RESUMO
Bimaxillary surgery is a painful invasive procedure in plastic surgery. Pain control is typically achieved using intravenous analgesics. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of a novel temperature-responsive hydrogel, PF72, mixed with ropivacaine, as a local pain management solution when applied directly to the surgical site following orthognathic surgery. The study was conducted from October 2022 to July 2023 and included a cohort of 40 candidates for orthognathic surgery, encompassing LeFort I maxillary ostectomy and sagittal split ramus osteotomy. The participants were divided into an Injection group (n = 20), where PF72 was administered at the surgical site before the orthognathic surgery, and a Control group (n = 20), which relied solely on intravenous analgesics. Pain was evaluated at 3, 6, 24, 48, and 72 h after surgery using a numerical rating scale (NRS). The mean NRS scores at 24 h were 6.35 and 4 for the Control and Injection groups, respectively. The mean NRS scores at 72 h were 3.4 and 2.55 for the Control and Injection groups, respectively. Patients who received PF72 experienced less pain than those who received intravenous analgesics. These findings underscore the potential of PF72 as an effective alternative for enhancing pain management in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.Level of Evidence III Therapeutic study.

The main objective of our study was to assess the clinical implications of concomitant intraoperative removal of maxillary third molars (M3M) with the Le Fort I osteotomy 'twist' technique (LF1twist). A prospective comparative study was carried out regarding the necessity of bone trimming around the pedicle, intra- and postoperative complications, surgery time, and the level of pterygomaxillary junction (PMJ) separation following LF1twist with concomitant intraoperative removal of M3M (test group) versus LF1twist alone (control group). Outcome parameters were assessed from clinical and radiographic measurements. In total, 100 surgery sites were included (50 in each group). The mean surgery time was 53.4 ± 7.8 min, with nonsignificant differences between groups. The frequency of intraoperative complications was negligible, with no significant differences between groups - though all bleeding events (n = 4) occurred when M3M was not removed concomitantly. No postoperative complications were recorded. Percentages of disarticulations occurring at the PMJ were similar in both groups. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that removal of M3M in conjunction with LF1twist does not imply additional surgery time, or differences regarding the level of PMJ separation or perioperative complications. Furthermore, the concomitant procedure reduces the amount of maxillary and palatal bone in the disjunction area, which facilitates down-fracture and field clearing for maxillary repositioning.

BACKGROUND: Anesthesia provider experience impacts nausea and vomiting in other surgical specialties but its influence within orthognathic surgery remains unclear. PURPOSE: The study purpose was to evaluate whether anesthesiologist experience with orthognathic surgery impacts postoperative outcomes, including nausea, emesis, narcotic use, and perioperative adverse events, for patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE: This is a retrospective cohort study of subjects aged 12 to 35 years old who underwent orthognathic surgery, including Le Fort 1 osteotomy ± bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, at Boston Children's Hospital from August 2018 to January 2022. Subjects were excluded if they had incomplete medical records, a syndromic diagnosis, or a hospital stay of greater than 2 days. PREDICTOR VARIABLE: The predictor variable was attending anesthesia provider experience with orthognathic surgery. Providers were classified as experienced or inexperienced, with experienced providers defined as having anesthetized ≥10 orthognathic operations during the study period. MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLES: The primary outcome variable was postoperative nausea. Secondary outcome variables were emesis, narcotic use in the hospital, and perioperative adverse events within 30 days of their operation. COVARIATES: Study covariates included age, sex, race, comorbidities (body mass index, history of psychiatric illness, cleft lip and/or palate, chronic pain, postoperative nausea/vomiting, gastrointestinal conditions), enhanced recovery after surgery protocol enrollment, and intraoperative factors (operation performed, anesthesia/procedure times, estimated blood loss, intravenous fluid and narcotic administration, and anesthesiologist's years in practice). ANALYSES: χ2 and unpaired t-tests were used to compare primary predictor and covariates against outcome variables. A P-value <.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: There were 118 subjects included in the study after 4 were excluded (51.7% female, mean age 19.1 ± 3.30 years). There were 71 operations performed by 5 experienced anesthesiologists (mean cases/provider 15.4 ± 5.95) and 47 cases by 22 different inexperienced providers (mean cases/provider 1.91 ± 1.16). The nausea rate was 52.1% for experienced providers and 53.2% for inexperienced providers (P = .909). There were no statistically significant associations between anesthesiologist experience and any outcome variable (P > .341). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Anesthesia providers' experience with orthognathic surgery did not significantly influence postoperative nausea, emesis, narcotic use, or perioperative adverse events.

