Clinical experiences with patients with facial bone deformities associated with hemifacial microsomia.

Eighteen adult patients with hemifacial microsomia were treated with a combination of skeletal and augmentation surgery. Three typical cases are presented. In principle, skeletal and augmentation surgery have recently been performed in combination in a single stage. Groin flaps and scapular or scapular ostocutaneous flaps have mainly been employed for augmentation surgery.
