUSIONS An ambulatory cleft lip repair protocol can significantly reduce average length of stay without adversely affecting surgical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to assess cleft rhinoplasty terminology across phases of growth.Design/Setting: A systematic review was performed on cleft rhinoplasty publications over 20 years.Interventions: Studies were categorized by age at surgical intervention: infant (<1 year); immature (1 to 14 years); mature (>15 years).Main Outcome Measures: Collected data included terminology used and surgical techniques. RESULTS The 288 studies included demonstrated a wide range of terminology. In the infant group, 51/54 studies used the term "primary." In the immature group, 7/18 studies used the term "primary," 3/18 used "secondary." In the mature group, 2/33 studies used the term "primary," 16/33 used "secondary," 2/33 used "definitive," 5/33 used terms such as "mature," "adult," and "late," and 8/33 did not use terminology.Surgical technique assessment demonstrated: cleft rhinoplasty at infancy used nostril rim or no nasal incision, immature rhinoplasty used closed and open rhinoplasty incisions; and mature rhinoplasty used a majority of open rhinoplasty. Infant and immature cleft rhinoplasty incorporated septal harvest or spur removal in <10% of cases, whereas these procedures were common in mature rhinoplasty. No studies in infants or immature patients used osteotomies or septal grafts, common techniques in mature rhinoplasty. CONCLUSIONS Current terminology for cleft rhinoplasty is varied and inconsistently applied across stages of facial development. However, cleft rhinoplasty performed at infancy, childhood, and facial maturity are surgically distinct procedures. The authors recommend the terminology "infant," "immature," and "mature" cleft rhinoplasty to accurately describe this procedure within the context of skeletal growth.

Abstract
Lambdoid craniosynostosis (CS) is a congenital anomaly resulting from premature fusion of the cranial suture between the parietal and occipital bones. Predominantly sporadic, it is the rarest form of CS and its genetic etiology is largely unexplored. Exome sequencing of 25 kindreds, including 18 parent-offspring trios with sporadic lambdoid CS, revealed a marked excess of damaging (predominantly missense) de novo mutations that account for ~ 40% of sporadic cases. These mutations clustered in the BMP signaling cascade (P = 1.6 × 10-7), including mutations in genes encoding BMP receptors (ACVRL1 and ACVR2A), transcription factors (SOX11, FOXO1) and a transcriptional co-repressor (IFRD1), none of which have been implicated in other forms of CS. These missense mutations are at residues critical for substrate or target sequence recognition and many are inferred to cause genetic gain-of-function. Additionally, mutations in transcription factor NFIX were implicated in syndromic craniosynostosis affecting diverse sutures. Single cell RNA sequencing analysis of the mouse lambdoid suture identified enrichment of mutations in osteoblast precursors (P = 1.6 × 10-6), implicating perturbations in the balance between proliferation and differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells in lambdoid CS. The results contribute to the growing knowledge of the genetics of CS, have implications for genetic counseling, and further elucidate the molecular etiology of premature suture fusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Utilize 3-dimensional (3D) photography to evaluate the nasolabial changes in infants with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) who underwent nasoalveolar molding (NAM) and primary reconstructive surgery. DESIGN This is a retrospective serial longitudinal study of consecutively enrolled infants from September 2012 to July 2016 with BCLP who underwent NAM before primary lip and nose reconstructive surgery. It included infants who had digital 3dMD stereophotogrammetry records at initial presentation (T1), completion of NAM (T2), and 3 weeks following primary repair (T3). Twelve infants fulfilled the inclusion criteria. 3dMD Vultus software was used to orient images and plot 16 nasolabial points with x, y, z coordinates to obtain the linear and angular measurements. Nasal form changes were measured and analyzed between T1 (0.5 months old), T2 (5 months old), and T3 (6 months old). Intraclass correlation coefficient was performed for intrarater reliability. Averaged data from the 3D images was statistically analyzed from T1 to T2 and T2 to T3 with Wilcoxon tests. Unaffected infant norms from the Farkas publication were used as a control sample. RESULTS After NAM therapy, statistically significant changes in the position of subnasale and labius superius improved nasolabial symmetry. Both retruded after NAM were displaced downward after NAM and surgical correction with respect to soft tissue nasion. The nasal tip's projection was maintained with NAM and surgical correction. The columella lengthened from 1.4 to 4.71 mm following NAM. CONCLUSIONS There was a significant improvement in the nasolabial anatomy after NAM, and this was further enhanced after primary reconstructive surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to measure the association between the magnitude of advancement and dental and skeletal relapse in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP). METHODS A single-institution retrospective cohort study of skeletally matured patients with CLP who underwent isolated Le Fort I advancement surgery between 2013 and 2019 was studied. Patients were included if they had lateral cephalograms or cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) at preoperative (T1), immediately postoperative (T2), and 1-year follow-up (T3). Lateral cephalometric landmarks were digitized and measured. The sample was divided on the basis of the magnitude of skeletal advancement: minor (<5 mm), moderate (≥5 but <10 mm), and major (≥10 mm) advancement groups. The mean advancement and relapse were compared between groups using 1-way ANOVA. Correlation between the amount of surgical advancement and relapse was evaluated. RESULTS Forty-nine patients with nonsyndromic CLP with hypoplastic maxilla met inclusion criteria and the sample consisted of 36 males and 13 females with the mean age of 19.5 years. In the minor, moderate, and major advancement groups, the mean advancement at point A was +4.1 ± 0.4, + 7.5 ± 1.4, and +11.3 ± 1.3 mm, respectively. At 1-year follow-up, the mean relapse at point A was -1.3 ± 1.2, -1.1 ± 1.2, and -1.7 ± 1.5 mm, respectively. There was no significant difference in the relapse amount between all surgical groups. No correlation between the magnitude of advancement and relapse was found. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated no statistically significant difference in skeletal stability between a minor (<5 mm), moderate (≥5 but <10 mm), and major (≥10 mm) Le Fort I advancement groups in patients with clefts. Regardless of the degree of advancement, mild skeletal relapse was observed in all 3 groups.

