December 29, 2023 “What is a Cervicofacial Advancement Flap?”
12.29.23
Quick Review #89 - #plasticsurgery #surgery #headandneckcancer #doctorgallagher #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon
A cervicofacial advancement flap is a surgical technique used primarily in reconstructive plastic surgery. This procedure involves the movement of skin and underlying tissues from the neck (cervical) and lower face (facial) regions to repair defects, typically in the face or neck area.
1. Indications: Cervicofacial advancement flaps are often used to reconstruct defects resulting from the removal of skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, especially in areas where there is a need for tissue that closely matches the color and texture of the face. It can also be used for other types of facial reconstruction following trauma or in congenital defects.
2. Technique: The procedure involves the careful dissection and elevation of a flap of skin and sometimes underlying muscle from the neck and/or lower face. This flap, still attached to its blood supply, is then advanced (moved) to cover the defect. The size and shape of the flap are tailored to the specific needs of the reconstruction.
3. Advantages: The cervicofacial advancement flap allows for the use of adjacent tissue that closely matches the color, texture, and thickness of the facial skin, leading to a more natural and aesthetically pleasing result. It also maintains a robust blood supply to the transplanted tissue.
4. Healing and Recovery: As with any surgical procedure, the recovery process varies depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual patient. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common postoperative experiences. The patient will have surgical sutures, which are usually removed after a week or so. Complete healing and the final appearance of the scar may take several months.
5. Risks and Complications: Potential risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, and complications related to anesthesia. There's also a risk of partial or complete flap loss due to insufficient blood supply, though this is rare.
6. Postoperative Care: Proper wound care, adherence to follow-up appointments, and avoidance of activities that could stress the surgical area are important for optimal healing.
Cervicofacial advancement flaps represent a sophisticated approach in reconstructive surgery, allowing surgeons to repair defects while preserving the natural appearance and function of the face and neck.

December 29, 2023 “What are the 10 Most Common Bacteria in the Oral Cavity, of the Normal Flora?”
12.29.23
Quick Review #88 - #pathology #oralpathology #doctorgallagher #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon #dentist #dentistry #dental #microbiology #microbiome
The human oral cavity hosts a diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, which play a crucial role in oral health and disease. The most common bacteria that are typically part of the normal oral flora include:
1. **Streptococcus mutans:** Best known for its role in tooth decay, it metabolizes sugars to produce acid that erodes tooth enamel.
2. **Streptococcus salivarius:** Commonly found on the tongue and in saliva, it plays a role in protecting against pathogenic bacteria.
3. **Streptococcus sanguinis:** This species is involved in the early stages of plaque formation on teeth.
4. **Porphyromonas gingivalis:** Often associated with periodontitis, a severe gum disease, but it can be found in low levels in healthy mouths.
5. **Actinomyces naeslundii:** Plays a role in the formation of dental plaque and can be involved in tooth decay and gum disease.
6. **Veillonella:** A genus of bacteria that metabolizes products of other oral bacteria, and is commonly found in dental plaque.
7. **Fusobacterium:** This genus is found in plaque and is associated with periodontal diseases.
8. **Prevotella:** Involved in periodontal diseases and can also be found in healthy oral environments.
9. **Neisseria:** A genus that includes species which are typically harmless inhabitants of the oral cavity.
10. **Lactobacillus:** While better known for its role in the gut, certain species are found in the mouth and can contribute to tooth decay in high numbers.
It's important to note that the presence of these bacteria in the mouth is normal and not inherently harmful. They become problematic primarily when the balance of the oral microbiome is disturbed, often due to poor oral hygiene, dietary habits, or other health conditions. This imbalance can lead to dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are key to managing the levels of these bacteria and ensuring oral health.

December 28, 2023 “What are the Types of NOE (Naso-orbitoethmoid) Fractures and How To Repair Them?”
12.27.23
Quick Review #86 - #trauma #facialtrauma #NOE #fracture #facialfracture #ENT #plasticsurgery #doctorgallagher #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon #dentist #dentistry #dental
The Markowitz and Manson classification system for naso-orbitoethmoid (NOE) fractures categorizes these fractures into 3 types:
1. Type I: The medial canthal tendon is intact and connected to a single, central fracture fragment. This type indicates less severe injury.
2. Type II: The fracture is comminuted, but the medial canthal tendon remains attached to a single bone fragment.
3. Type III: Comminution extends to the medial canthal tendon insertion site on the anterior medial orbital wall at the level of the lacrimal fossa, resulting in avulsion of the tendon. This is the most severe type.
The surgical technique for repairing NOE fractures typically involves:
1. Incision and Exposure: A surgical incision is made to adequately expose the fracture site. This often involves a bicoronal or transconjunctival approach for better visualization.
2. Reduction of Fracture:
• Types I & II: The large fracture fragment, to which the medial canthal tendon is attached, is carefully repositioned to its original anatomical location.
• Type III: Stabilizing the comminuted bony fragments with miniplates and screws, paying special attention to the area of the medial canthal tendon. Precise reattachment of the medial canthal tendon is crucial, often requiring specialized techniques like transnasal wiring or drill hole canthopexy.
3. Fixation: The fracture is then stabilized using appropriate fixation techniques, which might include miniplates or screws, ensuring that the medial canthal tendon remains properly aligned.
4. Closure: Finally, the incision is closed with careful attention to avoid any tension on the skin and soft tissues, reducing the risk of postoperative complications.

December 26, 2023 “How To Diagnose NOE (Nasoethmoidal) Fractures?”
Quick Review #85 - #trauma #facialtrauma #fracture #noe #nasoethmoidal #doctorgallagher #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon #dentist #dentistry #dental
Diagnosing nasoethmoidal fractures typically involves a combination of clinical examination and imaging studies. Here’s an overview of the process:
1. Clinical History and Presentation: Patients with nasoethmoidal fractures often present after a high-energy impact to the midface, such as in motor vehicle accidents or falls. Common symptoms include:
• Visible deformity of the nasal bridge
• Epistaxis (nosebleed)
• Periorbital ecchymosis (bruising around the eyes, also known as “raccoon eyes”)
• Telecanthus (increased distance between the inner corners of the eyes)
• Possible disturbance in vision or diplopia (double vision)
• Epiphora (tearing due to nasolacrimal duct involvement)
2. Physical Examination:
• Assess for facial asymmetry, deformity, or crepitus.
• Check for mobility of the nasal bridge, which might suggest a fracture.
• Evaluate the intercanthal distance to see if it’s widened (telecanthus).
• Inspect for signs of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea, which can occur if the cribriform plate is involved.
3. Imaging:
• Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: This is the gold standard for diagnosing nasoethmoidal fractures. A CT scan provides detailed images of bone and can clearly delineate the extent of the fracture, including involvement of the ethmoid labyrinth, cribriform plate, and nasolacrimal duct.
4. Ophthalmologic Evaluation: Given the close proximity to the eyes, patients with suspected nasoethmoidal fractures should have an ophthalmologic evaluation to rule out ocular injuries.
5. Neurological Assessment: In cases with suspected involvement of the cribriform plate or intracranial injury, a neurological assessment may be necessary.
6. Facial Trauma (OMFS, ENT, Plastic Surgery) Consultation: This can be useful for further assessment and management, especially if there’s involvement of the nasolacrimal duct or significant nasal deformity.
It’s important to diagnose and manage nasoethmoidal fractures promptly due to the potential for complications, such as infection, persistent deformity, and impaired nasal and lacrimal function.
