Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the application and recent development of orthognathic surgery in treating syndromic craniosynostosis.
METHODS:The related literature at home and abroad in recent years was extensively reviewed, and the indications, routine procedures, and protocols of orthognathic surgery in the treatment of syndromic craniosynostosis were summarized and analyzed.
RESULTS:Craniosynostosis is a common congenital craniofacial malformation. Syndromic craniosynostosis usually involves premature fusion of multiple cranial sutures and is associated with other deformities. Orthognathic surgery is the necessary and effective means to improve the midfacial hypoplasia and malocclusion. Le Fort I osteotomy combined with sagittal split ramus osteotomy are the common surgical options. Orthognathic surgery should combine with craniofacial surgery and neurosurgery, and a comprehensive long-term evaluation should be conducted to determine the best treatment plan.
CONCLUSION:Orthognathic surgery plays an important role in the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of syndromic craniosynostosis. The development of digital technology will further promote the application and development of orthognathic surgery in the treatment of syndromic craniosynostosis.
