Longitudinal Outcomes of a Multimodal Treatment Approach Including Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Pierre Robin Sequence

摘要

PURPOSE: Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may effectively treat more and less severe forms of tongue-based airway obstruction in Pierre Robin Sequence, respectively. This study aims to demonstrate safety and longitudinal outcomes for these 2 approaches in accordingly selected patient populations.
