Carlo Guevara: Principles of Orthognathic Surgery and Applications in Challenging Craniofacial Cases

Dr. Guevara will focus on the intricate and demanding nature of treating complex craniofacial deformities. His talk highlights the critical principles guiding orthognathic surgery, particularly when conventional approaches fall short. The discussion centers on the innovative techniques and multidisciplinary strategies required to address severe anomalies, such as congenital deformities, trauma-induced irregularities, and asymmetries resulting from growth disorders. By exploring case studies and advanced surgical interventions, his talk underscores the importance of precise planning, cutting-edge technology, and personalized care in overcoming the unique challenges presented by these intricate cases, ultimately aiming to restore function and aesthetics for improved patient outcomes.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the core principles of orthognathic surgery as applied to complex craniofacial deformities, including congenital, traumatic, and growth-related anomalies.

2. Identify limitations of conventional surgical approaches and articulate when advanced or multidisciplinary strategies are indicated.

3. Analyze case studies to understand the integration…