Abstract
The Le Fort III advancement was first described in 1950 and has since become a key technique in the armamentarium of craniofacial surgeons. The application of distraction osteogenesis to the craniofacial skeleton has allowed for large movements to be performed safely in young patients. This technique is valuable for correcting exorbitism, airway obstruction owing to midface retrusion, and class III malocclusion. It can be performed with either an external distractor or internal distractors. Although serious complications have been reported, these occur rarely when performed by experienced providers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluates skeletal and dental outcomes of LeFort I advancement surgery in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) with varying degrees of maxillary skeletal hypoplasia. DESIGN Retrospective study. METHOD Lateral cephalograms were digitized at preoperative (T1), immediately postoperative (T2), and 1-year follow-up (T3) and compared to untreated unaffected controls. Based on the severity of cleft maxillary hypoplasia, the sample was divided into 3 groups using Wits analysis: mild: ≤0 to ≥-5 mm; moderate: <-5 to >-10 mm; and severe: ≤-10 mm. PARTICIPANTS Fifty-one patients with nonsyndromic CLP with hypoplastic maxilla who met inclusion criteria. INTERVENTION LeFort I advancement. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Skeletal and dental stability post-LeFort I surgery at a 1-year follow-up. RESULTS At T2, LeFort I surgery produced an average correction of maxillary hypoplasia by 6.4 ± 0.6, 8.1 ± 0.4, and 10.7 ± 0.8 mm in the mild, moderate, and severe groups, respectively. There was a mean relapse of 1 to 1.5 mm observed in all groups. At T3, no statistically significant differences were observed between the surgical groups and controls at angle Sella, Nasion, A point (SNA), A point, Nasion, B point (ANB), and overjet outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS LeFort I advancement produces a stable correction in mild, moderate, and severe skeletal maxillary hypoplasia. Overcorrection is recommended in all patients with CLP to compensate for the expected postsurgical skeletal relapse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to assess the effect of nasoalveolar molding (NAM) versus no-NAM on nasal morphology in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) at the time of nasal maturity. METHODS A retrospective, single-institution review was conducted on all non-syndromic patients with UCLP. Inclusion criteria included age 14 years or above, unilateral cleft repair at the time of infancy, and adequate photography taken at nasal maturity and prior to rhinoplasty. Exclusion criteria included age less than 14 years, syndromic diagnosis, and rhinoplasty prior to nasal maturity. Ten parameters were measured twice from standardized clinical photographs using the Dolphin Imaging Software for establishment of intrarater reliability. Subjective analysis was achieved through completion of the Asher McDade grading scale by 3 expert cleft practitioners. RESULTS Nostril height, columellar angle, alar cant, vertical alar height, alar height angle, nasofacial angle, and nasolabial angle were found to be significantly less severe in patients who had undergone NAM in conjunction with surgical repair when compared with those who had undergone surgical repair alone. Asher McDade grading revealed significant improvement in nasal form, nasal symmetry/deviation, nasal profile, vermillion border, and overall score in patients who underwent NAM compared to no-NAM. CONCLUSION The use of presurgical NAM during infancy can improve nasal symmetry and nasal proportions at the time of nasal maturity.

