Fig. 29.4 Genioglossus advancement (GA). Improvement of the airway collapse at the level of the tongue base is seen with a mild modication of the chin area that has been displaced anteriorly at the level of insertion of the genioglossus muscle
S. Y.-C. Liu and K. Schwartz
29.2.2 Indications
Isolated GA, or combined with a genioplasty (GGA), is typically one component of multilevel sleep surgery for OSA.The primary indication for GA is airway obstruc­tion at the hypopharyngeal level, especially in conjunction with a retruded position of the tongue base, in the absence of lingual tonsillar hypertrophy. OSA patients with mandibular retrognathism and microgenia will benet from GA in combina­tion with a genioplasty (GGA), as it addresses hypopharyngeal obstruction and den­tofacial deformity (Fig.29.4).
29.2.3 Surgical Technique
GA is performed under general anesthesia. A reinforced oral endotracheal tube is secured to either lip commissure allows adequate exposure of the surgical eld. A vestibular incision is made 1.5 to 2.0cm from the mucogingival junction, through the labial mucosa. At this point, the approach is perpendicular to the distended lower lip. Once the mentalis muscles are identied, the approach takes an oblique path toward the inferior border of the anterior mandible prior to subperiosteal dis­section to access the bone. This detail during the approach is essential because, without it, there would often be inadequate muscle and mucosal cuff to close with the advanced bone graft.

Subperiosteal dissection is extended bilaterally along the inferior border until the mental nerve is identied on both sides. For an isolated GA (anterior mandibular osteotomy) only, identication of the genial tubercle can be made by palpating the oor of the mouth or measuring its position from the preoperative CT. However, with a preoperative CT scan, a 3-dimensional (3D) cutting guides can be made to direct osteotomy toward the exact location of the genial tubercle. A rectangular osteotomy is made through the outer cortex. The osteotomy is typically 10mm by 20mm and the superior osteotomy should be places a least 5mm inferior to the root apices. To avoid mandibular fracture, the inferior osteotomy should be approxi­mately 8mm above the inferior border of the mandible. A bicortical screw is placed though the center of the rectangular osteotomy to allow manipulation of the bone fragment. The osteotomy cuts are then completed through the inner cortex. Maintaining parallel walls in the osteotomy cuts is important to prevent tapering on the inner cortex. By grasping the bicortical screw, the bone fragment can be gently advanced and rotated 90 degrees in either direction. The outer cortex and bone mar­row is removed with a round cutting bur or electric piezo saw, and the fragment is xated with a titanium screw at the inferior border. A round or pear-shaped cutting burr may be used to contour the advanced bone fragment.
For a genioglossus and genioplasty advancement (GGA) the osteotomy includes both the genial tubercle and the inferior border of the mandible. This is particularly useful in patients with mandibular retrognathism and low hyoid position or in patients with insufcient chin length for an isolated GA. Osteotomy guides and patient specic implants (PSI) can be designed by virtual-surgical-planning (VSP) and used intraoperatively to ensure precise location of the genial tubercle, avoid­ance of vital structures and accuracy and stability in the surgical procedure. In cases where the genial tubercles are in unfavorable positions, they should be avoided. When genial tubercles are superior and close to the dentoalveolar bone, capturing them would increase risk of dentoalveolar fracture. As stated earlier, the genioplasty advancement can still address dentofacial deformity, decrease possible mentalis strain, and still provide tension for the suprahyoid muscles (Fig.29.5).
Sufcient hemostasis should be ensured before wound closure. Inadvertent injury to the sublingual artery and veins can easily occur with a reciprocating saw and lead to the formation of a postoperative sublingual hematoma. The surgical incision is closed in two layers with a suspension of the mentalist muscle with hori­zontal mattress sutures and by closing the mucosa with interrupted sutures. No other dressing is needed if the approach is performed correctly and there is adequate muscle for suspension and closure.

