Transoral Septoplasty before Le Fort I Downfracture: A Novel Functional Rhinoplasty Technique
Summary:. Individuals with maxillary dentofacial deformities commonly have preexisting nasal airway obstruction with associated nasal septal deviation. Combination bimaxillary procedures with intraoral septoplasty after maxillary downfracture have been demonstrated to address dentofacial deformities...

| description | Summary:. Individuals with maxillary dentofacial deformities commonly have preexisting nasal airway obstruction with associated nasal septal deviation. Combination bimaxillary procedures with intraoral septoplasty after maxillary downfracture have been demonstrated to address dentofacial deformities and nasal obstruction simultaneously. Although effective, current transoral septoplasty techniques offer limited visualization of the superior septum and are challenging to perform due to septal mobility after Le Fort I downfracture. Here, we describe a novel approach in which a transoral septoplasty is performed before completion of the Le Fort I maxillary downfracture, improving septal stability during the dissection and affording better visualization of the septal L-strut for precise cartilage resection. |