Abstract
Inflammatory orbital lesions include a broad list of diagnoses, many of them with overlapping clinical and radiographic features. They often present a diagnostic conundrum, even to the most experienced orbital specialist, thus placing considerable weight on surgical biopsy and histopathological analysis. However, histopathological diagnosis is also inherently challenging due to the rarity of these lesions and the overlaps in histologic appearance among distinct disease entities. We herein present the case of an adolescent male with a subacutely progressive orbital mass that generated a significant diagnostic dilemma. Early orbital biopsy was consistent with a benign fibro-inflammatory lesion, but corticosteroid therapy was ineffective in halting disease progression. After an initial substantial surgical debulking, histopathological analysis revealed several key features consistent with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), a systemic fibro-inflammatory process typically accompanied by multifocal tumor-like lesions. Surprisingly, within months, there was clear evidence of clinical and radiographic disease progression despite second-line rituximab treatment, prompting a second surgical debulking. This final specimen displayed distinctive features of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by uncontrolled histiocytic proliferation. Interestingly, certain features of this re-excision specimen were still reminiscent of IgG4-RD, which not only reflects the difficulty in differentiating RDD from IgG4-RD in select cases, but also illustrates that these diagnoses may exist along a spectrum that likely reflects a common underlying pathogenetic mechanism. This case emphasizes the importance of surgical biopsy or resection and histopathological analysis in diagnosing—and, ultimately, treating—rare, systemic inflammatory diseases involving the orbit, and, furthermore, highlights the shared histopathological features between RDD and IgG4-RD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review aims to evaluate nasoalveolar molding (NAM) in the context of burden of care defined as physical, psychosocial, or financial burden on caregivers. SEARCH METHODS Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, 5 databases were searched from inception through December 24, 2019, for keywords and subject headings pertaining to cleft lip and/or palate and NAM. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Clinical studies on NAM with reference to physical (access to care, number of visits, distance traveled), psychosocial (caregiver perceptions, family interactions, breast milk feeding), and financial (direct and indirect costs) burden were included. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Study selection was performed by 2 independent reviewers. RESULTS The search identified 1107 articles and 114 articles remained for qualitative synthesis. Burden of care domains were discussed but not measured in 43% of articles and only 25% assessed burden of care through a primary outcome. Of these, 20 articles reported on physical, 8 articles on psychosocial, and 12 articles on financial burden. Quality of evidence is limited by study design and risk of bias. CONCLUSION Nasoalveolar molding has been indiscriminately associated with burden of care in the literature. Although NAM may not be the ideal treatment option for all patients and families, the physical considerations are limited when accounting for the observed psychosocial advantages. Financial burden appears to be offset, but further research is required. Teams should directly assess the impact of this early intervention on the well-being of caregivers and advance strategies that improve access to care.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Septal deviation commonly occurs in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP); however, the contribution of the cartilaginous and bony septum to airway obstruction in skeletally mature patients is poorly understood. OBJECTIVES To describe the internal nasal airway anatomy of skeletally mature patients with CLP and to determine the contributors to airway obstruction. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This single-center retrospective review included patients undergoing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) from November 1, 2011, to July 6, 2015, at the cleft lip and palate division of a major academic tertiary referral center. Patients met inclusion criteria for the study if they were at least 15 years old at the time of CBCT, and images were used only if they were obtained before Le Fort I osteotomy and/or formal septorhinoplasty. Twenty-four skeletally mature patients with CLP and 16 age-matched control individuals were identified for the study. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Septal deviation and airway stenosis were measured in the following 3 coronal sections: at the cartilaginous septum (anterior nasal spine), bony septum (posterior nasal spine), and midpoint between the anterior and posterior nasal spine. The perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone and vomer displacement were measured as angles from the vertical plane at the coronal section of maximal septal deviation. The site of maximal septal deviation was identified. RESULTS Among the 40 study participants, 26 were male. The mean (SD) age was 21 (5) and 23 (6) years for patients with CLP and controls, respectively. Septal deviation in patients with CLP was significantly worse than that of controls at the anterior nasal spine (2.1 [0.5] vs 0.8 [0.2] mm; P < .05) and posterior nasal spine (2.9 [0.5] vs 1.0 [0.3] mm; P < .01) and most severe at the midpoint (mean [SD], 4.4 [0.6] vs 2.1 [0.3] mm; P < .01). The point of maximal septal deviation occurred in the bony posterior half of the nasal airway in 27 of 40 patients (68%). The CLP bony angular deviation from the vertical plane was significant in the CLP group compared with the control group (perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, 14° [2°] vs 8° [1°]; vomer, 34° [5°] vs 13° [2°]; P < .05 for both), and vomer deviation was significantly associated with anterior nasal airway stenosis (r = -0.61; P < .01). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Skeletally mature patients with CLP have significant septal deviation involving bone and cartilage. Resection of the bony and cartilaginous septum should be considered at the time of definitive cleft rhinoplasty. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA.

