Functional outcomes of mandibular distraction for the relief of severe airway obstruction and feeding difficulties in neonates with Pierre Robin sequence

The purpose of this study was to review the application of mandibulardistraction to relieve severe airway obstruction or feeding problems ofneonates. Thirteen neonates with Pierre Robin sequence who underwentbilateral mandibular distraction between 2010 and 2013 for relief of theirsevere airway obstruction or feeding problems were retrospectively reviewed.The mean preoperative and postoperative airway diameters were 3.89±1.64and 9.03±1.98 mm. respectively and significant difference was observed withdistraction (p
