Japanese term

中顔面延長術

Japanese to English Medical Medical (general)
What is the best term for this? My understanding is although the character 骨 is missing, this is referring to an allongement of bone by borrowing from other bone, so I am going with either a midface osteogenesis or midface osteotomy. Is there any better term, is it something else entirely?

Thanks.

midface lengthening

Personally, I'd stick with "midface lengthening" unless it becomes obvious that a kanji was omitted.

「中顔面延長器」ってのを使ってやるそうですから骨の移植は不要かな?

「骨移植」を伴わない場合は"midface distraction osteogenesis"の方がよろしいかも。