The aim of this study was to identify clinical factors associated with progressive facial swelling after orthognathic surgery. Patients diagnosed with jaw deformities and undergoing orthognathic surgery were retrospectively evaluated, and those with surgical site infection, Le Fort I osteotomy, or genioplasty only were excluded. Facial swelling volume was calculated by comparing facial volume preoperatively and three days postoperatively using 3D images and image analysis software (VECTRA H2). FXIII was measured within three days after surgery in only patients with unexplained postoperative bleeding or hematoma. The correlation between facial swelling volume and clinical factors was statistically analyzed. Facial swelling volume was examined in 78 patients. Univariate analysis showed a significant difference between facial swelling volume (mean = 41.6 cm3) and operation time (mean = 209.3 min, r = 0.283, p = 0.012), ΔHb level (mean = 1.18 g/dL, r = 0.235, p = 0.039), as well as decreased factor XIII activity (mean = 75.3%, p = 0.012). Multivariate analysis showed a significant difference between facial swelling volume and FXIII deficiency (standard error = 6.44, p = 0.031).Progressive facial swelling immediately after orthognathic surgery may be due to factor XIII deficiency.

AIM: The aim of this study was to retrospectively investigate the risk factors and their association on bimaxillary osteotomies to be able to improve patient selection and bimaxillary osteotomy planning. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients treated with a bimaxillary osteotomy were included in the study. The complications were collected retrospectively from the patient data records. The effects of certain predictor variables on complication rates were also studied. RESULTS: Sixty-one patients (48.0%) suffered from peri- or postoperative complications, or both. Twenty-five various perioperative complications were reported on 25 patients (19.6%) and 63 postoperative complications on 46 patients (36.2%). Ten patients (7.8%) suffered from both perioperative and postoperative complications. The effect of various predictor variables (sex, age, general health, type of malocclusion, surgery planning, use of bone grafts, and type of maxillary or mandibular movement) on complications was investigated, but we could not find any single factor to affect significantly on complication rate. CONCLUSION: Both perioperative and postoperative complications are common in bimaxillary surgery, which must be noted in patient preoperative information. However, life-threatening complications are rare. Patient profile, bone grafting, type of osteosynthesis, or segmentation of the maxilla do not seem to affect the complication risk.

PURPOSE: This study sought to evaluate the effect of subspinal Le Fort â osteotomy (SLFâ O) and alar base chinch suture (ABCS) in preventing postoperative changes of nasal shape following maxillary movement of advancement-impaction (MAI) or advancement-downward (MAD) by analyzing changes of nasal soft tissue on computed tomography (CT) images. METHODS: Forty-three Japanese patients with dentofacial deformity who underwent orthognathic surgery with SLFâ O and ABCS were retrospectively examined. Maxillary movement and changes to soft tissues around the nose were analyzed using pre- and postoperative CT. RESULTS: Increased nasal width and alar base width, upturning of the nasal tip and flattening of the nose occurred in both groups, with more prominent changes in MAI. MAD showed horizontal maxillary movement strongly correlated with changes in pronasale and subnasale. Preoperative nasal height correlated negatively with changes to nasal height in both groups, and to nasolabial angle and nasal tip angle in MAD. There were no correlations between the tightness of ABCS during operation and postoperative nasal soft tissue changes including nasal width. CONCLUSION: Postoperative changes to nasal shape following SLFâ O and ABCS need to be considered with advance movements of the maxilla, regardless of vertical maxillary movement. Postoperative pronasale and subnasale may be estimable from the amount of the maxillary advance movement in MAD. Postoperative changes in nasal shape may be more prominent in cases with low nasal height.

The Le Fort I osteotomy is used to reposition the maxilla to correct numerous maxillofacial and occlusal deformities. The aim of this study was to delineate perioperative complication rates associated with Le Fort I osteotomy and determine whether the number of maxillary segments or bone grafting yielded increased complication rates. Patients undergoing Le Fort I osteotomy from 2012 to 2019 were identified from the multi-institution "National Surgical Quality Improvement Program" database using Current Procedure Terminology codes. The predictor variables of interest included maxillary segmentation defined as 1, 2, or 2 pieces and the presence or absence of bone graft. Perioperative complications were collected as the primary outcome variable, including superficial and deep space infections, wound dehiscence, airway complication, peripheral nerve injury, and hemorrhage. The secondary outcome variables included readmission and reoperation rate within the 30-day postoperative period. Complication rates were compared using multivariate analysis across groups stratified by the number of maxillary segments and inclusion of bone grafting. Of the 532 patients that met the inclusion criteria, 333 (63%) underwent 1-piece, 114 (21%) 2-piece, and 85 (16%) 2-piece Le Fort I osteotomy procedures. A total of 48 patients exhibited complications (9%), with hemorrhage (2.3%) being the most common complication observed. The number of maxillary segments was not a significant predictor of perioperative complications ( P = 0.948) nor was the use of bone grafting ( P = 0.279).

