Introduction
The gold standard for curative treatment of facial, oral, nasal, paranasal and pharyngeal cancers is excision and reconstruction surgery. Patients are increasingly demanding carcinologically effective and minimally invasive surgery with near ad integrum functional and aesthetic reconstruction. In malignant tumors with no indication for lymph node dissection, when the defect size dictates free flap reconstruction, the intrabuccal anastomosis technique comes closest to meeting these requirements.
Material and methods
In this single-center retrospective observational study, we reported a series of 5 patients with intermediate or low-grade head and neck cancer treated by surgery between 2022 and 2023 at the Cervico-facial Surgery Department of the Gustave Roussy Cancer Center. We collected clinical, therapeutic, histologic, and carcinologic data.
Results
All patients underwent tumor resection with fascio-cutaneous free flap reconstruction and dental rehabilitation in accordance with best practice recommendations. None of the patients had an indication for lymph node dissection. The histologic subtypes were glandular, epithelial, and cartilaginous-related. All anastomoses were performed on the facial vessels using an intraoral anastomosis technique.
Conclusion
Free flap with intraoral anastomosis technique may be the first intention reconstruction strategy for large defects following resection of intermediate and low-grade malignant tumors of the face and oral, oropharyngeal, nasal or paranasal cavities.

Background
Face transplantation (FT) offers a reconstructive option for patients with severe facial disfigurements by restoring both function and appearance. Aesthetic outcomes, which are crucial to psychological well-being and social reintegration, have historically been evaluated subjectively. This study introduces the AI Research Metrics Model (CAARISMA ® ARMM), a machine learning-based medical device designed to objectively assess aesthetic outcomes in FT patients.
Methods
Overall, 14 FT patients were analyzed using CAARISMA ® ARMM, which evaluates 3 key aesthetic indices: the Facial Youthfulness Index (FYI), Facial Aesthetic Index (FAI), and Skin Quality Index (SQI). Preoperative, postoperative, and pre-trauma images were processed to assess improvements in facial aesthetics. Statistical analysis was performed to compare changes in these indices across the different time points.
Results
Postoperative scores for FYI, FAI, and SQI were significantly higher than preoperative scores (p < 0.0001), indicating substantial aesthetic improvements. No significant differences were found between postoperative and pre-trauma images, suggesting that FT can effectively restore a patient's pre-injury appearance. Aesthetic improvements were consistent across different age and gender groups, with no notable disparities in outcomes.
Conclusion
CAARISMA ® ARMM offers a reliable and objective framework for objectifying aesthetic outcomes following FT, allowing for more standardized assessments. This medical device can potentially improve patient-surgeon communication, enhance surgical planning, and serve as a benchmark for evaluating long-term aesthetic success in FT patients. Future research should focus on expanding CAARISMA ® ARMM's application to larger and more diverse patient populations.

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a severe complication associated with various adverse outcomes, especially in older patients. Although the incidence and risk factors for POD have been explored in general surgery, they have not been fully elucidated. Early identification of high-risk patients and active preoperative intervention are considered essential for the prevention of POD. Recently, psychiatric consultation intervention have been shown to prevent delirium. This study investigated the effect of preoperative psychiatric interventions on preventing POD in our specific surgical context.
Materials and Methods
This retrospective, single-center observational study included 86 patients who underwent major oral and maxillofacial surgery with free flap reconstruction between 2016 and 2023. The effect of psychiatric intervention were compared between patients with and without delirium.
Results
Preoperative psychiatric intervention did not reduce the incidence of POD. The incidence of POD was 29.1 %. Univariate analyses showed no significant associations between POD and any clinical variables.
Conclusion
There was no difference in the incidence of POD between patients who received preoperative psychiatric intervention and those who did not, and further investigation is needed to determine the efficacy of preoperative psychiatric intervention in the prevention of POD.
背景:术后谵妄(POD)是一种严重的并发症,与各种不良后果相关,尤其是在老年患者中。虽然已经对普外科手术中 POD 的发生率和风险因素进行了探讨,但尚未完全阐明。早期识别高危患者并进行积极的术前干预被认为是预防 POD 的关键。最近,精神科咨询干预被证明可以预防谵妄。本研究调查了在我们特定的手术环境中,术前精神干预对预防 POD 的影响:这项回顾性、单中心观察性研究纳入了 2016 年至 2023 年间接受口腔颌面大手术并进行游离皮瓣重建的 86 例患者。比较了有谵妄和无谵妄患者的精神干预效果:术前精神干预并未降低 POD 的发生率。POD发生率为29.1%。单变量分析显示,POD与任何临床变量之间均无明显关联:结论:接受术前精神干预的患者与未接受术前精神干预的患者在 POD 发生率上没有差异,因此需要进一步调查以确定术前精神干预对预防 POD 的有效性。