29.2.4 Postoperative Care
Overnight observation after GA or genioplasty surgery is highly recommended because of the risk of sublingual hematoma formation or tongue swelling that may lead to upper airway obstruction. When the patient undergoes multilevel surgery, including septoplasty, pharyngoplasty, and GGA, a higher level of overnight care

may be needed. The decision depends on the type and length of surgery, periopera­tive complications, comorbidity of the patient, OSA severity, and the possibility of CPAP use. Postoperative pain control is managed with oral analgesia. Patients can begin with a mechanical soft diet for comfort but should not have restrictions after mucosal wound healing, which is most accurately assessed at 2 weeks postoperatively.
29.2.5 Complications
GA is associated with wound infections, persistent paresthesia of the anterior lower lip, and dental injury, with incidence rates of 2%, 6%, and 1%, respectively [37]. Mandibular fractures in the symphysis region can occur, particularly in the tech­niques that violate the inferior border of the mandible. Alternatively, if the osteot­omy is superior to the alveolar bone, alveolar fractures can occur and are more challenging to address than inferior border fractures. The lower border fractures lend themselves to further open reduction and xation. The superior border fracture can only be addressed with maxillomandibular xation (arch bars) for several weeks. Intraoperatively avulsion of the genioglossus muscle from its attachment at the posterior mandibular border is the worst complication in GA surgery and is a serious airway risk.

29.3 Maxillomandibular Advancement
Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) remains one of the most effective surgical interventions for patients with OSA.Riley and Powell pioneered the procedure at Stanford Hospital in the late 1980s The surgery addresses both skeletal support and soft tissue suspension of the upper airway, which treats OSA and airway collaps­ibility [38]. MMA enlarges the upper airway space at multiple anatomic locations, including the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx [39]. MMA involves Le Fort I maxillary and bilateral sagittal ramus split mandibular osteotomies with advancement of the maxilla and mandible, and frequently accompanied by counter­clockwise rotation [40]. The counterclockwise rotation with an adequately selected rotation center allows for a more signicant lower jaw advancement than the upper while maintaining proper occlusion and facial balance. The anatomic limit of coun­terclockwise rotation depends on (1) maxillary incisal show and (2) the length of mandible that is available for adequate xation after rotation and advancement. Ultimately, the terminology of MMA, suggesting advancement only, is not entirely captive of the complexity of maxillary and mandibular movements (Fig.29.6).
A meta-analysis by Holty and Guilleminault examined 22 studies involving 627 patients who underwent MMA and reported a mean AHI decrease from 63.9 to 9.5 events per hour [41]. The surgical success rate was 86%, and the cure rate (AHI <5) was 43.2%. Predictors of increased surgical success include younger age, lower pre­operative AHI and BMI, and a greater degree of maxillary advancement. An updated meta-analysis with 45 studies and 528 patients reported a surgical success and cure rate of 85.5% and 38%, respectively [42]. In 40 patients who underwent MMA with an average follow-up of 4.2years (range 1–12years), 36 (90%) maintained a signi­cant reduction in the respiratory disturbance index from 71.2 to 7.6 events per hour with improvement in daytime sleepiness [43]. Following MMA, most patients report improvements in health-related quality of life, depression, excessive daytime sleepi­ness, memory impairment, and hypertension [44]. It has also been shown to improve sleep architecture by increasing the percentage of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and decreasing wakefulness after sleep onset (WASO) [45, 46].

29.3.1 Indications
MMA is recommended for: (1) patients with moderate to severe OSAS with or without a history of phase 1 surgery (tonsillectomy, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with genioglossus advancement), (2) OSA patients of any severity with concurrent dentofacial deformity, and (3) concentric and lateral pharyngeal wall collapse seen in DISE [46, 47]. (Fig.29.1).
29.3.2 Preoperative Planning
OSA patients planned to have MMA surgery may present with a normal class I occlusion or varying degrees of malocclusion. In patients with malocclusions or dental compensated class II or class III occlusion, orthodontic treatment in conjunc­tion with MMA can facilitate more optimal skeletal advancement of the maxillofa­cial complex.
Preoperative surgical planning of MMA has changed dramatically with the intro­duction of virtual-surgical planning (VSP). With a computer tomography (CT) or cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) scan of the face, and dental or digital models in the desired occlusion, surgeons can use VSP to plan skeletal movements with versatility and precision. VSP also generates anatomical landmarks and infor­mation to be used intraoperatively: (1) distance from the mandibular cortex to the inferior alveolar nerve, (2) height of the lingula relative to the occlusal plane, (3) impact of occlusal plane changes associated with counterclockwise rotation, and (4) presence of anatomic anomalies.
Custom plating can increase precision and decrease operative time in MMA sur­gery. It is important to note, however, that, unlike classic orthognathic surgery, the exact position of the maxillomandibular complex is subject to alterations or adjust­ments intraoperatively, in which case the preplanned plates may not work. The senior author typically plans cases with two movements, where one usually has more rotation and less advancement, and the other has less rotation and more advancement. Since the surgeon intraoperatively controls the pitch, having these two plans and their associated intermediate splints allows for a wide range of move­ments to optimize breathing and beauty.
Classic orthognathic surgery is planned with the patient in the so-called “natural head position.” This is with the patient standing relaxed, facing forward, while the clinician assesses the patient from the side, prole view. As many patients with long-term OSA have an exaggerated forward head tilt, planning from this position will mask the degree of maxillomandibular deciency. Therefore, it is important to gently guide the patient’s head position such that the neck is in a straight, neutral position, while the face maintains the Frankfort horizontal. It is important to remem­ber that an OSA patient’s “natural head position” is frequently natural but not healthy. With maxillofacial surgical treatment, patients can frequently restore less strained neck and body posture with retraining.

