    Abstract Background: Linton A. Whitaker is a pioneer of craniofacial surgery. He served as chief of plastic surgery at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and University of Pennsylvania and director of the craniofacial training program. Herein, the authors reflect on his legacy by studying the accomplishments of his trainees.
    Methods: Dr Whitaker's trainees who completed (a) craniofacial fellowship training while he was director of the program or (b) residency training while he was chief were identified. Curricula vitae were reviewed. Variables analyzed included geographic locations, practice types, academic leadership positions, scholarly work, and bibliometric data.
    Results: Between 1980 and 2011, 34 surgeons completed craniofacial fellowship training under Dr Whitaker, and 11 completed plastic surgery training under his chairmanship and subsequent craniofacial fellowship. The majority had active craniofacial practices after training (83.3%) and practice in an academic setting (78.0%). Most settled in the northeast (31.1%) and south (31.1%) but across 24 states nationally. Overall, the mean ± SD number of publications was 76 ± 81 (range, 2-339); book chapters, 23 ± 29 (0-135); H-index, 18 ± 12 (1-45); and grants, 13 ± 16 (0-66). Of those who pursued academia, 53.1% were promoted to full professor, 46.9% had a program director role, 75.0% directed a craniofacial program, and 53.1% achieved the rank of chief/chair.
    Conclusions: Equally important to Dr Whitaker's clinical contributions in plastic and craniofacial surgery is the development and success of his trainees who will undoubtedly continue the legacy of training the next generation of craniofacial surgeon leaders.

    Abstract Abstract: In the pediatric general surgery literature, it has been shown that prenatal diagnosis of a congenital anomaly is an independent predictor of parental psychological distress. Surgical prenatal counseling can decrease parental anxiety by helping families understand the surgical needs and potential outcomes of their infant. In this retrospective analysis (n = 440), the authors sought to present our care pathway for prenatally diagnosed cleft lip and palate (CL/P) and explore the impact of cleft lip and palate-specific prenatal counseling on patient care by comparing the timing of clinical and surgical care between a cohort of patients who received prenatal CL/P consultation and a cohort of patients only seen postnatally. The authors hypothesize that our multidisciplinary prenatal care intervention is associated with earlier postnatal clinic visits and surgical repair. The care of all patients whose mother's presented for prenatal CL/P consultation (prenatal cohort, n = 118) was compared to all new CL/P patients without prenatal consultation at our institution (postnatal cohort, n = 322) from January 2015 through August 2019. 81.4% (n = 96) of the prenatal cohort returned for care postnatally while 2 pregnancies were interrupted, four neonates died, and 15 patients did not return for care. Prenatal consultation was associated with earlier postnatal clinic appointments (P < 0.001) as well as a shorter time to CL repair in patients with CL only (P = 0.002) and CLP (P = 0.047). Our described pre- and postnatal CL/P pathway is a multidisciplinary model associated with high retention rates from the prenatal period through complete surgical repair.

    Abstract Objective: This study assesses the association between risk of secondary surgery for oronasal fistula following primary cleft palate repair and 2 hospital characteristics-cost-to-charge ratio (RCC) and case volume of cleft palate repair.
    Design: Retrospective cohort study.
    Setting: This study utilized the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database, which consists of clinical and resource-utilization data from >49 hospitals in the United States.
    Patients and participants: Patients undergoing primary cleft palate repair from 2004 to 2009 were abstracted from the PHIS database and followed up for oronasal fistula repair between 2004 and 2015.
    Main outcome measure(s): The primary outcome measure was whether patients underwent oronasal fistula repair after primary cleft palate repair.
    Results: Among 5745 patients from 45 institutions whom met inclusion criteria, 166 (3%) underwent oronasal fistula repair within 6 to 11 years of primary cleft palate repair. Primary palatoplasty at high-RCC facilities was associated with a higher rate of subsequent oronasal fistula repair (odds ratio [OR] = 1.84 [1.32-2.56], adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.81 [1.28-2.59];
    Conclusions: Subsequent need for oronasal fistula repair, while independent of hospital case volume for cleft palate repair, increased with increasing hospital RCC. Our study also corroborates complete cleft palate and cleft lip as risk factors for oronasal fistula.

    Abstract Abstract: Fronto-orbital advancement (FOA) of the anterior skull and orbital bandeau is standard of care for craniosynostosis with anterior morphology. Fronto-orbital retrusion, temporal hollowing, and bony contour irregularities are commonly seen in long-term follow-up. In this study, we report several technical adaptations of a new FOA technique described in Fearon et al that help facilitate adaptation of the single-segment neo-bandeau FOA technique in preparation of use in younger patients, and perform a craniometric analysis of the technique. Five consecutive patients who underwent the single-segment neo-bandeau FOA in 2020 with available pre- and post-operative three-dimensional head computed tomography scans were studied. Using Materialise Mimics (Materialise, Ghent, Belgium), cranial length, cranial height, cranial widths, and intracranial volume were measured. Two (40%) patients were male and all were non-Hispanic White with a median age at surgery of 18.6 months (interquartile range 10.4-45.7). Three patients (60%) had bicoronal or other multi-suture craniosynostosis, and 1 each had metopic and sagittal craniosynostosis. Intraoperatively measured intracranial pressure decreased from 17.8 mmHg (R 13.0-20.0) before craniectomy to 4.8 mmHg (R 2.0-11.0; P = 0.038) after craniectomy. Anterior cranial width increased postoperatively (mean 92.6 mm; R 74.9-111.5 versus 117.6 mm; R 109.8-135.2, P = 0.005). Intracranial volume increased from preoperative (mean 1211 cm3; R 782-1949 cm3) to postoperative (1387 cm3; R 1022-2108 cm3; P = 0.009). The authors find in this small sample that a single-segment neo-bandeau FOA demonstrates volumetric expansion similar to conventional FOA techniques and is feasible in infants under 1 year of age.

    Abstract Background: This study investigates the associations between local anesthesia practice and perioperative complication, length of stay, and hospital cost for palatoplasty in the United States.
    Methods: Patients undergoing cleft palate repair between 2004 and 2015 were abstracted from the Pediatric Health Information System database. Perioperative complication, length of stay, and hospital cost were compared by local anesthesia status. Multiple logistic regressions controlled for patient demographics, comorbidities, and hospital characteristics.
    Results: Of 17,888 patients from 49 institutions who met selection criteria, 8631 (48 percent), 4447 (25 percent), and 2149 (12 percent) received epinephrine-containing lidocaine, epinephrine-containing bupivacaine, and bupivacaine or ropivacaine alone, respectively. The use of epinephrine-containing bupivacaine or bupivacaine or ropivacaine alone was associated with decreased perioperative complication [adjusted OR, 0.75 (95 percent CI, 0.61 to 0.91) and 0.63 (95 percent CI, 0.47 to 0.83); p = 0.004 and p = 0.001, respectively]. Only bupivacaine- or ropivacaine-alone recipients experienced a significantly reduced risk of prolonged length of stay on adjusted analysis [adjusted OR, 0.71 (95 percent CI, 0.55 to 0.90); p = 0.005]. Risk of increased cost was reduced in users of any local anesthetic (p < 0.001 for all).
    Conclusions: Epinephrine-containing bupivacaine or bupivacaine or ropivacaine alone was associated with reduced perioperative complication following palatoplasty, while only the latter predicted a decreased postoperative length of stay. Uses of epinephrine-containing lidocaine, epinephrine-containing bupivacaine, and bupivacaine or ropivacaine alone were all associated with decreased hospital costs. Future prospective studies are warranted to further delineate the role of local anesthesia in palatal surgery.
