Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Maxillary osteotomies in cleft lip and palate patients present unique surgical challenges.
  • These challenges include scar tissue, fistulae, compromised dentition, and altered vascularity.
  • A standardized and effective surgical approach is crucial for optimal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a detailed surgical video of a single-piece Le Fort I osteotomy with bone grafting.
  • To illustrate a specific technique for addressing maxillary hypoplasia in unilateral cleft lip and palate.
  • To highlight key surgical steps and considerations for this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Demonstration of a Le Fort I osteotomy and bone grafting technique in a patient with unilateral cleft lip and palate.
  • Detailed visualization of surgical steps: incision, exposure, osteotomies, segment mobilization, and fixation.
  • Use of intraoperative fluoroscopy and postoperative imaging for assessment.

Main Results:

  • Successful execution of the single-piece Le Fort I osteotomy with bone graft.
  • Achieved stable maxillary repositioning and bony union.
  • Demonstrated feasibility of the presented technique in a complex cleft patient.

Conclusions:

  • The presented technique offers a viable approach for Le Fort I osteotomy with bone grafting in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients.
  • Careful attention to surgical details is essential for managing the complexities of cleft anatomy.
  • This video serves as an educational resource for surgeons performing similar procedures.