29.3.3 Surgical Technique
Nasal RAE tubes are frequently used in orthognathic surgery. However, OSA patients often have longer airways, where RAE tubes tend to fall short. The cuff may come close to the vocal cord, resulting in trauma or inadequate seal, contribut­ing to interoperative air leak or hypoventilation. To address this, the larger lumen RAE tubes tend to be used, severely distorting the nose. Strategy, including the use of a micro-laryngeal tube (MLT) positioned adequately with a 120-degree reverse metal connector, is described in our broader, overall strategy to optimize nasal func­tion during MMA [48].
The sequencing of MMA surgery is based on the surgeon’s experience and pref­erence. Mandible-rst approach has been recommended to remove potential condy­lar position errors in the interocclusal registration before surgery [49]. However, committing to the mandible rst means that there is no room to adjust the maxilla if it is deemed during surgery that more advancement or rotation (both clockwise or counterclockwise), is desirable. As systematic reviews and meta-analyses have shown the maxilla to be the critical driver to surgical success, the maxilla rst may be preferable for the airway. Fortunately, in the era of VSP, where custom maxillary plates can be designed, this may mitigate the classic issue of condylar registration preoperatively.
Patients who are not in orthodontic braces are initially equipped with arch bars or intermaxillary xation (IMF) screws. To access the maxilla, a mucosal incision is made approximately 1cm superior to the mucogingival junction from the premolar area to the premolar area perpendicular to the maxilla. Subperiosteal dissection is then performed with a periosteal elevator within the following boundaries: (1) medi­ally to the piriform rims, (2) superiorly to the area of the infraorbital nerve foramen, (3) laterally to the inferior zygomatic and maxillary buttress, and (4) nasal oor posteriorly to the palatine bone. A curved freer elevator may assist with the dissec­tion of the nasal mucosa, and it is easiest to begin the exposure from the lateral aspect of the perform aperture and proceed in an inferior-medical direction. A toe­out retractor is placed in the pterygomaxillary junction to expose the maxillary but­tress. A periosteal elevator or malleable retractor is inserted medially to the piriform rim to protect the nasal mucosa.
The osteotomy is then initiated at the lateral maxillary buttress and extended through the piriform rim below the inferior turbinate utilizing a reciprocating saw. The osteotomy is then mirrored on the contralateral side, and the lateral maxillary buttress can then be “back cut” by reinserting the reciprocating saw into the lateral portion of the osteotomy and passing it in a medial to lateral direction.
Disjunction of the maxilla from the septum, medial nasal wall, and pterygomax­illary junction is completed with straight and curved osteotomes. Down-fracture of the maxilla is performed with gentle digital pressure at the anterior nasal spine region. Completing the down-fracture should be followed by careful inspection for any active bleeding, that needs to be controlled. Efforts should be made to preserve the descending palatine arteries by carefully removing the maxillary pyramidal

