The second of a multi-volume set takes into account the deficit of experience and knowledge gained from 3D preoperative planning and postoperative control using new radiological protocols in surgical procedures, with corresponding consequences. It contrasts the established standard techniques of orthognathic oral and maxillofacial surgery with alternatives that are based on years of experience and knowledge gained from better radiological analysis. Orthopaedic oral and maxillofacial surgery has experienced a renaissance in recent years, primarily due to three-dimensional radiological imaging. The book has deliberately been structured in such a way that the clinical situation is contrasted with a graphic representation for better understanding, which is intended to point out special situations that can in turn positively influence the surgical planning of the intervention in order to avoid undesirable results in the individual case. The book will have a reduced text part, but witha lot of illustrations, in order to show the surgeon, who works image-oriented, the logic of the surgical procedure in a simple and clear way. The graphic illustrations will illustrate the three-dimensionality of the complex anatomy in the midface region close to the orbits and the skull base. Illustrations must help where radiological images fall short. The structure of the book will nevertheless be classic, as the variations of the established techniques can only be understood on the basis of historical development. A corresponding textbook that combines clinical situations with pre- and postoperative radiological evaluation and graphic explanation does not exist to date. It will appeal to a broad readership of students and professionals working within Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Orthodontics, Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery, and Otorhinolaryngology.

This book details step-by-step, integrated diagnosis and management of maxillofacial surgery. - Presents all of the most current clinical aspects of oral surgery including maxillofacial trauma injuries, diagnosis of salivary gland disease, cysts and tumors, postoperative care, facial alloplastic implants, orthognathic surgery, preprosthetic surgery, fracture of mandible, temporomandibular joints, distraction osteogenesis and general principles of suturing and basic concepts of the subject. - The unique feature of the book is that instead of reproducing photographs throughout the text, hand-drawn illustrations are used to explain surgical procedures that give a visual description of every step.

Latest Edition: Fundamentals of Orthognathic Surgery and Non Surgical Facial Aesthetics (3rd Edition)This is a unique and comprehensive, but concise illustrated operative manual for surgical and orthodontic consultants and trainees as well as for theatre and ward staff. It also describes in detail the current state of computerised cephalometry and contains up-to-date sections on imaging and surgical planning. Some important sections include: Secondary management of clefts (including the role of distraction osteogenesis); rhinoplasty surgery; temporomandibular joint ankylosis; nutrition; the important psychopathological aspects of orthognathic surgery, where the borderland between aesthetics and cosmesis can destabilise the patient and create unexpected problems for the clinician; and there is a unique section on the multistage planning process, which provides an increased understanding of the accuracy of record transfer and the challenges of rigid internal fixation.

This handbook details the nursing care of patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery. It deals with diseases, disorders and injuries of the mouth, jaw and face and provides information on the full spectrum of patient care from pre-admission to discharge planning. It is jointly written by nurses and consultants in the area of maxillofacial surgery, and combines elements of nursing care with medical and surgical information. It provides an attractive alternative to the heavier medical tomes that nurses have come to rely upon.
