TL;DR: The difference in the right and left tracheobronchial angulations is less than 7° in the age group upto four years and this changes as a function of age and that the main respiratory conduits follow a particular pattern of displacement and repositioning in the growing child all they attain their final positions at adulthood.
Abstract: Earlier studies with regard to tracheobronchial angulations have put forward contradictory views. It has been established that on an average the right tracheobronchial angle is 30° while the left one is 47° with a difference of 17° between the two in all age groups (Brown & Fisk, 1980). There is another view that in children, below the age of 3 years, both tte bronchi come off the trachea at an equal angle unlike the arrangements in the adults (Adriani and Griggs, 1977). Ghosh (1987) found that on an average there is a difference of 6° between the right and left tracheobronchial angles in children and Hassan et al (1991) found this to be between 2° and 6.3°.

TL;DR: A new surgical technique has been developed in which a lateral segmental maxillo-zygometicotomy is performed to expose the retromaxillary, peritubal and nasopharyngeat regions in whichA segment of bone is removed, replaced in its place and wired which maintains the contour of the face.
Abstract: For aproaching the anterior skull base, Fisch technique (type-C) is well established (Fisch, 1984), The pterygopalatine fossa, pterygo-maxillary fissure and the nasopharynx can be approached through total and medial maxillecromies. All these especially Fisch approach, require external skin incisions and very extensive anatomical dissections. A new surgical technique has been developed in which a lateral segmental maxillo-zygometicotomy is performed to expose the retromaxillary, peritubal and nasopharyngeat regions in which a segment of bone, consisting of maxilla and zygoma, is removed and the lesion is dealt with in the above area. Finally the segment of bone is replaced in its place and wired which maintains the contour of the face. No external skin incision is necessary. The whole procedure is performed through a modified sublabial incision (Ghosh. 1985). The anatomical dissection is much less extensive than the classical approaches. It offers a direct and excellent view to the above areas.
