A Nationwide Analysis of the Impact of Craniofacial Syndromes on Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis Outcomes
This nationwide analysis indicates that while overall complication rates for MDO are similar, those with craniofacial syndromes face greater challenges, including higher reoperation rates, longer LOS, and lower same-day discharge rates, compared to patients without craniofacial syndromes. These results underscore the need for tailored postoperative care strategies to improve outcomes for this unique patient population.
