Preface:

We are excited to present the third edition of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. This three-volume text is the result of the collaboration of multiple contributors. The first edition, published in 2000, and the second edition, published in 2009, were very well-received. However, with all the advances in our profession, we felt it was time for a new edition. The section editors have done an excellent job recruiting the most knowledgeable individuals in their specific areas of expertise. The authors have submitted chapters that reflect the state of the art in their areas of responsibility. This text is a comprehensive resource on oral and maxillofacial surgery. Every area in our specialty has been addressed. It defines the scope of the specialty. Every surgical procedure performed by an oral surgeon is covered in this text. This multi-volume text provides coverage of a wide range of issues related to surgical care, such as anesthesia, diagnostic imaging treatment planning, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and psychological considerations. After an analysis of the changing field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, we strove to present a comprehensive, current book that covers the complete scope of our specialty. We hope that the reader appreciates and agrees with our efforts. We stated in the preface of the first edition that we hoped that our future attempts will present an even broader scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery. The fact that this edition has succeeded in that regard is a testament to the individuals who are constantly expanding the envelope. The third edition of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is a team approach. The section editors—Michael P. Powers, David E. Frost, and Bach Le—were invaluable contributors to the success of this effort. They diligently pestered authors so that deadlines were almost met. This edition, like the last two, attempts to define the scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery and could not have come to fruition without these contributors. Residents are the lifeblood of our specialty. Many have helped to contribute portions of chapters in this book. They have also provided us with friendship, dedication, intellectual stimulation, and humility, without which this book would not have been written. Last, I would like to thank all the staff who helped to prepare these manuscripts and the editorial staff at Elsevier, who were so patient with our procrastination and meticulous in their development and editing of this book. Additionally, I would like to thank my staff—Laynee Adams, Sally Brown, Heather Early, Patty Martin, Sarah Merrill, Josie Ray, and Ashley Wood—who collectively and individually make my life so enjoyable.

Preface:

This historical account is authored by a North American whose principal language is English. Although there are many foreign references and some written in English that I have not included or have overlooked, my apologies in advance. There is no slight intended. The author proposes to touch on the major events that shaped the development of orthognathic surgery over 170 years. I would appreciate hearing of any corrections, deletions, and additions from readers. It is only with your comments that an accurate account of orthognathic surgery will pass on to other generations. The Pioneering Era Little did Simon Hullihen realize that his 1849 publication would serve as the ignition switch for the development of the subspecialty of orthognathic surgery. His publication is the first known record of an operation performed to address jaw deformity and malocclusion.1 The significance of this publication is the undertaking of a novel operation to reposition the dentoalveolus of the mandible. Also of significance is that the operation occurred prior to the development of antibiotics or general anesthetics. Another monumental milestone recorded in this manuscript is the recognition that soft tissue scarring which contributed to the patient’s skeletal deformity had to be released to improve success. This bold maneuver was not accomplished in a major teaching center with observation theaters; it took place in the rural mining community of Wheeling, West Virginia. Hullihen is the first surgeon in the United States known to limit his practice to the face and neck and is considered the father of oral and maxillofacial surgery in this country. Mandibular Osteotomies Not much occurred in the development of mandibular osteotomies until near the end of the 19th century when several French surgeons, Jaboulay, Berard and Berger, published on subcondylar osteotomies for correction of prognathism.2,3 In the United States, Whipple and Angle, both orthodontists, reported cases of prognathism correction in 1898.4,5 The surgeons involved were Harvey Mudd and Vilray Blair. Blair was a general surgeon by training but his interest in mandibular corrective surgery led to the publication of several textbooks on this topic. Blair recognized the importance of orthodontic involvement in jaw surgery and relied on the expertise of Angle—who is considered the father of orthodontics—and others in the dental profession for guidance and advice. Blair and Angle seemed to have mutual respect and collaborated but never published together. Both were prolific writers and documented their experiences well.6-9 Angle published seven editions of a textbook, Treatment of Malocclusion of the Teeth and Fractures of the Mandible,10 and documented several orthognathic surgical cases. Blair’s book on Surgery of the Mouth and Jaws (Mosby) was also published in several editions and he also documented multiple osteotomy case. It appears that they were the first surgeon/orthodontist team whose work paved the way for the future. They recognized the importance of surgical and orthodontic collaboration and discussed pre- and postsurgical orthodontic treatment, timing and sequencing of surgery, and growth considerations. Most of Blair’s early surgical experience was in the body of the mandible, which he approached through neck incisions. By 1915 he altered his approach to the vertical ramus of the mandible.

