Abstract

OBJECTIVE: In this study, the authors aimed to 1) retrospectively analyze the early functional outcomes in a cohort of very young children with craniofacial dysostoses who underwent robot-assisted frontofacial advancement (RAFFA) or robot-assisted midface distraction (RAMD), and 2) analyze the utility of robotic assistance in improving the accuracy and safety of performing transfacial pin insertion for RAFFA or RAMD.