Abstract
Craniofacial surgeons perform operations that involve exposure of the dura. Typical procedures include cranial vault remodeling (CVR), fronto-orbital advancement (FOA), Le Fort III, monobloc, bipartition advancement, or distraction. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulas remain one of the most common complications encountered, occurring in up to 30% of patients. Cerebrospinal fluid fistulas can be encountered intraoperatively, acutely, or in the late postoperative period. Traditional management has been well described in the neurosurgical literature. While several studies of complications exist, there is a relative lack of adequate information for craniofacial surgeons. The authors review current literature and provide 3 patients to illustrate our management paradigm.The authors review 30 years of experience at our institution and the pertinent literature. The mean rate of CSF fistula was 11.2%; rates were lowest for FOA/CVR, 5.5%. Patients with fistulas persisting after 2 days of conservative therapy or whom were symptomatic prompted placement of a lumbar subarachnoid catheter. Failure of the leak to resolve with CSF diversion prompted exploration and therapy which could include a patch, pericranial flap, and/or endonasal repair with septal flaps. Three patients are used to illustrate the paradigm, all of which have had no recurrence thus far.Cerebrospinal fluid fistula remains one of most common complications craniofacial surgeons encounter. Although neurosurgeons are often part of the clinical team, the craniofacial surgeon should be familiar with all aspects of treatment. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate knowledgeable management may avoid morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
A subset of hydrocephalic patients in whom shunts are placed at an early age will develop craniocerebral disproportion (CCD), an iatrogenic mismatch between the fixed intracranial volume and the growing brain. The lack of a reliable, reproducible method to diagnose this condition, however, has hampered attempts to treat it appropriately. For those practitioners who acknowledge the need to create more intracranial space in these patients, the lack of agreed-upon therapeutic end points for cranial vault expansion has limited the use of such techniques and has sometimes led to problems of underexpansion. Here, the authors present a definition of CCD based primarily on the temporal correlation of plateau waves on intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and headache exacerbation. The authors describe a technique of exploiting continued ICP monitoring during progressive cranial expansion in which the goal of distraction is the cessation of plateau waves. Previously encountered problems of underexpansion may be mitigated through the simultaneous use of ICP monitors and gradual cranial expansion over time.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Beginning in 2004, we modified our surgical technique for a cranial vault remodeling in sagittal and lambdoid synostosis. Beginning in the early 1990s, we started using a calvarial vault remodeling technique in sagittal and lambdoid synostosis that involves removing the posterior two thirds of the skull, extending from the coronal suture to below the lambdoid suture to within 1-1.5 cm of the foramen magnum. Up until 2004, the bone fixation evolved from wire fixation, then micro-metallic fixation plates and resorbable sutures. DISCUSSION Over the last 9 years, we have used a novel technique of absorbable fixation plates and a polydioxanone suture trellis or lattice network, which has reduced operating times significantly and continued to give excellent results. Additional advantages include the absence of a need for molding or protective helmets, the absence of bony defects at the completion of the procedure, the absence of age limitation, and the ability to correct the tightly constricted occiput. CONCLUSION To date, we have had no significant complications, no return to operating room, and the aesthetics have held up well since its introduction.

