Abstract
BACKGROUND Facial palsy after orthognathic surgery is an uncommon but serious complication causing dissatisfaction and affecting quality of life. The occurrence could be underreported. Surgeons need to recognize this issue regarding the incidence, causative mechanism, managements, and outcome. METHODS A retrospective review of orthognathic surgery records between January of 1981 and May of 2022 was conducted in the authors' craniofacial center. Patients who developed facial palsy after the surgery were identified, and demographics, surgical methods, radiologic images, and photographs were collected. RESULTS A total of 20,953 sagittal split ramus osteotomies (SSROs) were performed in 10,478 patients. Twenty-seven patients developed facial palsy, resulting in an incidence of 0.13% per SSRO. In a comparison of SSRO technique, the Obwegeser-Dal Pont technique using osteotome for splitting had higher risk of facial palsy than the Hunsuck technique using the manual twist splitting ( P < 0.05). The severity of facial palsy was complete in 55.6% of patients and incomplete in 44.4%. All patients were treated conservatively, and 88.9% attained full recovery in a median duration of 3 months [interquartile range (IQR), 2.75 to 6 months] after surgery, whereas 11.1% attained partial recovery. Initial severity of facial palsy predicted the timing of recovery, with incomplete palsy patients having faster median recovery (3 months; IQR, 2 to 3 months) than the complete palsy patients (6 months; IQR, 4 to 6.25 months) ( P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of facial palsy after orthognathic surgery was 0.13%. Intraoperative nerve compression was the most likely causative mechanism. Conservative treatment is the mainstay of therapeutic strategy, and full functional recovery was anticipated. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Risk, IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Virtual planning has revolutionized orthognathic surgery. This study presents a computer-assisted method for constructing average three-dimensional skeletofacial models that can be applied as templates for surgical planning for maxillomandibular repositioning. METHODS The authors used the images of 60 individuals (30 women and 30 men) who had never undergone orthognathic surgery to construct an average three-dimensional skeletofacial model for male participants and one for female participants. The authors validated the accuracy of the newly developed skeletofacial models by comparing their images with 30 surgical simulation images (ie, skulls) that had been created using three-dimensional cephalometric normative data. The comparison was conducted by superimposing surgical simulation images created using the authors' models with the previously created images to analyze their differences, particularly differences in the jawbone position. RESULTS For all participants, the authors compared the jaw position in the surgical simulation images created using the authors' average three-dimensional skeletofacial models with that in the images created using three-dimensional cephalometric normative data. The results revealed that the planned maxillary and mandibular positions were similar in both images and that the differences between all facial landmarks were less than 1 mm, except for one dental position. Most studies have reported less than 2 mm to be the success criterion for the distance difference between planned and outcome images; thus, the authors' data indicate high consistency between the images in terms of jawbone position. CONCLUSION The authors' average three-dimensional skeletofacial models provide an innovative template-assisted orthognathic surgery planning modality that can enhance the fully digital workflow for virtual orthognathic surgical planning.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) planning of orthognathic surgery (OGS) improves the treatment of facial asymmetry and malocclusion, but no consensus exists among clinicians regarding technical details. This study verified the consistency of authors' workflow and strategies between 3D planning and surgical execution for facial asymmetry. This retrospective study recruited consecutive patients (n=54) with nonsyndromic facial asymmetry associated with malocclusion. The stepwise workflow included orthodontic treatment, 3D imaging-based evaluation, planning, and transferring the virtual of single-splint 2-jaw OGS to actual surgery in all patients. Seven landmark-based measurements were selected for postoperative assessment of facial symmetry. Fifty patients had no anesthetic/surgical-related episode and procedure-related complications. Others experienced wound infection (n=1), transient TMJ discomfort (n=1), and facial numbness (n=3). Two cases had minor residual asymmetry (cheek and chin, respectively), but did not request revisionary bone or soft tissue surgery. Comparisons between the planned and postoperative 3D images with quantitative measurement revealed acceptable outcome data. The results showed a significant increase in facial symmetry at 7 landmark-based postoperative measurements for both male and female. This 3D-assisted pathway of OGS permitted achievement of consistent satisfactory results in managing facial asymmetry, with low rate of complications and secondary management.

