Custom patient-specific hardware was then fabricated to enable sequential mandibular advancement and gradual maxillary distraction. The mandibular lengthening procedures were found to be highly accurate, with only minor deviations from the planned results. In terms of maxillary distraction, the patient-specific antral distractors demonstrated favorable outcomes, with two noteworthy exceptions.

A systematic review was performed following the PRISMA guidelines with the primary goal of quantifying the functional outcomes and overall survival of patients undergoing TGL. The initial search resulted in 748 studies; seven of these met the inclusion criteria. Five studies evaluated functional speech postoperatively, and 12.1% (8/66) of patients in these studies achieved a form of functional speech. Most studies did not refer to the use of specific postoperative voice rehabilitation. Regarding swallowing function, 53.3% (32/60) of patients in five studies regained their ability to swallow.