Abstract
Advances in medicine have enabled more craniopagus twins to survive separation, but the ultimate goal, to have both twins emerge from their separation with full neurologic function and a chance at leading independent and productive lives, remains elusive. The authors were contacted to evaluate craniopagus conjoined male infant twins for separation. Once it was determined that the brains were separate, they reviewed the literature and elected to design an open-ended multistaged separation. Four major stages over 9 and a half months led to the successful separation and preservation of neurologic function. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first such outcome in such a case. This article reviews the pertinent literature and discusses the authors' rationale and methodology.

Abstract
CASE REPORT We present the case of 2-year-old craniopagus twins who are in the process of undergoing a staged separation of their craniums. In addition, they will undergo a full calvarial vault remodeling to reconstruct the lacking skull and scalp tissue in each child. We elected to do a staged separation rather than a single marathon operation for various reasons, which we will detail in this report. DISCUSSION The philosophy and surgical management of each step will be discussed along with the pros and cons behind the reasoning that was used. At the time of this report the children have undergone three of what are projected to be four stages of separation. Each of the stages has had unique characteristics and surgical judgments involved, and those will be reviewed. CONCLUSION Successful separation of viable conjoined twins has been historically a great rarity. Successful separation of twins where both have come out of surgery without any neurological deficit remains a rare occurrence and in our mind the ultimate goal.

Abstract
Construction of the congenitally absent ear is a particular challenge. It represents the true essence of plastic surgery in that it not only requires sound surgical principles but artistic skill. Although a solid familiarity with the stages is important, the surgeon's own experience will direct gradual modification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We present a case of partial facial duplication in a male infant. METHODS The clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings for this patient are described, followed by a review of the literature. RESULTS Craniofacial duplication is a rare form of conjoined twinning and presents in a wide spectrum, from dicephalus to diprosopus to partial facial duplication. Many of these cases can be diagnosed prenatally. Prenatal assessment of our patient revealed only agenesis of the corpus callosum. CONCLUSIONS The pathogenesis is believed to involve duplication of the notochord. Where there are more severe associated anomalies, the prognosis is poor. Partial facial duplication, as in our case, is associated with fewer anomalies, and the prognosis is better. Symmetry and an excess of tissue, rather than deficiency, favor a positive result.

Abstract
We present 6 patients who do not satisfy the criteria for inclusion into any known diagnostic group, although they share similar physical findings. All had facial findings suggestive of either mild deformational plagiocephaly or craniofacial microsomia; however, hypertrophic and occasionally hyperactive muscles of the face appear to be the unifying and distinctive feature of the group. Contraction of hypertrophic postauricular muscles on the affected side resulted in movement and contraction of the pinna. Hypertrophy of the mentalis and masseter muscles was also frequently observed. Additionally, anomalous neck musculature was seen in 4 of the 6 patients. In 2 patients, the hypertrophy of certain of these muscles produced enough deformity to warrant excision. This is the first report of such an association in the literature. Possible explanations are discussed.