Preface:

Trauma is the leading cause of mortality globally, and in the United States more than 3 million facial injuries occur each year, resulting in a large percentage of hospital admissions. Because more than 50% of patients with maxillofacial trauma have multisystem injuries as well, a thorough and efficient management strategy is crucial to optimize the care of the patient. The goal in the management of the facial trauma patient is to restore function and esthetics while minimizing adverse events. The initial evaluation and management of the patient ensures that the appropriate treatment is rendered, whereas the focus in the postoperative setting is on an expeditious recovery with minimal complications. This chapter outlines some of the important principles in the care of the facial trauma patient in the perioperative setting. The subsequent chapters of this text will explore many of these principles in greater detail. Initial Assessment The creation of the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course in 1978 provided a systematic approach to addressing the initial needs of the trauma patient. The principles outlined by ATLS (Box 1-1) should be applied to all trauma patients in the emergent setting, to quickly identify and treat any life-threatening injuries. However, it is rare for the oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) to be the sole primary practitioner evaluating a trauma patient who presents to the hospital. A multidisciplinary approach to the management of the trauma patient has been adopted. In most situations, the trauma patient has been evaluated in the emergency room setting and the OMS is brought in as a consultant. This does not negate the need for a thorough understanding of the principles behind trauma care, as it allows the practitioner to be in sync with the efficient and effective methods of optimizing patient care in the hospital setting. In the case that the patient has been referred to you in the outpatient setting, it is important to ensure that all other systems have been evaluated and other systemic injuries have been addressed. If you are concerned that other injuries have not been thoroughly evaluated, a referral to the emergency room is warranted.

Preface:

First published in German over 25 years ago, Hernien represented the first modern work on surgical technique and is now in its fifth edition. This standard work is now being published in English by Thieme. The cautious beginnings and definitions in what was over 25 years ago a rather marginal branch of “real surgery” have now become a stable pillar of routine surgical practice. Hernia surgery, with its great variety of methods, now accounts for 10–15% of surgical procedures and is also the subject of national and international conferences, with its own specialist societies. Hernia management, formerly a little-regarded stepchild, has now become an important branch of general surgery, with a major research impetus and a deluge of medical devices. Compared with other branches of surgery, patients are usually younger and have longer life expectancy. In the 1980s and 1990s, the development of hernia surgery experienced something of a gold-rush mentality; what had been left to the youngest trainee surgeons now became the focus of attention thanks to new methods, modern materials, and revised scientific ideas. Even the opinion leaders of the surgical associations were now interested in hernia surgery and visited and chaired conferences on this topic. Not least due to their influence, new methods, new materials, new companies, new concepts, new “pioneers”, and new questions shot up like mushrooms. Hardly any conference dared to omit hernia as a leading topic and even today, the announcement of a hernia session regularly attracts hundreds of interested surgeons. After the success story of the last quarter century, the initiators may be permitted to look back at what they accomplished and define what has been tried and tested. The history of hernia surgery will continue to develop steadily in future but nevertheless this manual, which makes recommendations for routine surgical practice, appears justified. What was a delicate shoot has now become a strong, important, and pioneering branch of surgery with numerous sturdy side-branches. The authors hope that this English edition will attract as much attention as the first edition 25 years ago.