process that may lacerate the vessel during mobilization, advancement, and impac­tion of the maxilla. In addition, the removed bone pieces from the maxilla can be used for later bone grafting of the osteotomy sites.
A thorough mobilization of the maxilla important to allow a tension-free reposi­tioning of the maxilla into the planned position. A 24-gauge wire with a Kocher clamp through the anterior nasal spine is used to perform simultaneous traction of the anterior maxilla toward the right and left while gently pushing the posterior maxilla anteriorly with a distractor. In large counterclockwise rotations, further mobilization is performed by pushing the posterior maxilla downward while hold­ing the anterior maxilla upward. The use of Rowe’s disimpaction forceps transmits excessive force and is strongly discouraged by the rst author. The key to the mobi­lization of the maxilla is not in pulling it forward but in rocking it sideways. The excessive force with the Rowe forceps in older patients is especially problematic with the risk of unintended fractures.
A planned impaction will require bone reduction and reduction of the nasal sep­tum to allow for appropriate repositioning and to prevent nasal septal deviation. The piriform aperture and nasal oor widening are performed with a pineapple burr. Septoplasty can also be performed with an exposure of the septum inferiorly. These modications improve both form and function of the nasal structures after MMA [48]. In reality, to achieve an esthetic nose after MMA, the entire process includes pre-, peri-, and postoperative considerations. Our results from patient-reported out­come measures are favorable with the advent of these considerations [50].
With the maxilla and mandible secure in the intermediate splint, measurements are made to ensure movements planned for yaw, cant, and pitch are accurate. The maxilla can be xated in various of ways, using the vertical pillars of strength (piri­form and buttress). The suspension wiring technique is highly desirable especially with older patients and more signicant movements. They are discussed in detail as part of the contemporary Stanford MMA, though it has been utilized since the pro­cedure’s earliest days [40].
Access to the mandible begins with a vestibular incision starting 10–15mm pos­terior to the second molar and continues 1cm inferior from the mucogingival junc­tion to the second premolar. This incision should be through the buccinator muscles and allow a muscular cuff to close after mandibular advancement. The subperiosteal elevation is made buccally in the rst and second molar, and the inferior border of the mandible is stripped. The anterior border of the ramus is elevated, and the tem­poralis muscle attachment is stripped to gain access to the medial ramus. The loca­tion of the lingula is either directly visualized or probed with a blunt nerve retractor. If the subperiosteal elevation at the medical ramus is performed correctly, one should obtain a “tent effect,” in which a curved retractor reects the entire soft tissue ap and exposes the medical surface of the ramus and protects the inferior alveolar nerve posterior to it.
To improve visibility and access to the medial ramus, a round oval bur can be used to trim a groove toward the lingula. The bony protuberance of the lingual should be removed for more predictable split that allows for the maximum area of contact after mandibular advancement. The sagittal ramus split osteotomy is made

with a reciprocating saw well seated in the groove created. Various ultrasonic cut­ting instruments have also become popular. To maximize bony overlap in signicant advancement, the anterior vertical osteotomy is made just to the midline of the inferior cortex. A deeper osteotomy cut in a lingual direction beyond the midline of the inferior cortex results in a thin posterior lingual bone plate that can be insuf­cient for bicortical screw xation in large advancements [51].
Splitting and separation of the tooth-bearing segment from the condylar segment begins with completion of the medical ramus osteotomy with a straight osteotome. Straight osteotomes are sequentially wedged together to widen the gap at the ante­rior part of the osteotomy until a complete separation is achieved. The separation and location of the inferior alveolar nerve is checked before the tooth-bearing seg­ment is mobilized thoroughly. The tooth-bearing segment is then advanced and placed into the nal splint. When movements are signicant, the suspension wires described earlier are highly desirable to begin the process of wire maxillomandibu­lar xation prior to rigid plate xation. The suspension wires, which are anchored to parts of the facial bone not involved in the osteotomies, confer stability to maxillo­mandibular xation.
Fixation of the mandible begins with a trocar-assisted access for perpendicular placement of bicortical screws through the condylar and dentate segments. The assistant surgeon holds the condylar segment ensuring proper condylar seating. It is desirable to have the condylar segment placed slightly lower than the dentate seg­ment at the inferior border. In essence, one is creating a longer ramus by using part of the body of the mandible. The biomechanics, in a signicant advancement with such a placement, place less stress on the condyle and reduces the likelihood of a condylar sag. Typically, two bicortical screws are placed, followed by a 1.5mm thick plate spanning the advancement gap. Therefore, the plate sits passively on the bone, and nonlocking screws are used.
After xation, the wire MMF is released, and the mandible should be rotated in and out of the nal occlusion to conrm a (1) stable rotation, (2) reproducible occlu­sion, and (3) bilateral canine excursion. The osteotomy gaps in the mandible and maxilla can be grafted to facilitate bone healing postoperatively. Prior to the closure of the vestibular incision, the septum is checked for passive seating along the maxil­lary crest. An alar cinch suture with 3-0 Vicryl is used to restore alar base width. The mucoperiosteal ap is closed with 3-0 chromic in a continuous fashion, and V-Y anterior lip lengthening may be considered. The sagittal split incisions are closed with 3-0 Vicryl in interrupted sutures. Guiding elastics are placed in a class II direction.
Final splints, commonly used postoperatively in classic orthognathic surgery, are an added burden for OSA patients. OSA patients are frequently anxious about breathing, and the placement of a nal splint and expected postoperative nasal con­gestion make for a difcult initial postoperative period. Furthermore, without the nal splint, dental remodeling can often work in the patient’s favor as part of the accelerated orthodontics movement. Unless there are special considerations in surgery- rst orthodontic set-up, where the occlusion is designed in a particular way, nal splints are not recommended nor needed postoperatively.