Abstract
SUMMARY Patients with maxillomandibular disharmony may present with a flat to concave midface. The effects of orthognathic surgery concomitant with midface fat grafting on facial appearance and midface volumetric and positional change have not formally been assessed to date. The authors' approach for synchronous orthognathic surgery and fat grafting is described and evaluated. Adult female patients (n = 20) who underwent synchronous two-jaw orthognathic surgery and cheek-specific fat grafting (1.9 ± 0.6 cm3 per side) for correction of skeletal class III deformity and anteromedial cheek deficiency were prospectively included. Preoperative and postoperative photographs were appraised by 42 blinded raters using facial appearance scales for beauty, attractiveness, and pleasantness parameters. The three-dimensional midface soft-tissue volume change and postoperative cheek mass position were computed. Facial imaging data from gender-, ethnic-, and facial pattern-matched adult patients (n = 20) who underwent isolated two-jaw orthognathic surgery (n = 20) were included for comparison. The three-dimensional facial norms database-derived cheek mass position information (2.19 ± 1.31mm) was also adopted for analysis. Patients treated with the synchronous procedure had significantly (p < 0.001) increased facial appearance-related perception change for beauty (2.9 ± 1.6), attractiveness (2.8 ± 1.8), and pleasantness (3.0 ± 1.5) parameters, three-dimensional midface volume change (1.8 ± 0.5 cm3), and postoperative cheek mass position (2.16 ± 0.47 mm) in comparison with those treated with the isolated procedure (2.0 ± 1.5, 1.9 ± 1.6, 2.3 ± 1.6, 0.6 ± 0.2 cm3, and 1.84 ± 0.43 mm, respectively). Healthy female individuals had similar and larger cheek mass position than patients treated with synchronous (p > 0.05) and isolated (p < 0.001) procedures, respectively. Synchronous orthognathic surgery and check-specific fat grafting resulted in superior enhancement of facial appearance and midface volume and position compared with isolated orthognathic surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Studies have reported the advantages of digital imaging-assisted orthognathic surgery planning, but there is scarce information about a full digital planning modality. This study evaluated the 3D cephalometric-based and patient-reported outcomes of a full digital workflow for orthognathic surgery planning in the treatment of asymmetric maxillomandibular disharmony. METHODS A postoperative 3D image dataset of 30 Taiwanese Chinese patients with asymmetric skeletal Class III deformities who underwent full digital planning for two-jaw surgery were retrieved from the authors' database. The 3D cephalometric data (dental, skeletal, and soft tissue evaluations) were compared to the ethnicity-matched 3D cephalometric normative values. Patient-reported outcome measure tools regarding postoperative overall appearance and satisfaction with facial areas (ranging from 0 to 100 and 0 to 10, respectively) were administered. The number of needed or requested revisionary surgery was collected. RESULTS No difference (all p > 0.05) was observed between the orthognathic-surgery-treated patients and the normative value for most of the tested 3D cephalometric parameters, with the exception (p < 0.05) of three mandible and occlusal-plane-related parameters. Both patient-reported outcome measure tools showed that patients' satisfaction with their postoperative appearance was high for overall face (89.7 ± 4.5) and specific facial regions (nose, 7.1 ± 1.3; lip, 8.3 ± 1.6; upper gum, 8.5 ± 1.2; cheek, 8.8 ± 1.1; chin, 9.2 ± 1.2; and teeth, 9.3 ± 0.8), with no need for revisionary surgery. CONCLUSION The patients treated with a full 3D digital planning-assisted two-jaw surgery had a similar 3D dental relation, facial convexity, and symmetry compared to healthy ethnicity-matched individuals, and they reported higher satisfaction levels with their postoperative facial appearance results.

