The aim of the book “Maxillofacial Surgery and Craniofacial Deformity - Practices and Updates” was to collect various aspects of facial and cranial deformities in one single textbook in order to have a systematic way of thinking when approaching these interconnected manifestations. Furthermore, other associated social aspects of health care are integrated to give a wider view of the problem and some important considerations of care.

This is the first volume in an interdisciplinary three-book series covering the full range of biological, clinical, and surgical aspects in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with craniofacial malformations. This volume opens by considering general topics such as developmental biology and disease classification and then examines in depth the biological basis of the various malformations, including craniosynostoses, cleft-lip and palate with complex orofacial clefts, branchio-oculo-facial syndromes, rare syndromes, soft tissue malformations, and dysgnathia. Psychological aspects, including psychological evaluation methods and therapies and quality of life issues, are then addressed. Finally, all relevant clinical, radiological, and genetic investigations are described and important diagnostic issues are explored. Featuring numerous high-quality illustrations, the book will be of high value for all clinicians, researchers, and postgraduate students who deal with these malformations. The accompanying two volumes describe treatment principles and present in an atlas manner all relevant surgical techniques in detail. The content of this multivolume set, written by the world’s leading research and clinical specialists in their discipline, represents therefore the recent intellect, experience, and state of this medical field.
In this issue of Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics, guest editors Drs. Mark A. Miller and David M. Yates bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Common Procedures in Cleft and Craniofacial Surgery. Articles from top experts in the field include coverage of cleft lip surgery, different surgical approaches to craniosynostosis, and other craniofacial syndromes, as well as reconstruction and bone grafting. Contains 12 relevant, practice-oriented topics including primary cleft lip deformity; cleft nasal deformity; endoscopic approaches to craniosynostosis; open approaches to craniosynostosis; cranial deformities; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on common procedures in cleft and craniofacial surgery, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
The book provides a framework for diagnosis and treatment of the complex facial deformities found in craniofacial microsomia and Treacher Collins syndrome. These conditions are difficult to treat due to their complexity and variable presentation. The deformities may be mild or severe and merely cosmetic to life-threatening in nature. These conditions often manifest as complex facial deformities that require multiple surgical interventions. Timing is critical when treating these patients and knowing and choosing the correct operation is key to successful outcomes. This work provides a comprehensive approach in treating these complex patient populations, seeking to answer the following questions: When to operate versus when to wait? If operating is required what operation should be performed? What is the best orthodontic approach to the associated dental deformities that develop with these conditions? How should sleep apnea be evaluated and treated in this population? What is the best management for feeding patients with these conditions? Written by experts in the field, Craniofacial Microsomia and Treacher Collins Syndrome: Comprehensive Treatment of Associated Facial Deformities aims to provide the reader with literature based best practices in treating these children from the NICU through childhood and into adulthood.

This work covers craniofacial malformations and growth, and their treatment, surgery and classification. Written for practising plastic surgeons and maxillofacial surgeons, it should also be of interest to oral and ENT surgeons and orthodontists.
After 20 years of intense and gradual improvements in the practice of craniofacial surgery, the International Society was born in Montreal (June 1983) and I. Munro was selected as general secretary. Its first meeting was held in La Napoule (Sep tember 1985) under the chairmanship of D. Marchac. In the meantime, the Euro pean group of the Society had held a session in Stockholm (June 1985) with B. Jo hanson acting as chairman. This now belongs to the history of our specialty, as does the course organized by E. Caronni in Rome (March 1982). These four landmarks in such a short time show the lively interest in craniofacial malformations and all their correction involves: - Syndrome delineation - Evaluation of the components of the malformations - Anatomy of the malformations - Imaging and measurement - Strategies and tactics in very different syndromes - Follow-up with reference to growth patterns in patients subjected to surgery or merely kept under observation - Implications of orbitocranial procedures for routine maxillofacial surgery - The interdisciplinary approach involving pediatricians, anesthesiologists, n- rosurgeons, ophthalmologists, orthodontists and speech specialists - The theories in vogue and those revised for some of the abnormalities All this could not be resolved in a 2-day meeting and probably will not be solved in the next generation.
