Complications In Orthognathic Surgery
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Orthognathic surgery is a commonly performed oral and maxillofacial surgical procedure. The present study was conducted to assess prevalence of complications in patients treated with orthognathic surgery.
Material and methods: A retrospective study was designed to assess complications in patients treated with orthognathic surgery. Patients were included of both gender and who were between 18 and 40 years of age, subjected to a conventional orthosurgical treatment with the orthodontic sequence and preoperative dental preparation, orthognathic surgery under general anesthesia, and orthodontic completion. The postoperative variables were noted. The analysis were made with descriptive statistics using the SPSS 23 (IBM, New York, USA) software considering statistical significance when P < 0.05.
Results: In the present study 200 patients were included in the study. In general terms, 20% (40 subjects) had some type of complications. 10 subjects (25%) presented relapse, 5 patients (12.5%) presented postoperative infection, postoperative sinusitis respectively. 35% subjects had neurosensory deficits. 5% subjects had gingival tissue problem, 10% had wound/ suture problem.
Conclusion: In the present study concluded that in maximum patients neurosensory deficits occur followed by relapse.