Maintaining the space between the mandibular ramus segments during bilateral sagittal split osteotomy does not influence the stability. J Formos Med Assoc 2021; 120:1768-1776.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Three-dimensional computer-assisted orthognathic surgery allows to simulate the space between the mandibular ramus segments, i.e. intersegmental gap, for the correction of facial asymmetry. The purposes of the study were to estimate the screws- and mandible bone-related changes from the early postoperative period to the period after the debonding and to measure the association between the intersegmental gap volume and the screws- and mandible bone-related changes. METHODS This cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-assisted retrospective study assessed the stability of the bicortical positional screw fixations in maintaining the space between the mandibular ramus segments after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy in correction of 31 patients with malocclusion and facial asymmetry. The primary predictor variable was the CBCT-based intersegmental gap volume at early postoperative period (T1). The primary outcome variables were CBCT-based screws- and bone-related measurement changes between the T1 and T2 (at debonding) periods. RESULTS No significant differences were observed in screws-related linear and angular measurements between T1 and T2 virtual models. Some of mandible bone-related linear and angular measurements had significant differences (P < 0.05) between the T1 and T2 images, but with no clinical repercussion such as need of revisionary surgery. The gap volume and the screws- and bone-related changes had no significant correlations. CONCLUSION This study contributes to the multidisciplinary-related literature by demonstrating that the bicortical positional screws-based fixation technique in maintaining the three-dimensional-simulated space between the mandibular ramus segments is a stable and clinically acceptable option for correction of facial asymmetry associated with malocclusion, regardless of intersegmental gap size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Le Fort I maxillary repositioning influences nasal morphology. In Asian cultures, upward nasal tip rotation with increased nostril exposure is considered aesthetically unpleasant and can have psychosocial consequences. This three-dimensional imaging-based study evaluated the effect of different Le Fort I maxillary movements on nasal tip rotation. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent two-jaw orthognathic surgery (n = 107) were enrolled. To achieve a standard head orientation, preoperative and 1-week and 12-month postoperative cone-beam computed tomography-derived three-dimensional craniofacial models were superimposed. Tip rotation angle was calculated according to the Frankfort horizontal plane for all three-dimensional digital models. The final tip rotation angle change was defined as 12-month postoperative value minus preoperative value. Translational maxillary movement types (advancement versus setback and intrusion versus extrusion), postoperative maxillary segment locations (anterosuperior, anteroinferior, posterosuperior, or posteroinferior), and actual linear maxillary changes were noted. RESULTS Advancement (1.79 ± 5.20 degrees) and intrusion (2.23 ± 4.96 degrees) movements demonstrated significantly larger final tip rotation angle changes than setback (-0.88 ± 5.15 degrees) and extrusion (0.09 ± 5.44 degrees) movements (all p < 0.05). Postoperative anterosuperior location (2.95 ± 4.52 degrees) of the maxillary segment demonstrated a significantly larger final tip rotation angle change than anteroinferior (0.48 ± 5.65 degrees), posterosuperior (-1.08 ± 4.77 degrees), and posteroinferior (-0.64 ± 5.80 degrees) locations (all p < 0.05). Translational maxillary movement and actual linear maxillary change were not correlated with final tip rotation angle change. CONCLUSION Effects of Le Fort I maxillary repositioning on nasal tip rotation depend on movement types and maxillary segment location. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, III.

Abstract
PURPOSE Three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided planning has truly revolutionized orthognathic surgery (OGS) treatment, but no study has compared the traditional hybrid and full 3D digital planning models. This study compared these virtual planning models in the treatment of asymmetric maxillomandibular disharmony. METHODS Young adult patients with an asymmetric skeletal class III deformity who underwent 3D computer-aided 2-jaw OGS using hybrid (alginate dental impression, 2D cephalometric tracings, manual-guided stone model surgery, occlusion setup, and splint fabrication; n = 30) or full digital (laser-scanned dentition, 3D cephalometric tracings, virtual-based occlusion setup and surgery, and computer-generated surgical splint; n = 30) planning models were consecutively recruited. Preoperative and postoperative 3D cephalometric analyses (dental relation, skeletal assessments based on sagittal and frontal views, and soft tissue evaluations) were adopted for intragroup and intergroup comparisons. Postoperative patient-perceived satisfaction with facial appearance was also recorded. RESULTS Both hybrid and full digital planning groups had significant (all P < 0.05) improvements after surgery with respect to facial convexity, incisor overjet, and frontal symmetry parameters. The full 3D digital planning-based OGS treatment had similar (all P > 0.05) 3D cephalometric-derived outcomes (preoperative, postoperative, and treatment-induced change data) and patient-perceived outcomes compared with the traditional hybrid 3D planning method. CONCLUSIONS For the decision-making process in selecting the planning model, multidisciplinary teams could consider additional parameters such as patient comfort, storage needs, convenience for data reuse, overall planning time, availability, and costs.

