This in-depth revision of the successful first edition is one of the only books of its kind to cover the full range of craniomaxillofacial reconstructive and corrective bone surgery. This evolving field has a large number of contributions by worldwide clinicians covering new developments, especially in biomaterials, digital technologies, virtual surgical planning, patient specific implants, and navigation. These topics appeal to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Plastic Surgeons, ENT/Head and Neck Surgeons, and Neurosurgeons. Complete with updates on popular topics from the first edition, such as advanced jaw reconstruction with stem cells and tissue engineering, wide varieties of microvascular flaps, orthognathic surgery, endoscopic skull base surgery, dental implantology, craniofacial surgery and facial allotransplantation.

This advanced book of rigid fixation describes the scientific principles and applied techniques primarily for the AO/ASIF hardware system.

Featuring more than 1,300 expertly drawn illustrations and images, the Advanced Craniomaxillofacial Surgery book is the comprehensive, highly anticipated follow-up to the original work on Principles of Internal Fixation of the Craniomaxillofacial Skeleton that was published in 2012. With detailed contributions from more than 80 renowned international authors, Advanced Craniomaxillofacial Surgery significantly builds on the solid foundation laid by the previous textbook. The new book comprises sophisticated techniques in skeletal and soft-tissue analysis for the disciplines of craniomaxillofacial, trauma, tumor, orthognathic surgery, as well as facial and esthetic surgery. The focused expertise of seven disciplines is synthesized together to offer comprehensive and unique interdisciplinary perspectives, necessary to create the "team" approach fundamental to achieving the progress required and expected in high-level medical centers: oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, oculoplastic surgery, and head and neck surgery. Nowhere else has there been such a thorough and comprehensive multispecialty approach presented in the head and neck region. The advent of microvascular surgery, skeletal analysis, computerized surgical planning, personalized implant creation, and comprehensive radiographic analysis have given rise to new principles, techniques and possibilities, which are explored extensively in this new textbook. Advanced Craniomaxillofacial Surgery should be part of every surgeon's library.

This book provides a comprehensive review of the new technologies that are having a tremendous impact on the complex field of craniomaxillofacial reconstructive surgery. Readers will find detailed information on the technologies themselves, their indications, and their benefits. The coverage encompasses the use of biomaterials and tissue engineering, virtual planning and CAD/CAM techniques, the various applications of computer-assisted surgery, and intraoperative navigation. Robotic surgery, endoscopic approaches, and piezoelectric surgery are each addressed within individual chapters. New developments in craniofacial pediatric surgery are discussed, and the book concludes by examining the present and future of facial transplantation. The text is supported by numerous high-quality color illustrations, and the team of authors comprises prestigious international leaders in the specialty. The book will be of value for all who are interested in learning about the innovations and developments that are reducing morbidity and improving outcomes in patients who require craniomaxillofacial reconstruction.

The term "orbital fracture" refers to any fracture that involves the bony cavity containing the eyeball. Such traumatic injuries of the ocular region are found in about 80% of cases of central facial fractures, and their spectrum ranges from a simple fracture of the cheek bone to a complex comminuted fracture of the orbit. The possible treatments begin with closed repositioning and end with extensive reconstructive surgery of the orbital region. The relatively recent introduction of new craniofacial or maxillofacial surgery techniques has resulted in considerable advances in both the primary management of severe orbital injuries as well as the treatment of posttraumatic deformities. This unique book is clearly not only essential reading in the specific field of orbital and oculoplastic surgery, but will also be of great practical value to all those working in cranial and maxillofacial trauma and plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as to otolaryngologists, ophthalmologists, and radiologists.
