‍Procedure in Detail:

‍The patient was seen in the preoperative holding area with a H&P was updated, consents were verified, surgical site marked, and all questions and concerns related to the proposed procedure were discussed in detail.  The patient was transferred to the operating room by the anesthesia team.  The patient underwent general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. Tegaderms were placed over the eyes. The patient was prepped and draped in the standard fashion for maxillofacial procedures.  A time-out was performed and the procedure began.

Local anesthesia was infiltrated around all quadrants. Arch segments were digitally reduced and an Erich arch bar was adapted to the maxilla and trimmed. It was secured to maxillary teeth in a sequential fashion with 24g wire. An arch bar was then secured to the mandible in a similar fashion. The posterior pharynx was suctioned. An OG tube was used to suction out the contents of the stomach. The patient was then placed into maxillomandibular fixation via 24g wires. All excess wires were then trimmed. Dental wax was placed over sharp metallic surfaces for comfort.

The patient's face was then cleaned. Tegaderms were removed from the eyes. Dressings were placed. The patient was then transferred back to the care of the anesthesia team for extubation and recovery.
