One cannot understand the procedure unless they understand the anatomy. Here we establish our foundation as surgeons to have the confidence to know where we are and what we are getting into.
My chief always used to say, “We have three goals as residents: Get the patient to the OR. Do the procedure. Get them home safely.” In order to do this, we must know how to manage an individual and their comorbidities in the pre-op, peri-op, and post-operative setting.
Our ability to provide outpatient sedation is a cornerstone and hallmark of our specialty. It demands respect and understanding.
Teeth and titanium, bread and butter, pulling wizzies. Arguably the most common procedures we will perform in our daily practice. Yet, many of us learned it by just “winging it”. Start here to build good habits and maybe even kick some bad ones.
For many of us, this was likely the first procedure we saw in the operating room. It is likely what made us decide we wanted to become Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons. Here we discuss the principles, technique, and complications of corrective jaw surgery.
During World War I, treating the traumatic facial and jaw injuries caused by trench warfare forged the way for dental surgeons and established the principles of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Today, we honor this practice by continuing to provide coverage as an integral part of the accreditation required to be a Level I Trauma Facility.
Some say that a baby’s smile is a gift from God. As OMFS, we have the privilege of serving as a member on the Cleft Lip & Palate Team. In turn, we get to watch these patients grow and to be a part of their lives.
TMD and TMJ surgery has long been regarded as taboo. Most often presenting as a headache for both the patient as well as the surgeon. Yet, when one understands the disease process as well as the indications for surgery, it becomes nothing more than another vital service that we can provide as OMFS.
To truly master cosmetic surgery, one must have a complete understanding of the role and impact of manipulating both hard and soft tissue. From face lifts to lip fillers, here we explore the facial subunits.
Lenny Pepperbottom once said, “It’s an Aspen. You can tell because of the way it is.” As oral surgeons, we are the community’s go-to people when it comes to lumps and bumps in the head and neck. Here we focus on what it is we are looking at…or what it could be.
Extractions and implants are things anyone with a D.D.S. will attempt. But when it comes to cutting things out, OMFS often finds itself as the last one standing. From excisional biopsies to composite resection, we explore the demolition side of surgery.
Taking things apart is easy. It’s putting them back together that’s hard. Over the past 30 years, microvascular surgery has blossomed to provide advanced reconstructive techniques to help all of the “Andy Gumps” of the world.