29.3.4 Postoperative Care
OSA patients are predisposed to dynamic airway collapse, and prevention of airway obstruction after MMA surgery is the top priority. The level of care for MMA patients postoperatively is determined by patient, surgeon, and hospital system­related factors. Historically, patients at Stanford were extubated in the OR but kept overnight in the ICU for observation. Currently, with advances in anesthesia, surgi­cal time, and postoperative care, patients are sent to a regular ward familiar with MMA patients postoperatively. The typical stay is two nights, which patients famil­iarize with a liquid diet and nasal irrigation and are comfortable with pain control.
A mean arterial pressure below 90mm Hg is helpful to minimize the risk of epistaxis associated with the LeFort I osteotomy. To prevent postoperative edema, patients receive intravenous corticosteroids. Postoperative pain control is essential but excessive sedation of OSA patients should be avoided. Intravenous antibiotic is given in the beginning of surgery and an empiric prophylaxis is continued for a total of 5–7days.
Nasal saline rinses are initiated on the rst postoperative day to improve nasal patency. Patient requirements for discharge include reasonable pain control in oral medication, adequate oral intake, and a patent airway. The arch bars or suspension wires are removed 6–8 weeks after surgery, together with a postoperative DISE.Sleep studies are conducted 10–12months after surgery to allow adequate time for airway muscle remodeling and neuroventilatory reexes stabilization.
Paresthesia of the V2 and V3 nerves are known side effects from orthognathic or MMA surgery. MMA surgery, with its larger mandibular skeletal movement, the inferior alveolar (IA) branch of the V3 nerve is the most affected (Fig.29.7). Patients

are counseled on the possibility of long-term or permanent numbness of the chin and lower lip region. Injury to the nerve occurs during the mandibular split, which is frequently performed in older patients without much marrow space in the man­dible. When the condylar and dentate segments are xated, the compression of the IA can also prolong paresthesia. Finally, the stretch of the nerve also contributes. From the Stanford team, we advise patients concerned about permanent numbness of the chin and lower lip, even in a small distribution, to reconsider MMA surgery very carefully. To minimize the impact of IA paresthesia, patients are recommended perioperative high dose of omega-3 supplementation. An aggressive neurobiofeed­back exercise postoperatively has also been helpful for patients. Surgical techniques described above with regards to the wedging versus mandibular split technique pio­neered by Riley and Powell are also essential for optimizing the osteotomy and protecting the IA nerve.

29.3.5 Complications
MMA confers higher rates of complications than orthognathic surgery in younger patients with dentofacial deformity [52]. There are signicantly higher infection rates, hardware failure, and the need for reoperation. Compared to patients undergo­ing routine orthognathic surgery, OSA patients undergoing MMA have signicantly more dysesthesia, infection, velopharyngeal insufciency, need for hardware removal, and need for reoperation.
Avascular necrosis of the palate is a rare complication. If there is an indication that the blood supply to the maxilla is inadequate the surgeon should reposition the maxilla to its original position and suspend the procedure. Besides greater efcacy with single piece maxillary advancements, risk of avascular necrosis further dis­courages multipiece maxillary osteotomies for OSA patients.
Postoperative functional or cosmetic nasal problems that require surgical inter­vention affect up to 18% of patients undergoing MMA.However, techniques from Stanford have greatly improved this outcome, both objectively and patient-reported [48, 50].
Overall, MMA is a safe procedure regarding mortality rate, but OSA patients should be counseled preoperatively regarding the relative increased risk of compli­cations known to similar maxillofacial procedures.
29.4 Maxillary Expansion Surgery
Maxillary morphology is an essential anatomic element for the obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) pathophysiology [53]. OSA patients with transverse maxillary hypo­plasia and high-arched and narrow hard palate struggle with increased nasal airow resistance and an inferior–posterior tongue resting position that worsens hypopha­ryngeal airway collapse [54] (Fig.29.8). Healthy people breathe through the nose during sleep, generally, with a total sleep time of less than 4% reported as oral