Abstract
This study sought to test the feasibility of a newly developed plane called computed modified absolute mandibular midsagittal plane (cmAMP) based on the similarity index (SI) for evaluating the stereoscopical symmetry of the mandible by comparison with other proposed midsagittal planes. This study involved 29 adult patients (15 men, 14 women; average age, 23.1 ± 6.9 years) with skeletal Class III facial asymmetry who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. Using cone-beam computed tomography images taken before and 1 year after surgery, cmAMP with the highest SI value between the two anterior segments of the hemi-mandible was set by a computer algorithm. Results show that the SI using cmAMP had the highest value (0.83 ± 0.04) before surgery compared to the other midsagittal planes, and was not significantly different from the SI (0.80 ± 0.05) using a facial midsagittal plane (MSP) after surgery. The distance (1.15 ± 0.74 mm) and angle (2.02 ± 0.82°) between MSP and cmAMP after surgery were significantly smaller than those between MSP and other midsagittal planes. In conclusion, the cmAMP plane best matches the two anterior segments of hemi-mandible symmetrically and is the closest to MSP after orthognathic surgery in skeletal Class III patients with facial asymmetry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical mobilization of the maxillary segment affects nasal morphology. This study assessed the impact of the type of maxillary mobilization on the three-dimensional (3D) nasal morphometry. METHODS Pre- and postsurgery cone beam computed tomography-derived facial image datasets of consecutive patients who underwent two-jaw orthognathic surgery were reviewed. Using preoperative 3D facial models as the positional reference of the skeletal framework, 12-month postoperative 3D facial models were classified into four types of maxillary mobilizations (advancement [n = 83], setback [n = 24], intrusion [n = 55], and extrusion [n = 52]) and four types of final maxillary positions (anterosuperior [n = 44], anteroinferior [n = 39], posterosuperior [n = 11], and posteroinferior [n = 13]). Six 3D soft tissue nasal morphometric parameters were measured, with excellent intra- and interexaminer reliability scores (ICC>0.897) for all the measurements. The 3D nasal change for each nasal parameter was computed as the difference between postoperative and preoperative measurement values. RESULTS The intrusion maxillary mobilization resulted in a significantly (all p<0.05) larger 3D nasal change in terms of alar width, alar base width, and nostril angle parameters, and a smaller change in terms of the nasal tip height parameter than the extrusion maxillary mobilization; however, no significant (all p>0.05) difference was observed between advancement and setback maxillary mobilizations. The anterosuperior and posterosuperior maxillary positions had a significantly (all p<0.05) larger 3D nasal change in terms of the alar base width and nostril angle than the anteroinferior and posteroinferior maxillary positions. CONCLUSION The type of maxillary mobilization affects the 3D nasal morphometry.

Abstract
Skeletally mature patients with cleft lip and palate commonly present with skeletofacial deformities characterized by varying degrees of intrinsic and acquired dentoskeletal and soft tissue abnormalities. These abnormalities are associated with scarring from previous surgeries and the asymmetric midline and facial contour that impose challenges for adequate reconstruction. These patients frequently require 2-jaw orthognathic surgery to improve occlusal function and for correction of facial deformities. In this article, we have detailed a 3-dimensional computer-assisted single-splint 2-jaw orthognathic surgery technique as a surgical approach for cleft skeletofacial reconstruction, allowing for the surgery to be tailored according to the specific needs and requests of the patients. Further, we have addressed the multidimensionality and specificities of cleft treatment, the wide versatility, adaptability, and applicability of this technique, and the patient-centered rationale for the adoption of this method.

Abstract
Patients with cleft lip and palate could develop dentofacial deformity characterized by malocclusion, midface retrusion, midline discrepancy and asymmetry. Cleft orthognathic surgery has evolved from the simple maxillary LeFort I advancement with correction of dental malocclusion to the current model of patient-centered approach focusing on skeletofacial reconstruction using computer-assisted diagnosis and planning. Three-dimensional imaging and surgical simulation have provided valuable information for facial aesthetics and surgical feasibility. Surgery-first approach and two-jaw orthognathic surgery have gradually become prevalent replacing the conventional method. A better dentofacial outcome is achieved with reduction of the burden of care.

Abstract
Computer-assisted 3D planning has overcome the limitations of conventional 2D planning-guided orthognathic surgery (OGS), but difference for facial contour asymmetry outcome has not been verified to date. This comparative study assessed the facial contour asymmetry outcome of consecutive patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate who underwent 2D planning (n = 37)- or 3D simulation (n = 38)-guided OGS treatment for correction of maxillary hypoplasia and skeletal Class III malocclusion between 2010 and 2018. Normal age-, gender-, and ethnicity-matched individuals (n = 60) were enrolled for comparative analyses. 2D (n = 60, with 30 images for each group) and 3D (n = 43, with 18 and 25 images for 2D planning and 3D simulation groups, respectively) photogrammetric-based facial contour asymmetry-related measurements were collected from patients and normal individuals. The facial asymmetry was further verified by using subjective perception of a panel composed of 6 blinded raters. On average, the facial contour asymmetry was significantly (all p < 0.05) reduced after 3D virtual surgery planning for all tested parameters, with no significant differences between post-OGS 3D simulation-related values and normal individuals. No significant differences were observed for pre- and post-OGS values in conventional 2D planning-based treatment, with significant (all p < 0.05) differences for all normal individuals-related comparisons. This study suggests that 3D planning presents superior facial contour asymmetry outcome than 2D planning.

