    Cleft Palate Repair: Techniques, Timing, and Outcomes
    2025/08/27

    In this episode, we cover the embryology, classification, and repair of nonsyndromic cleft palate. Techniques discussed include Bardach two-flap, Furlow double-opposing Z-plasty, and radical intravelar veloplasty, with emphasis on timing (9–12 months), outcomes, and complications.

  • Navigating Complex Facial Trauma: A Resident’s Guide to Diagnosis and Management

    Navigating Complex Facial Trauma: A Resident’s Guide to Diagnosis and Management
    2025/08/27

    In this episode of Plastics in Practice, we explore the anatomy, diagnosis, and surgical management of facial fractures — including frontal sinus, nasoethmoidal, orbital, zygomatic, and mandibular injuries. We review mechanisms of injury, key radiographic findings, surgical exposures, fixation strategies, and complication avoidance. Practical pearls include when to observe vs. operate, selecting fixation methods, approaches to nerve blocks, and sequencing in panfacial trauma.
