Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare postoperative outcomes and costs between inpatient and outpatient ABG in the United States. DESIGN Retrospective cohort. SETTING Multi-institutional/national. PATIENTS AND PARTICIPANTS Patients who underwent ABG (n = 6649) were identified in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric database from 2012-2021. Inpatient and outpatient cohorts were matched using coarsened exact matching. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURE(S) Thirty-day readmission, reoperation, and complications. A modified Markov model was developed to estimate the cost difference between cohorts. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. RESULTS After matching, 3718 patients were included, of which 1859 patients were in each hospital-setting cohort. The inpatient cohort had significantly higher rates of reoperations (0.6% vs. 0.2%; p = 0.032) and surgical site infections (0.8% vs. 0.2%; p = 0.018). The total cost of outpatient ABG was estimated to be $10,824 vs. $20,955 for inpatient ABG, resulting in $10,131 cost savings per patient. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis revealed that all 10,000 simulations resulted in consistent cost savings for the outpatient cohort that ranged from $8000 to $24,000. CONCLUSIONS Outpatient ABG has become increasingly more popular over the past ten years, with a majority of cases being performed in the ambulatory setting. If deemed safe for the individual patient, outpatient ABG may confer a lower risk of nosocomial complications and offer significant cost savings to the healthcare economy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alveolar bone grafting is an important component of cleft lip and palate treatment, with iliac crest as the most common donor site. Although studies have attempted to quantify alveolar bone graft resorption, few have directly compared the outcomes of graft techniques. This study compared the long-term success rates of corticocancellous block to trephine cancellous-only alveolar bone grafting from the iliac crest. METHODS A retrospective review of all cleft lip and palate patients undergoing alveolar bone grafting over 14 years was performed. Power analysis was performed to determine sample size. Data including patient demographics, surgical technique, need for repeat grafting, complications, length of hospitalization, and follow-up were collected. Statistical analyses of outcomes were performed based on initial graft technique. RESULTS A total of 106 initial operations met criteria, with 73 using trephine technique, 30 utilizing corticocancellous block, and 3 undergoing open cancellous harvest. The overall regraft rate was 40% with an average follow-up of 43.5 months. Patients with corticocancellous block grafting had significantly lower rates of repeat grafting compared to trephine technique (16.7% vs. 47.9%, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in complications rates or length of admission between treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS The use of corticocancellous block alveolar bone grafting demonstrated significantly higher success rates when compared to cancellous-only trephine techniques with no difference in complication rates. Although this must be weighed against the minor disadvantages of open iliac harvest, surgeons should consider incorporating en bloc corticocancellous bone to optimize outcomes in alveolar bone grafting.

Abstract
SUMMARY Secondary alveolar bone grafting is one of the key surgical procedures performed to restore dental arch continuity and facilitate tooth eruption in patients with cleft lip and palate. Harvest of cancellous bone graft from the iliac crest has become the gold standard; however. there is no consensus regarding the ideal technique. An optimal bone harvest technique must be aimed at producing minimal donor-site morbidity and patient discomfort. The success of the bone grafting procedure depends largely on the surgical technique. To restore cleft alveolar defects, one must be able to conceptualize the different underlying aspects of the problem to perform an effective surgical repair. It is important for surgeons-in-service to adopt newer techniques that significantly enhance the overall outcome. This article describes two techniques of iliac bone harvest and the principles involved in execution of the alveolar bone grafting procedure. The accompanying four-part video series depicts the bone harvest, flap design, dissection of the recipient cleft alveolus, and bone grafting in a step-by-step manner.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to answer the question: which analgesic protocol is most efficient and most effective in overcoming pain and promoting functional recovery after iliac bone grafting in cleft alveolus patients? A systematic review of the literature was performed. The population consisted of cleft lip and alveolus patients with or without cleft palate undergoing iliac crest bone grafting; the outcomes analysed were represented by the duration of hospital stay, subjective pain rating, and degree of impaired mobility. A total of 15 articles were selected for review. The following protocols were subject to comparison in this review: simple classic intravenous/per-oral analgesia, local anaesthetic infiltration in the donor site, anaesthetic-soaked sponge, neural blocks and continuous infusion at the donor site. The results of the included studies were individually reported identifying trends in the efficiency of the different pain-management techniques. Although hospital stay varied from same-day discharge to almost a week, other factors besides pain influenced this outcome. School was resumed after an average of 12.6 days and sport activities after maximum one month regardless of the used protocol. Even though the age of patients had a statistically significant influence on hospital stay durations, it did not determine the latter. The pain management protocols after iliac bone grafting of alveolar clefts selected for analysis have their advantages and drawbacks. All protocols seem effective meaning they reach adequacy in managing pain at the donor site. The efficiency of the protocols could not be assessed due to the lack of data and inconsistency in pain assessment scales. Further investigation through randomized controlled studies is required.

Comparison of minimally invasive versus conventional open harvesting technique for iliac bone graft in secondary alveolar bone grafting in cleft palate patients: a systematic review. J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2019; 45:241-253. [PMID: 31728331 PMCID: PMC6838348 DOI: 10.5125/jkaoms.2019.45.5.241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2018] [Revised: 01/05/2019] [Accepted: 01/09/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
This study evaluated and compared the donor site morbidity following minimally invasive and conventional open harvesting of iliac bone for secondary alveolar bone grafting in cleft palate patients. A thorough electronic search of PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and an institutional library and manual search of various journals was done; Inclusion criteria: 1) full-text articles using a minimally invasive or conventional open harvesting technique for iliac bone for secondary alveolar grafting in cleft palate patients and 2) articles published between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2017 and Exclusion criteria: 1) articles published in languages other than English, 2) case reports, case series, animal studies, in vitro studies, and letters to the editor, and 3) full-text article unavailable even after writing to the authors. Preliminary screening of 274 studies excluded 223 studies for not meeting the eligibility criteria. Of the remaining 51 studies, 19 were removed for being duplicates. Of the remaining 32 studies, 15 were excluded after reading the abstract. Of the 17 studies that were left, 2 were excluded because they were in a language other than English, and 2 were excluded because the study group did not mention cleft palate patients. Thus, 13 studies providing results for a total of 654 patients were included in this qualitative synthesis. Minimally invasive bone graft harvest techniques are better than the conventional open iliac bone harvest method because they offer shorter operative time, decreased requirement for pain medications, less pain on discharge, and a shorter hospital stay.

Abstract
The authors aimed to accurately assess the donor site morbidity from iliac crest bone grafts for secondary bone grafting in patients with cleft lip and palate alveolar defects. Fifty patients between 3 months and 10 years following alveolar bone grafting for cleft lip and palate were entered into the study. Two-thirds of patients had no significant concerns about the donor site. The remaining third had some concerns about the appearance of their hips and less than 10% of patients expressing strong agreement with statements about concerns with shape, appearance, and self-consciousness about the iliac crest donor site. Examination findings showed the average length of scar being 5.4 cm and a third of patients having some minor palpable boney irregularities of the iliac crest. The authors found that the alveolar crest donor site is well tolerated by patients long term but has a measurable morbidity long term.
