Whenever macroglossia is presented and a glossectomy is to be performed (Fig.15), tongue swelling may pose a risk of upper air way obstruction and/or dys­phagia and a higher risk of aspiration. Special care should be taken in patients with a wide and short neck who are to have a mandible setback, and for those who—even when they do not present with sleep obstructive apnea syndrome (SOAS)—com­plain of snoring. In these cases, tracheostomy may be necessary to prevent airway collapse during the postoperative period. An intensive care unit stay is recom­mended for these patients during the initial postoperative period due to the risk of respiratory obstruction when tracheostomy is not the rst option.
Finally, some comments are needed on the choice of the tracheostomy cannula. Since it is common to have some blood coming from the nose and mouth, together with saliva, after orthognathic surgery, and considering some dysphagia on the rst days, the cannula must have a cuff. In patients who require a long period of trache­ostomy, a cannula with a cuff and an inner cannula is the best choice.
Dentofacial Deformity Characteristics andTheir Relationship withtheAirway
Normally, patients who are to be treated by orthognathic surgery are classied according to the deformity presented. As an example, deformities such as a long or short face, asymmetries, anterior/posterior excess or deciency, or transverse de­ciencies of the maxilla or the mandible can present in isolation or together in a patient (Fig.16).
Deformities with a deciency, such as retrognathia or maxillary atresia, can be associated with a narrow upper airway, and the best method to maintain it during and after the surgery should be dened preoperatively. For some cases, broncho­broscopy may be indicated for the intubation procedure (Fig.17).

In cases in which a narrow nasal cavity is presented, the choice of submental intubation should be considered [8, 21]. The necessity for maintaining maxilloman­dibular immobilization during orthognathic surgery prevents the possibility of per­forming oral intubation. For these cases, oral intubation followed by submental intubation, as previously described in this chapter, are highly recommended [13].
In order to surgically treat these patients, tracheostomy is rarely employed, since the main concern is to provide an airway for surgical and anesthesiological pur­poses. In case of a restricted bone anatomy and constricted airway, the outcome of the surgical treatment normally improves the airway volume, leading to a better breathing pattern, even during the immediate postoperative period.
In contrast to this, DFD with excess in the sagittal, coronal, and/or axial planes may acquire a more constricted condition postoperatively. It may also imply a more constricted airway. Naturally, the treatment planning must consider these possibili­ties, and the patient might need a longer period of intubation or a tracheostomy. In fact, only in very rare situations will an orthognathic patient undergo these procedures.
Although unlikely to happen, some special conditions should be mentioned due to the high risk of complications arising from them. Whenever it is necessary to employ any kind of positive pressure ventilator system, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), during the postoperative period (especially in the rst month), an elective tracheostomy is indi­cated as the rst step of the surgery. This avoids the risk of subcutaneous emphy­sema or further complications such as pneumomediastinum [14, 15]. These are conditions that would probable compromise the airway, and under these circum­stances, a tracheostomy or even a cricothyroidostomy would be very difcult to perform.
As a clinical example, a case of DFD and myasthenia gravis depending on BiPAP is presented (Fig.18). An elective tracheostomy was performed and orthognathic surgery, together with rhinoplasty, was done. Ventilatory assistance was applied and, after a couple of months, the patient was decannulated without any concern.

Dentofacial Deformity Treatment Planning

Orthognathic treatment planning involves measurement of dentofacial discrepan­cies and makes a prediction regarding the surgical movements of the maxilla and/or the mandible. With the possibility of doing this procedure virtually, with computer­aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) resources, additional information concerning the airway evaluation can be obtained. However, some bias can be noted when this planning is based on a computed tomography (CT) scan and not on a dynamic evaluation of the upper airways. These methods can partially predict the airway volume after surgery, acting as a warning about the risk of airway compro­mise. Nevertheless, they cannot be taken as a secure predictable method for this purpose (Fig.19).

Still, treatment planning can consider the necessity of surgical procedures for the osteotomies, such as glossectomy, rhinoplasty, septoplasty, or turbinectomy [16, 22].
With the increasing indication of orthognathic surgery as a treatment method for SOAS, uvulopalatoplasty and other pharyngeal procedures can be put together with the previously described surgeries [17, 18]. Although these are procedures normally performed separately from orthognathic surgery, elective tracheostomy should be an available choice if they are done together.
Endonasal surgeries, such as septoplasty and/or turbinectomy, are often done together with orthognathic surgery without worsening the risk of airway obstruc­tion. When performed, glossectomy of the anterior two thirds of the tongue can compromise the airway and cause an obstruction [16, 19]. In cases such as this, effort in breathing can be the etiology of subcutaneous emphysema and pneumotho­rax. There are literature data presenting cases of pneumothorax and pneumomedias­tinum due to the effort to breathe after orthognathic surgery [14, 15, 20]. A tracheostomy may be indicated in these cases, but not electively.

Uvulopalatoplasty and/or glossectomy of the base of the tongue are presented as possible treatments for SOAS (Fig.20). Whenever they are planned to be performed together with orthognathic surgery, special care should be taken related to the risk of postoperative airway obstruction due to the increased swelling expected with these procedures, although smaller soft tissue pharyngeal surgeries may be done along with the orthognathic surgery with minor risk [8]. Elective tracheostomy may also be considered in these cases.
Rhinoplasty can be done together with orthognathic surgery whenever it appears to be necessary, or according to the wishes of the patient [22]. Since the orthogna­thic surgery is performed rst, nasotracheal intubation is used because it is manda­tory to immobilize the maxilla and the mandible together while establishing and xing them. To perform rhinoplasty, a change from naso- to orotracheal intubation is needed. Care should be taken for this procedure; the anesthesiologist must be condent in doing it, and the use of a bronchoberscope or a bougie may be neces­sary. When changing the endotracheal tube is not an option, submental intubation is the best choice (Figs.21 and 22). A tracheostomy would be indicated only if a com­plication is presented.
Finally, an accurate preoperative evaluation related to the upper airways such as maximum mouth opening, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) mobility, a Mallampati test, and other data can classify the degree of difculty in accessing the airway [32].

Final Considerations

Tracheostomy has a relevant role in cranial and maxillofacial surgery, and its use should be considered whenever any procedures of this surgical modality are being planned [2, 6, 15, 2326]. Although it is rare, patients undergoing orthognathic sur­gery, patients with trauma or trauma sequelae, patients with craniomaxillofacial congenital anomalies, and those about to undergo reconstruction procedures in this eld may need a tracheostomy in order to make an airway viable, in either an emer­gency or elective manner. All of these clinical conditions have received attention from the authors concerning whether to perform a tracheostomy or not. The litera­ture also presents data on this subject.
Nasotracheal intubation is the rst option for orthognathic surgery, such as man­dible fractures and fractures of the lower middle third of the facial skeleton. Upper middle third and superior facial third fractures will require orotracheal intubation. In cases of combined fractures, such as panfacial fractures, submental intubation or tracheostomy should be chosen, unless it is feasible not to do it. If necessary, peri­operative maxillomandibular immobilization, nasotracheal intubation, or submental intubation is the rst choice.
Whenever a long period of intubation is expected—for instance, in a patient with facial fractures, brain injuries, and chest trauma—there is an indication to perform a tracheostomy, if it has not yet been done [27].