Abstract
Arthrodesis of the interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints is a technically demanding procedure with significant failure rates. A method of compression arthrodesis that was developed by one of the authors (RWB) using a compression clamp and crossed Kirschner wires is reported. This technique has been used without complication in the successful arthrodesis of 125 consecutive interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal fusions by two of the authors (RWB and JAIG). An in vivo model of small-joint arthrodesis was then developed using the rabbit humeroulnar joint to compare this method of compression clamp arthrodesis with the tension band technique. Biomechanical testing at both 2 and 8 weeks postoperatively showed compression clamp arthrodesis to compare favorably with the tension band technique.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the application of bioabsorbable fixation devices in reconstructive craniofacial procedures in the pediatric population. We reviewed 22 cases in which bioabsorbable plates and screws were used in craniofacial surgery for reconstruction. The procedures were performed in a 7-month period. The patients ranged in age from 5 to 228 months at the time of surgery (mean, 76.7 months). The postoperative clinical follow-up ranged from 2 to 16 weeks. The fixation devices were evaluated with regards to satisfactory fixation at the time of procedure. The postoperative follow-up evaluated clinical wound healing, signs of infection or local inflammation, and visibility or palpability of plates through the skin. All patients except one showed satisfactory wound healing with no sign of infection or local inflammation. The plates provided satisfactory fixation and were not visible through the skin. Two patients had plates that were palpable at the 4-month follow-up period. One patient with repair of a blow-out fracture of the orbit with resorbable mesh had redness and swelling over the wound site 2 weeks postoperatively with resolution 4 weeks postoperatively. Our early experience suggests reabsorbable fixation is an attractive option in pediatric plastic and craniofacial surgery. With further experience, this technology may represent the standard of care in reconstruction of the infant calvarium.

Abstract
Lengthening of the canine mandible using an intraoral distraction device was performed in order to study the effects of distraction on the associated muscles of mastication. Biopsies of the masseter and digastric muscles were taken after lengthening at four different time intervals to assess the temporal changes in the masticatory muscles of 10 dogs. Biopsies of the muscles on the contralateral side also were taken from 6 of these dogs before lengthening to establish a control group. Each biopsy was analyzed histologically and spectophotomerically for RNA, DNA and protein content. The digastric muscle underwent transient atrophy with initiation of distraction but regenerated completely after 48 days of fixation. The masseter muscle was unchanged initially but showed evidence of atrophy only after 20 mm of distraction it continued to exhibit evidence of atrophy during fixation. Protein synthesis was decreased significantly during periods of atrophy in the masseter; no such change was noted in the digastric. Unlike the masseter, the digastric fibers lie in a plane parallel to the vector of distraction. These findings suggest that any muscle affected by skeletal distraction in the same plane or vector (e.g., digastric) adapts with compensatory regeneration and hypertrophy. Moreover, those muscles lying in a different plane (e.g., masseter) show persistent evidence of atrophy with decreased protein synthesis.

Abstract
The salvage rate of degloved amputation of the fingers is as low as 50%. This case report consists of a multiple-finger degloving amputation characterized by intact tendons, pulleys, and bone, but avulsed neurovascular bundles. After replantation, the range of motion of the fingers was nearly full. Protective-to-light touch sensation was obtained with transpositional digital nerve transfers. Grasp strength was 80% that of the uninjured side. In addition to good functional recovery, the aesthetic appearance obtained by replantation of the degloved skin was far better than that obtained by other reconstruction methods. A first web space flap was used to release a flexion contracture of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the middle finger.