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of support splint treatment for deformities and deviations of the nasal septum after Le Fort I osteotomy (LFI). Patients were divided into two groups: the retainer group wore a nasal support splint immediately after LFI for 7 days, and the no retainer group did not wear a nasal support splint. Evaluation was performed by measuring the ratio of the difference between the left and right sides of the nasal cavity area (ratio of nasal cavity) and the angle of the nasal septum using three computed tomography frontal images (anterior, middle, and posterior) before and one year postoperatively. Sixty patients were included and divided into two groups, the retainer and no retainer group (n=30 each). Regarding the ratio of nasal cavity on middle images at one year postoperatively, the retainer and no retainer groups differed significantly (0.79±0.13 and 0.67±0.24, respectively; P =0.012). The angle of the nasal septum on anterior images at one year postoperatively was 164.8±11.7° in the retainer group and 156.9±13.5° in the no retainer group, showing a significant difference ( P =0.019). This study suggests that support splint treatment after LFI is effective in preventing post-LFI nasal septal deformation or deviation.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to collect and present all the available evidence regarding avascular maxillary necrosis following maxillary osteotomy for orthognathic surgery. METHODS: We performed a systematic review of MEDLINE (via PubMed), Scopus and Cochrane Library dataset in accordance with the PRISMA guideline. We included studies that report on avascular maxillary necrosis after any maxillary osteotomy used in the frame of orthognathic surgery. RESULTS: Sixteen studies reporting a total of 65 patients with postoperative avascular maxillary necrosis were included. Those reported avascular necrosis in 32 female patients and 19 male patients. Multisegmented Le Fort I osteotomy was the most common type of related operation amongst the patients followed by single segment Le Fort I osteotomy. CONCLUSIONS: Although avascular maxillary necrosis is a very rare complication after maxillary orthognathic surgery it can be complicated with partial / complete loss of the maxilla. A personalized selection of the surgical technique should be made for any patient. Caution is warranted in cleft patients and in patients undergoing multisegmented Le Fort I osteotomies, so that the vitality of the maxilla and especially its anterior part is preserved. In the case when avascular necrosis arises, management should be immediate and precise. As for the reconstruction, it needs to be tailored according to the maxillary defect.

Pterygomaxillary disarticulation (PMD) contributes to surgical complications of Le Fort 1 osteotomy and is associated with undesirable fractures of the pterygoid plates. The aim of this paper was to investigate the patterns of PMD in Le Fort I osteotomies using Rowe's disimpaction forceps, and to evaluate correlations with age and anatomical measurements. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 70 consecutive orthognathic patients were retrospectively evaluated to study four patterns of PMD: Type 1 - PMD at, or anterior to, the pterygomaxillary junction (PMJ); Type 2 - PMD posterior to the PMJ; Type 3 - PMJ separation with comminuted fracture of the pterygoid plates; Type 4 - disarticulation of the maxilla involving the pterygoid plates above the level of the osteotomy line. The preoperative anteroposterior and mediolateral thicknesses of the PMJ and the length of the medial and lateral pterygoid plates were assessed. Satisfactory PMD was achieved in all cases and no severe complications were reported, including vascular, dental, mucosal, or neural damage. The most common PMD was Type 1 (54.3%), followed by Type 2 (40%). Comminuted fracture of the pterygoid plates was limited to 5.7% of cases, and no Type 4 was detected. A weak correlation was detected between PMJ thickness and PMD pattern (p = 0.04). No statistically significant correlation was detected between patients' age and type of PMD. PMD of Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy using a Smith spreader and Rowe's disimpaction forceps proved safe, with minimal damage to the pterygoid plates.

The causes of visual impairment following Le Fort osteotomy for syndromic craniosynostosis have not been completely elucidated. The authors investigated the potential causes and means of prevention of optic nerve damage, with particular emphasis on intraoperative blood transfusion volume and operating time. This retrospective study evaluated patients who underwent Le Fort III osteotomy for syndromic craniosynostosis between 2000 and 2020. Data on pupillary reflex, pupil size, operating time, blood transfusion, age at time of surgery, sex, and syndrome type were obtained from medical records. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis with the level of statistical significance set at P <0.05. For the 86 patients included, the mean values of operating time, amount of blood transfusion based on body weight, amount of blood transfusion per body weight per hour, and age were 6.0 hours (range: 3.5-12.3 h), 30.5 mL/kg (range: 0-322 mL/kg), 5.14 mL/kg/h (range: 0-35.7 mL/kg/h), and 10.0 years (range: 4-38 y), respectively. Crouzon, Apert, and Pfeiffer syndromes were observed in 49, 29, and 8 patients, respectively. Abnormal pupillary findings were observed in 27 patients of whom 25 showed no abnormalities in subsequent visual function and 2 developed blindness. Abnormal pupillary findings correlated with the amount of blood transfused per body weight ( P =0.0082) and amount of blood transfused per body weight per hour ( P =0.0052). As demonstrated in this study, increased intraoperative bleeding and amount of blood transfused were associated with optic nerve damage, particularly during acute bleeding. Prompt inspection of the pupils following surgery is therefore warranted.

