This present study concluded that the surgical access and visibility was immensely improved by following the anaesthetic and surgeon factors in conjunction with algorithms described for uneventful oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures. Further, this has also substantially minimized the influence of the 'route of intubation' on 'surgical technique' and vice versa.
The onus of creating and improving the awareness and perception of our specialty lies on oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Unified efforts at individual as well as global level will help achieve this goal.
In conclusion, retrograde nasotracheal intubation is an effective and useful technique for airway control in patients with LMO and with only a small risk potential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