Abstract
The disadvantages of autogenous bone grafts has prompted a search for a dependable onlay bone graft substitute. A combination of tricalcium phosphate, a resorbable ceramic, and osteogenin, an osteoinductive protein, was evaluated as an onlay bone graft substitute in a rabbit calvarial model. Twenty-eight tricalcium phosphate implants (15 mm diameter x 5 mm; pore size, 100-200 microns) were divided into experimental and control groups and placed on the frontal bone of 14 adult New Zealand White rabbits. In the experimental animals, 185 micrograms of osteogenin was added to each implant. In the control animals, the implants were placed untreated. Implants were harvested at intervals of 1, 3, and 6 months, and evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin histology, microradiography, and histomorphometric scanning electron microscope backscatter image analysis. At 1 month there was minimal bone ingrowth and little tricalcium phosphate resorption in both the osteogenin-treated and control implants. At 3 months, both the osteogenin-treated and control implants showed a modest increase in bone ingrowth (8.85 percent versus 5.87 percent) and decrease in tricalcium phosphate (32.86 percent versus 37.08 percent). At 6 months, however, the osteogenin-treated implants showed a statistically significant increase in bone ingrowth (22.33 percent versus 6.96 percent; p = 0.000) and decrease in tricalcium phosphate (27.25 percent versus 37.80 percent; p = 0.004) compared with the control implants. The bone within the control implants was mostly woven at 6 months, whereas the osteogenin-treated implants contained predominantly mature lamellar bone with well-differentiated marrow. All implants maintained their original volume at each time interval studied. The tricalcium phosphate/osteogenin composite, having the advantage of maintaining its volume and being replaced by new bone as the tricalcium phosphate resorbs, may be applicable clinically as an onlay bone graft substitute.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated that distraction osteogenesis is an effective clinical tool with applications for the entire human skeleton. Therapeutic exploitation in the correction of the asymmetrical and hypoplastic mandible has been reported previously. However, the main criticism of this technique has been the residual cutaneous scars resulting from the surgical incision and the path of the expansion device. In order to obviate the need for skin incisions, we have developed and demonstrated the feasibility of a miniaturized mandibular bone lengthener that is suitable for intraoral placement. Ten growing mongrel dogs were studied. Under general anesthesia, a buccal mucosal incision was made along the oblique line, and the body and ramus of the mandible were exposed in a supraperiosteal plane. Two 2.0-mm half-pins were placed percutaneously in the area of the angle of the mandible, and two other pins were placed 3.5 cm anteriorly. The clamps of the lengthening device were then attached to the half-pins in an intraoral position. An osteotomy was made by connecting percutaneously made drill holes between the clamps in a line positioned posterior to the third molar. The mucosa was closed loosely over the device. Distraction was commenced on the eighth postoperative day. The results were assessed with pre- and post-lengthening photographs, cephalograms, and CT scans with three-dimensional reconstruction. All animals demonstrated a contralateral cross-bite. The newly developed bone also was examined histologically. The intraoral method of mandibular lengthening offers the same advantages of extraoral lengthening but without the need for a cutaneous incision and resulting scar.

Abstract
Midface hypoplasia, often associated with exorbitism and malocclusion, has been traditionally corrected by using Le Fort advancement osteotomies through wide surgical exposure. These procedures suffer the disadvantages of hemorrhage, unpredictable bone graft resorption, the need for retained hardware, and bone graft donor-site morbidity. We present an investigation of midface distraction in the canine without osteotomies. Five canines were the subjects of this study and were divided into two groups. At the time of placement of the lengthening devices, Group 1 animals were 10 weeks of age and Group 2 animals were 5 years of age. Under general anesthesia, four modified Hoffman bone distractors were mounted on 2-mm half pins placed individually across the nasofrontal and the zygomaticotemporal sutures on each side of the craniofacial skeleton. Distraction of all devices was begun on postoperative day 1 at the rate of 0.5 mm/day for 4 days and then 1.0 mm/day for 28 days, after which interval the devices were removed. The dogs were serially monitored and examined for 3 months. One dog in the first group served as a sham control. The results were assessed by standardized cephalograms, and craniofacial computed tomographic scans with three-dimensional reconstruction performed before device placement as well as after removal of the device. In one Group 1 animal, computed tomographic scanning was performed every 2 to 4 weeks for 3 months. Gross examination of the Group 1 animals demonstrated the development of enophthalmos, dolichocephaly, and a class II malocclusion-overbite.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The principle of distraction osteogenesis, well-established in the enchondral bones of the axial skeleton, has recently been applied to the membranous bones (mandible, cranium) of the craniofacial skeleton in the experimental animal and in the human. In the craniofacial skeleton, however, the technique has been used only to lengthen bone in a direction along its major axis, i.e., unidimensional distraction. A canine model is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of distracting membranous bone away from its dominant axis, i.e., multidimensional distraction. Four mongrel dogs, 5 months of age, were the subjects of this study. Two osteotomies were made in the zygomatic arch, and the bone-lengthening device was fixed to the zygoma. After 7 days of external fixation, the osteotomized segment was lengthened 1 mm/day away from the long axis of the bone for 15 days. External fixation was then maintained for a minimum of 4 weeks, after which the dogs were sacrificed. Craniofacial CT with three-dimensional reconstruction documented multidimensional bone lengthening, and histologic analysis of the specimen confirmed the presence of new cortical bone in the expanded areas. Refinement in technique and miniaturization and internalization of the bone-lengthening device may allow for more precise changes in the amount and direction of lengthening, thus making distraction osteogenesis more widely applicable for use in the human craniofacial skeleton.
