Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthognathic Surgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Traditional segmental maxillary surgery often involves complex interdental osteotomies and paramidline bony cuts.
  • These conventional methods are associated with a higher incidence of surgical complications and post-operative relapse.
  • Maintaining palatal soft tissue integrity is a key challenge in traditional techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel surgical technique for segmental maxillary surgery.
  • To demonstrate modifications in hard- and soft-tissue management for improved outcomes.
  • To enable larger maxillary expansions with reduced complications and relapse rates.

Main Methods:

  • The modified technique includes a midline bony osteotomy.
  • Palatal soft tissue is carefully reflected using specifically designed incisions.
  • This approach facilitates comprehensive hard- and soft-tissue manipulation.

Main Results:

  • The presented technique allows for significantly larger maxillary expansions.
  • A low incidence of complications was observed in experienced surgeons.
  • A decreased rate of post-operative relapse was a notable outcome.

Conclusions:

  • The modified surgical approach offers a safer and more effective method for segmental maxillary surgery.
  • Specific hard- and soft-tissue modifications are crucial for successful outcomes.
  • This technique holds promise for improving treatment predictability in maxillary expansion procedures.