Effect of Le Fort I Maxillary Advancement and Clockwise Rotation on the Anteromedial Cheek Soft Tissue Change in Patients with Skeletal Class III Pattern and Midface Deficiency: A 3D Imaging-Based Prediction Study. J Clin Med 2020; 9:E262. [PMID: 31963689 PMCID: PMC7020021 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9010262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2019] [Revised: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 01/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with a skeletal Class III deformity may present with a concave contour of the anteromedial cheek region. Le Fort I maxillary advancement and rotational movements correct the problem but information on the impact on the anteromedial cheek soft tissue change has been insufficient to date. This three-dimensional (3D) imaging-assisted study assessed the effect of surgical maxillary advancement and clockwise rotational movements on the anteromedial cheek soft tissue change. Two-week preoperative and 6-month postoperative cone-beam computed tomography scans were obtained from 48 consecutive patients who received 3D-guided two-jaw orthognathic surgery for the correction of Class III malocclusion associated with a midface deficiency and concave facial profile. Postoperative 3D facial bone and soft tissue models were superimposed on the corresponding preoperative models. The region of interest at the anteromedial cheek area was defined. The 3D cheek volumetric change (mm3; postoperative minus preoperative models) and the preoperative surface area (mm2) were computed to estimate the average sagittal movement (mm). The 3D cheek mass position from orthognathic surgery-treated patients was compared with published 3D normative data. Surgical maxillary advancement (all p < 0.001) and maxillary rotation (all p < 0.006) had a significant effect on the 3D anteromedial cheek soft tissue change. In total, 78.9%, 78.8%, and 78.8% of the variation in the cheek soft tissue sagittal movement was explained by the variation in the maxillary advancement and rotation movements for the right, left, and total cheek regions, respectively. The multiple linear regression models defined ratio values (relationship) between the 3D cheek soft tissue sagittal movement and maxillary bone advancement and rotational movements of 0.627 and 0.070, respectively. Maxillary advancements of 3-4 mm and >4 mm resulted in a 3D cheek mass position (1.91 ± 0.53 mm and 2.36 ± 0.72 mm, respectively) similar (all p > 0.05) to the 3D norm value (2.15 ± 1.2 mm). This study showed that both Le Fort I maxillary advancement and rotational movements affect the anteromedial cheek soft tissue change, with the maxillary advancement movement presenting a larger effect on the cheek soft tissue movement than the maxillary rotational movement. These findings can be applied in future multidisciplinary-based decision-making processes for planning and executing orthognathic surgery.

