Microsurgical Repair of the Peripheral Trigeminal Nerve After Mandibular Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy

Microsurgical Repair of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve: Success Rate and Factors That Adversely Affect Outcome

“…In our present study and others, we found that there was a significant negative relationship between increasing patient age and outcomes. 1,8,9 These results are supported by a recent discussion of age as a significant factor in the prognosis for recovery of injured nerves due to changes in electrophysiology and axonal transport. 64 Our study was subject to certain biases and confounders of which we are aware.…”

“…As in our previous studies, 1,8,9 we have continued to use standardized methods of evaluating neurosensory function (NST) and of grading the final outcome of nerve recovery after surgical repair (MRCS). NST has been evaluated and accepted by many clinicians working in the area of peripheral trigeminal nerve injury as the most accurate and reliable method of semiobjective examination of sensory nerve function.…”

“…This mechanism is likely the cause of some of the IAN injuries occurring during the SSRO. 9 The next most common intraoperative finding in the IAN was neuroma formation (n ϭ 43 [32.1%]). In most of these cases this was an exophytic or adhesive neuroma, and the conducting portion of the nerve remained continuous after excision of the neuroma.…”

Réhabilitation sensitive du nerf alvéolaire inférieur après mandibulectomie interruptrice

“…Plusieurs techniques de réparation des pertes de substance du NAI ont été décrites. Les principales sont la greffe nerveuse [1][2][3][4][5][6], l'autogreffe veineuse [5,7] et l'utilisation de biomatériaux [3,8]. Comme réalisée dans notre cas, la greffe nerveuse autologue reste actuellement le gold standard dans la reconstruction du NAI.…”

Self-reported hypoesthesia of the lower lip after sagittal split osteotomy

“…Bagheri et al 28 reported that most IAN injuries were located at the site of the vertical osteotomy. Both the depth of the bur and the position perpendicular to the MC enhance the risk of IAN injury if the MC is in proximity to the lower border or to the buccal plate.…”
