Some of the current opinions in facial plastic surgery are influenced by innovations from evidence-based medicine. New biomedical technologies or expert surgical opinion often influence the ebbs and flow of surgical approaches and techniques. The phenomenon of reinvigorated support for using older methods over failed novel techniques is not uncommon and is reminiscent of T.S. Eliot’s famous lines:

Surgical education and adult learning have been disruptively innovated in the last few decades. It is easy to blame the Millennial generation (born 1981–1994) and now, Generation Z (born 1995–2010), or the technology they grew up with for the societywide decrease in attention span. It may be that all generations can benefit from this new focus on the learner. The purpose of this commentary is to examine recent educational transformations and to apply these concepts of adult learning to medical students, residents, trainees, and practicing surgeons.

The purpose of this review will be to outline the literature and provide opinion on the current practice related to controversy in the management of midface and panfacial fractures. Three areas of concentration will be the use of intraoperative imaging, indications for antibiotic prophylaxis, and novel maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) materials. There has been increased exploration of intraoperative imaging; however, developing indications for use is limited by currently available cost-effectiveness and outcome data. Guidance for antibiotic usage is also limited, particularly by inadequate high-level evidence. Alternatives to the traditional interdental wiring for MMF are being investigated as a potentially faster and safer method. Current data and future explorations are discussed in this review.
