Correction of Symptomatic Chronic Nasal Airway Obstruction in Conjunction With Bimaxillary Orthognathic Surgery: Does It Complicate Recovery and Is It Effective?
When completing septoplasty and ITR through a Le Fort I, airway management need not be altered from standard protocol. The management of CONB in conjunction with orthognathic surgery is highly effective, with few complications. Non-segmental Le Fort I in patients at least 40 years of age is more likely to be associated with residual CONB, but the incidence remains low.
Only small differences in practice productivity between men and women were demonstrated in a survey of nearly all obstetrician-gynecologists in Washington State. Changing demographics and behaviors of the obstetrician-gynecologist workforce will require ongoing longitudinal studies to confirm these findings and determine whether they are generalizable to the rest of the United States.
