Surgical Management and Outcomes of Pierre Robin Sequence: A Comparison of Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis and Tongue-Lip Adhesion.

ABSTRACT: There is a paucity of literature directly comparing tongue-lip adhesion versus mandibular distraction osteogenesis in surgical treatment of patients with Pierre Robin sequence. This study comprehensively reviews the literature for evaluating airway and feeding outcomes following mandibular distraction osteogenesis and tongue-lip adhesion. A search was performed using the MEDLINE and Embase databases for publications between 1960 and June of 2017. English-language, original studies subjects were included. Extracted data included prevention of tracheostomy (primary airway outcome) and ability to feed exclusively by mouth (primary feeding outcome). A total of 67 studies were included. Ninety-five percent of subjects (657 of 693) treated with mandibular distraction osteogenesis avoided tracheostomy, compared to 89% of subjects (289 of 323) treated with tongue-lip adhesion. Eighty-seven percent of subjects (323 of 370) treated with mandibular distraction osteogenesis achieved full oral feeds at latest follow-up. Seventy percent of subjects (110 of 157) treated with tongue-lip adhesion achieved full oral feeds at latest follow-up. The incidence of second intervention for recurrent obstruction ranged from 4 to 6 percent in mandibular distraction osteogenesis studies, compared to a range of 22 to 45 percent in tongue-lip adhesion studies. Variability of patient selection, surgical techniques, outcomes measurement methods, and follow-up length across studies precluded meta-analysis of the data. Both mandibular distraction osteogenesis and tongue-lip adhesion are effective alternatives to tracheostomy for patients who fail conservative management and improve feeding. Mandibular distraction osteogenesis may be superior to tongue-lip adhesion in long-term resolution of airway obstruction and avoidance of gastrostomy, but is associated with notable complications.

Project description:Objective The aim of the study was to report our experience with placed allogenic acellular bone matrix and mandibular distraction osteogenesis in Pierre Robin sequence (PRS), and explore the role of distraction in the osteogenesis of acellular bone. Materials and Methods A total of 428 neonates with severe PRS managed with placing allogenic acellular bone and bilateral mandibular distraction osteogenesis were included in the study. The procedure included using oblique-shaped osteotomy, fixing bilateral mandibular distractor, instantly extending a 4–6 mm gap, and placing allogenic acellular bone into the gap. The length of allogenic acellular bone was 4–5 mm. Although the surgical techniques, distraction, and consolidation periods were similar, the allogenic acellular bone matrix we placed was quite different from the traditional distraction. With the technology we used, tracheal intubation could be immediately removed, thus quickly improving breathing conditions compared to traditional methods after the surgery. The jaw extending and oral feeding could begin on the 5th day. The jaw was extended 0.6 mm twice a day until the mandible was overcorrected by 20%. Results All 428 cases included in this study were successfully extubated after the operation, and the difficulty in breathing was instantly relieved. Total mandibular distraction was 15–20 mm. Oral feeding was started at 6 h to 6 days postoperatively, while hospital stay ranged from 18 to 20 days postoperatively. No major complications were reported. Medium to long-term results was good. Mandibular distractors were removed after 3 months. Conclusions Bilateral mandibular distraction osteogenesis combined with placing allogenic acellular bone in the neonate are safe and accurate procedures, which are the primary treatment options for cases of severe PRS. It can be considered that the tension of distraction can promote osteogenesis in acellular bone and thus improve distractive effect of the mandible.

Project description:The objective of this study is to analyze the hard and soft-tissue profile changes as well as the upper airway changes after distraction osteogenesis (DO) using rigid external distraction device in adult cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. The study also evaluates the stability of the surgical result.Three lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken: Predistraction (T1), postdistraction (T2), and 1 year after distractor removal (T3). The treatment changes (T1 vs. T2) and the stability (T2 vs. T3) were analyzed. The overall treatment changes after 1 year were also evaluated (T1 vs. T3). The lateral cephalograms were digitally analyzed with the help of software named Dolphin.Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks test was used, and the probability value (P value) of 0.05 was considered as statistically significant level.Eleven adult patients with CLP were retrospectively analyzed. After distraction, there was a significant mean maxillary advancement of 14 mm (P < 0.01) from a T1 value of 73.54 ± 10.38 to a T2 value of 88.2 ± 10.49. The lower facial height and the incisor exposure were significantly increased. The nasolabial angle had a significant improvement of 24.5° (P < 0.01) from a T1 value of 56.6 ± 21.03 to a T2 value of 81.18 ± 14.4.The upper airway was significantly improved by 3.7 mm (P < 0.01) with a T1 value of 13.5 ± 3.8 to a T2 value of 17.2 ± 3.66. After 1-year follow-up, there was a significant maxillary relapse of 3.20 mm (P < 0.05) from a T2 value of 8.29 ± 6.84 to a T3 value of 5.09 ± 5.59. However, the soft-tissue profile and upper airway remained stable.The clinician should have an understanding of the related hard and soft tissues as well as airway changes which may assist him when planning for maxillary advancement for CLP patients with DO. There were significant improvements immediately after distraction, but during the 1-year follow-up, some relapse was seen. This stressed on the need for overcorrection of about 35%-40% for adult CLP patients.
