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：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
