Abstract
Patients with Pierre Robin sequence may have severe retro/micrognathia causing them symptoms including from difficulty in air entry to obstructive apnoea, in which case mandibular distraction is the treatment of choice. After this intervention the postoperative period should be in ICU for airway management and other care. According to the data presented, we conclude that the postoperative period is short and with a low rate of complications.
