Reviewer 2 Report
In this technical description, the authors present a way to stabilize nasotracheal intubation of a patient that facilitates surgical maneuvers.
Much of the introduction can be carried over to the discussion.
The presentation of the case begins on page 5 line 163. Page 3 lines 92-162 do not correspond to a description of the case or the technique and are superfluous.
page 5 line 169: Missing initial parenthesis in Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy)
page 5 line 169: It is preferable to initially describe an acronym and then put the acronym in parentheses. In this case the usual is "Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO).
Page 8 figure 6: is unnecessary and adds nothing to the description of the technique.
Pages 9 and 10, lines 289-300 (Conclusion): these are not conclusions drawn from the case.