Abstract
Despite the evident benefits of the modern surgery-first orthognathic surgery approach (reduced treatment time, efficient tooth decompensation, and early improvement in facial esthetics), the challenge of the surgical-occlusion setup acts as a hindering factor for the widespread and global adoption of this therapeutic modality, especially for the management of cleft-skeletofacial deformity. This is the first study to assess three-dimensional (3D) quantitative data of the surgical-occlusion setup in surgery-first cleft-orthognathic surgery. This comparative retrospective study was performed on 3D image datasets from consecutive patients with skeletal Class III deformity who had a unilateral cleft lip/palate (cleft cohort, n = 44) or a noncleft dentofacial deformity (noncleft cohort, n = 22) and underwent 3D computer-assisted single-splint two-jaw surgery by a single multidisciplinary team between 2014 and 2018. They received conventional orthodontics-first or surgery-first approaches. 3D quantitative characterization (linear, angular, and positional measurements) of the final surgical-occlusion setup was performed and adopted for comparative analyses. In the cleft cohort, the occlusion setup in the surgery-first approach had a significantly (all p < 0.05) smaller number of anterior teeth contacts and larger incisor overjet compared to the conventional approach. Considering the surgery-first approach, the cleft cohort presented significantly (all p < 0.05) larger (canine lateral overjet parameter) and smaller (incisor overjet, maxillary intercanine distance, maxillary intermolar distance, ratio of intercanine distance, and ratio of intermolar distance parameters) values than the noncleft cohort. This study contributes to the literature by providing 3D quantitative data of the surgical-occlusion setup in surgery-first cleft-orthognathic surgery, and delivers information that may assist multidisciplinary teams to adopt the surgery-first concept to optimize cleft care.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided simulation has revolutionized orthognathic surgery treatment, but scarce 3D cephalometric norms have been defined to date. The purposes of this study were to (1) establish a normative database of 3D Burstone cephalometric measurements for adult male and female Chinese in Taiwan, (2) compare this 3D norm dataset with the two-dimensional (2D) Burstone norms from Caucasian and Singaporean Chinese populations, and (3) apply these 3D norms to assess the outcome of a computer-aided simulation of orthognathic surgery. Three-dimensional Burstone cephalometric analysis was performed on 3D digital craniofacial image models generated from cone-beam computed tomography datasets of 60 adult Taiwanese Chinese individuals with normal occlusion and balanced facial profile. Three-dimensional Burstone analysis was performed on 3D image datasets from patients with skeletal Class III pattern (n = 30) with prior computer-aided simulation. Three-dimensional Burstone cephalometric measurements showed that Taiwanese Chinese males had significantly (p < 0.05) larger anterior and posterior facial heights, maxillary length, and mandibular ramus height than females, with no significant (p > 0.05) difference for facial soft-tissue parameters. The 3D norm dataset revealed Taiwanese Chinese-specific facial characteristics, with Taiwanese presenting (p < 0.05) a more convex profile, protrusive maxillary apical bases, protruding mandible, protruding upper and lower lips, and a shorter maxillary length and lower facial height than Caucasians. Taiwanese had significantly (p < 0.05) larger maxillary projection, vertical height ratio, lower face throat angle, nasolabial angle, and upper lip protrusion than Singaporean Chinese. No significant (p > 0.05) difference was observed between 3D norms and computer-aided simulation-derived 3D patient images for horizontal skeletal, vertical skeletal, and dental measurements, with the exception of two dental parameters (p < 0.05). This study contributes to literature by providing gender- and ethnic-specific 3D Burstone cephalometric norms, which can assist in the multidisciplinary-based delivery of orthodontic surgical care for Taiwanese Chinese individuals worldwide, including orthodontic management, computer-assisted simulation, and outcome assessment.

Comparison of Orthognathic Surgery Outcomes Between Patients With and Without Underlying High-Risk Conditions: A Multidisciplinary Team-Based Approach and Practical Guidelines. J Clin Med 2019; 8:E1760. [PMID: 31652792 PMCID: PMC6912447 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8111760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2019] [Revised: 10/16/2019] [Accepted: 10/22/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Orthognathic surgery (OGS) has been successfully adopted for managing a wide spectrum of skeletofacial deformities, but patients with underlying conditions have not been treated using OGS because of the relatively high risk of surgical anesthetic procedure-related complications. This study compared the OGS outcomes of patients with and without underlying high-risk conditions, which were managed using a comprehensive, multidisciplinary team-based OGS approach with condition-specific practical perioperative care guidelines. Data of surgical anesthetic outcomes (intraoperative blood loss, operative duration, need for prolonged intubation, reintubation, admission to an intensive care unit, length of hospital stay, and complications), facial esthetic outcomes (professional panel assessment), and patient-reported outcomes (FACE-Q social function, psychological well-being, and satisfaction with decision scales) of consecutive patients with underlying high-risk conditions (n = 30) treated between 2004 and 2017 were retrospectively collected. Patients without these underlying conditions (n = 30) treated during the same period were randomly selected for comparison. FACE-Q reports of 50 ethnicity-, sex-, and age-matched healthy individuals were obtained. The OGS-treated patients with and without underlying high-risk conditions differed significantly in their American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS) classification (p < 0.05), Charlson comorbidity scores, and Elixhauser comorbidity scores. The two groups presented similar outcomes (all p > 0.05) for all assessed outcome parameters, except for intraoperative blood loss (p < 0.001; 974.3 ± 592.7 mL vs. 657.6 ± 355.0 mL). Comparisons with healthy individuals revealed no significant differences (p > 0.05). The patients with underlying high-risk conditions treated using a multidisciplinary team-based OGS approach and the patients without the conditions had similar OGS-related outcomes.