Introduction
Trapdoor fractures of the orbital floor occur almost exclusively in the paediatric population. Despite being widely discussed in the literature, their management remains controversial. The objective of this retrospective study was to analyse the surgical experiences on paediatric trapdoor fractures in the maxillofacial centres participating in the WORMAT project.
Materials and methods
14 centres collected data for patients aged ≤16 years operated between January 2011 and December 2022. The demographic, cause and type of fracture, timing from injury to surgery, surgical approach, type of floor repair and outcomes were recorded. Diplopia, surgical wound infection, hardware loosening and dysesthesia in the infraorbital nerve area were recorded at follow-up.
Results
43 patients were included: 25 children (0–12 y) and 18 adolescents (13–16 y) (mean age, 11.1 years). Surgical treatment was performed within 24 h in 51 % of the patients, within 24–72 h in 33 %, and beyond 72 h in the remaining. The orbital floor was repaired with a resorbable implant/membrane in 63 % of the patients, open reduction without an implant in 30 %, a titanium mesh implant in 3 adolescent patients. At follow-up (mean 16.3 months), 14 patients had residual diplopia in the upper fields, only two of these resolved within 6 months.
Discussion
A tendency toward an increased incidence of postoperative diplopia with longer intervals between trauma and surgery was observed. This study showed different choices regarding the material placed on the floor, with a preference for open reduction without implants in children, compared to the use of resorbable implants or membranes in adolescents.

Background
Third molar surgery often results in postoperative complications such as pain, trismus, and facial swelling due to surgical trauma. Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF), a third-generation platelet concentrate, is believed to enhance wound healing due to its rich content of growth factors and fibrin.
Methods
This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and included a search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library up to April 18, 2024. Randomized controlled trials involving CGF-treated versus non-CGF-treated patients undergoing third molar surgery were included. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration RoB 2.0.
Results
Ten studies were included. CGF significantly improved wound healing, with enhanced soft and hard tissue recovery. Pain relief was notable on postoperative days 3 and 7, although results varied. CGF reduced facial swelling significantly on days 3 and 7 post-surgery. Trismus outcomes were mixed, with some studies reporting significant alleviation and others showing no advantage. CGF showed potential in reducing dry socket incidence, though evidence was not robust.
Conclusions
CGF appears to promote wound healing and reduce postoperative complications such as pain and swelling after third molar surgery. However, its effects on trismus and dry socket incidence remain controversial. Further research with standardized measures is needed to confirm these findings.

Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumor (OT) accounting for about 1- 3 % of all tumors and tumor-like lesions of the head and neck region. Contrasting reports from documented studies have observed that the relative frequency of ameloblastomas is higher in the black population as compared to Caucasians. This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of Sub-Sahara African prevalence of Ameloblastoma.
Methods
The MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and AJOL databases were searched for relevant studies published from 1980 till date. Papers selected for full-text review were included in the systematic review if they provided a hospital or population-based prevalence of Ameloblastoma. Manual searching of selected articles’ reference list was also performed to include additional studies. Two individuals independently performed abstract and full-text reviews, data extraction, and quality assessment of the papers. Random-effects models and/or meta-regression were used to generate pooled estimates by country, sex, and year of data collection.
Results
Of 264 abstracts screened, 166 articles were selected for full-text review. A total of 22 studies met the inclusion criteria and all articles were hospital-based. The pooled prevalence for Ameloblastoma was 12 % (CI 95 %: 9 % - 15 %). Increasing participant age was not associated with a higher Ameloblastoma prevalence. Prevalence was higher in Nigeria (13 %, CI 95 %: 10 % - 17 %) than in other sub-Saharan countries (9 %, CI 95 %: 6 % - 14 %). Sex, country, and year of data collection were not associated with statistically significant different estimates of prevalence.
Conclusion
Significant gaps in data collection and overall knowledge about its epidemiology were identified, particularly about the population-based incidence of Ameloblastoma in sub-Saharan countries. Accurate estimates of the prevalence and incidence of Ameloblastoma are needed to plan for the health and social services that will be required to deal with this enigmatic lesion.

Purpose: Genitoplasty is becoming more and more common, and it is important to improve the accuracy of the procedure and simplify the procedure. This experiment explores the feasibility of using augmented reality (AR) technology combined with PSI titanium plates for navigational assistance in genioplasty performed on models, aiming to study the precision of such surgical interventions.
Methods: Twelve genioplasty procedures were designed and implemented on 3D-printed resin mandibular models by the same surgeon using three different approaches: AR+3DT group (AR+PSI) , 3DT group (patient-specific titanium plate) , and a traditional free-hand group(FH group). Postoperative models were assessed using CBCT to evaluate surgical accuracy.
Results: In terms of osteotomy accuracy, the AR group demonstrated a surgical error of 0.9440±0.5441 mm, significantly lower than the control group, which had an error of 1.685±0.8907 mm (P < 0.0001). In experiments positioning the distal segment of the chin, the overall centroid shift in the AR group was 0.3661±0.1360 mm, significantly less than the 2.304±0.9629 mm in the 3DT group and 1.562±0.9799 mm in the FH group (P < 0.0001). Regarding angular error, the AR+3DT group showed 2.825±1.373°, significantly <8.283±3.640° in the 3DT group and 7.234±5.241° in the FH group.
Conclusion: AR navigation technology combined with PSI titanium plates demonstrates higher surgical accuracy compared to traditional methods and shows feasibility for use. Further validation through clinical trials is necessary.
