“…Potential morbidity of cranial donor sites include scalp hematoma, intracranial hemorrhage and brain injury, while for rib donor sites complications may include pneumothorax and persistent chest wall pain. 8,9 Potential complications associated with intraoral donor sites include pain, bleeding, infection, and temporary or permanent paresthesia or dysesthesia of the teeth, gingiva, lip, and chin. 4,10 Distraction osteogenesis also is not without its drawbacks.…”

Endosseous implants are the treatment of choice for restoring function and reconstructing most edentulous areas of the maxilla and mandible. In general, alveolar bone defects can be reconstructed by either distraction osteogenesis or autogenous bone grafting. After alveolar reconstruction, endosseous implants are used to support and retain the prosthesis for restoration of form and function. Eighty-two consecutive patients requiring alveolar augmentation prior to implant placement were evaluated. All patients were given treatment options for reconstructing their alveolar defects, which included autogenous bone grafting vs distraction osteogenesis. Sixty-five patients received autogenous grafts (anterior iliac crest: 44; retromolar: 17; tibia: 2; chin: 2), and 17 patients underwent distraction osteogenesis prior to implant placement. A total of 184 implants were placed in the autogenous bone-grafted sites and 56 implants in the distracted bone sites. Implants placed in sites restored with autogenous bone grafts had an implant success rate of 97% (178/184), whereas implants placed in distracted bone sites had a success rate of 98% (55/56). In the autogenous grafted group, 3 implants failed in the posterior mandible, one in the anterior maxilla, one in the anterior mandible, and one in the posterior maxilla. In the distraction group, one implant failed in the posterior mandible. Both techniques are associated with good success rates. There was no statistical difference between implant success in autogenous bone vs distracted bone sites in this group of patients.

“…A variety of graft materials and methods of application have been described for endoscopic CSF leak repair. These include the use of local flaps, of which the middle turbinate osteomucoperiosteal flap 2,3 or the septal mucoperichondrial flap 4,5 are the most notable and practiced examples, or free grafts, that may be harvested from local nasal sites, including turbinate mucosa or septal cartilage, or from distant areas such as temporalis fascia, fat, or calvarial bone 6 . The use of alloplastic material, in the form of hydroxyapatite cement (HAC), has also been documented 7 .…”

“…Their rate of recurrence was much higher than that in children with other types of CSFR. Of them, 2 were with meningoencephalocele which indicated that it was easy for a graft to displace when it had been used to close a big defect, and eventually, it was difficult for the defect to successfully close [25]. The authors treated CSF leaks in the aforesaid 2 cases via the combined intracranial and endoscopic approach with autogenous grafts.…”
