contents Postoperative Upper Airway Volume Measurements Among Children With Craniofacial Abnormalities Tom Ben‐Dov Lydia Pan Alex J. Gordon Zahrah Taufique Firas Kassem Scott Rickert Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery AbstractObjectiveTo measure postoperative airway volumes among patients with craniofacial abnormalities and compare them to normative values.Study DesignRetrospective, comparative study.SettingAcademic Medical Center.MethodsRetrospective analysis of imaging of children with craniofacial abnormalities treated at NYU Langone Health from January 2013 to February 2021. Upper airway volumes postcraniofacial surgery were measured using 3D processing software (Dolphin 3D, version 11.95). These values were compared with published normative values.ResultsTwenty‐one subjects were identified and compared to normative values. The postoperative oropharyngeal volumes were on average 43.7% smaller than the normative values (P < .001), and the total upper airway volumes were 31.6% smaller (P = .003). No significant differences were observed in the nasopharyngeal or hypopharyngeal volumes of the study cohort compared to the normative data. Among children ages 12 to 17 years (n = 13), the mean oropharyngeal volumes were 47.6% smaller than normal (P < .001), and the mean total upper airway volumes were 34.6% smaller than normal (P < .001). Among children ages 7 to 11 years (n = 8), the mean oropharyngeal volumes were 35.1% smaller than normal (P = .049), but no difference in mean total upper airway volume was observed.ConclusionIn children with craniofacial anomalies, postoperative airway volumes remain lower than normative values. However, even a slight increase in airway volume can yield a substantial increase in flow rate. 3D airway evaluations are a valuable tool for surgical planning and analysis and can help with optimizing airway dynamics. 10.1002/ohn.773 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
