PY - 2020 T2 - Trauma, 9e AB - KEY POINTSA thorough understanding of head and neck anatomy is critical in identifying the true extent of injuries to soft tissue and underlying viscera.Early documentation of facial nerve function is critical in guiding management of facial nerve injuries, particularly in critically ill patients in whom sedation may confound later examination.The goal of bony reconstruction in maxillofacial trauma is to restore function, structure, and symmetry.Long-term follow-up and postoperative imaging are often required to confirm correct skeletal repair and to watch for skeletal or soft tissue complications that would benefit from revision surgery.
