A modified tongue-lip adhesion for Pierre Robin anomalad.
A modified tongue-lip adhesion for Pierre Robin anomalad, based on the work of Douglas (1946), Routledge (1960) and Randall (1977) is described. Modifications include placement of the incision and stripping of the geniglossus muscles from the mandible. Conservative non-operative management is successful for most patients, but an adequate surgical adhesion avoids tracheostomy when more active treatment is needed.
