Abstract
Objective: Patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome commonly have macroglossia, which can negatively affect dentoskeletal development, breathing, speaking, and eating. Tongue reduction surgery can improve symptoms, but there is no standardized surgical approach.
Methods: A video and observational commentary highlighting the effectiveness of a tongue reduction technique for BWS were presented.
Results: The peripheral resection with a keyhole approach safely reduced tongue volume, maintained the lateral neurovascular pedicles, optimized intraoperative visualization, and limited bleeding.
Conclusions: The peripheral resection with a keyhole tongue reduction surgical technique is effective for treating symptomatic macroglossia in BWS.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery serves as a forum of communication for all those involved in craniofacial surgery, maxillofacial surgery and pediatric plastic surgery. Coverage ranges from practical aspects of craniofacial surgery to the basic science that underlies surgical practice. The journal publishes original articles, scientific reviews, editorials and invited commentary, abstracts and selected articles from international journals, and occasional international bibliographies in craniofacial surgery.
