Osteotomy Corrective Fenestrated

Osteotomy is an intervention in the maxillofacial area that involves cutting parts of human bone tissue, that is, bone. When performing an osteotomy, it is also possible to remove certain fragments of soft and fibrous tissue. Correctly performed surgery can change the shape and position of the human face. The main indication for surgery is the need to correct defects in appearance after injuries, damage to the jaw bones or operations to remove neoplasms, tumors and cysts. There are several types of osteotomies. Often they are multiple: with the formation of serious curvatures of the facial part or significant changes in the configuration of the human face or oral cavity.

The surgical technique for osteotomy depends on the reasons for the procedure. There are non-surgical operations that help slightly correct the shape of the facial or oral cavity, and reconstructive interventions that completely restore damaged tissue. If the procedure is performed to change the jaw position, correction of the face shape implies maintaining the integrity of all elements of the face and oral cavity. The shape and placement of the cuts are of primary importance. There are classic and advanced correction techniques. The first type helps correct bone irregularities. To correct them, the surgeon cuts off the jaws at several points and fixes the resulting segments until the new shape of the facial bones fuse. The surgical method allows you to correct oral defects or correct the position of teeth in the dentition. Extended osteotomy makes it possible to restore the shape of the face without resorting to surgery. In this case, tissue is pushed back rather than resected. This trauma approach is often used to save patients' lives. The reconstructive method is most often used for surgical correction of the length of the jaw arch and the size of the chin.