BACKGROUND: During bimaxillary surgery, manipulation of the pterygoid plate is required to facilitate movement of the maxilla. This study examined the complications that occurred after handling the pterygoid plate during a Le Fort I osteotomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study compared and analyzed complications according to the pterygoid plate handling method in 80 patients who underwent bimaxillary surgery at Pusan National University Dental Hospital from December 2015 to July 2020. The pterygoid plate was fractured or removed intentionally only if it interfered with the maxilla. Otherwise, it was not treated. The complications during surgery and the follow-up period were investigated. RESULTS: Fourteen patients experienced complications, of which excessive bleeding, hearing problems, and nonunion were encountered in 10, 2, and 2 patients, respectively. Of the 10 patients with excessive bleeding patients, the pterygoid plate was manipulated in 8 patients, which was controlled during surgery. Two patients complained of hearing loss with ear congestion immediately after surgery; both patients improved spontaneously within 1 month. Two nonunion patients underwent plate refixation at least 6 months postoperatively, and normal healing was achieved afterward. CONCLUSIONS: Fracture and removal of the pterygoid plate during orthognathic surgery did not significantly affect the occurrence of complications during and after surgery.

ABSTRACT: Maxillary sinusitis is 1 of the postoperative complications of the Le Fort I osteotomy, this study investigated the related factors of maxillary sinusitis after Le Fort I osteotomy. A total of 23 cases, 92 controls, and 11 related factors were included in this case-control study with a 1:4 case-control ratio. The risk factors for maxillary sinusitis after Le Fort I were examined by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator multivariate conditional logistic regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator multivariate linear regression. The patency of maxillary sinus ostium at 6 months after surgery was significantly associated with maxillary sinusitis after Le Fort I osteotomy. Compared with the obstructed maxillary sinus ostium, the percentage of the volume of the healthy air cavity in the complete sinus cavity increased 70.7% when the maxillary sinus ostium was unobstructed, and 95% confidence interval was 0.610 to 0.805. Similarly, when the maxillary sinus ostium was wide, the percentage increased 6.0% compared with the narrow 1, and 95% confidence interval was 0.013 to 0.107. This study indicated that the patency of maxillary sinus ostium has an important impact on maxillary sinusitis after Le Fort I osteotomy. Close attention should be paid to maintain the maxillary sinus ostium and the drainage of maxillary sinuses unobstructed in a clinical setting.

PURPOSE: The etiology for blindness after Le Fort I osteotomy is poorly understood. The authors propose that a study of the morphology and anatomical relationship of the pterygomaxillary junction to orbital vital structures may be crucial for understanding the possible etiology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective observational study involved analysis of data procured from computed tomography scans of individuals who were categorized into 4 groups based on their skeletal characteristics: skeletal Class I, II, and III and cleft lip and palate (CLP). The outcome variables included i) the height, width, and thickness of the pterygomaxillary junction (PTMJ) which represent its morphology and ii) distance of the PTMJ to the superior orbital fissure and optic canal, to demonstrate its proximity to orbital vital structures. Primary outcome measures were to i) compare variance of the outcome variables across groups, ii) determine association between PTMJ morphology and its proximity to the orbit, and iii) determine association between skeletal morphology and the outcome variables. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to study variance and association. RESULTS: Forty patients (80 sides) were divided into 4 groups. The CLP group demonstrated maximum height and thickness of the PTMJ, whereas the Class II group demonstrated the minimum (P < .001 and P = .001, respectively). The CLP group demonstrated the closest proximity of the PTMJ to orbital vital structures (P < .001), with Class II being the farthest (P < .001). There was a weak positive correlation between the PTMJ height and its thickness and width, whereas a moderate negative correlation was seen between the PTMJ height and its distance from the optic canal and superior orbital fissures (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Morphology of the PTMJ varies with facial skeletal relationship and also influences the relationship of the PTMJ with the orbital vital structures. This may be critical in understanding the pathophysiology of blindness after Le Fort I osteotomies.

INTRODUCTION: This study was conducted to review current knowledge concerning factor and how to proceed with dental discoloration after Le Fort 1 osteotomy (LF1O). MATERIAL & METHODS: A systematic search of the literature was performed in PubMed/Medline and Cochrane library until December 1, 2020 using the following key words: "dental discoloration and osteotomy", "dental discoloration and Le Fort", "dental discoloration and orthognathic", "dental discoloration and surgery", "tooth discoloration and osteotomy", "tooth discoloration and Le Fort", "tooth discoloration and orthognathic", "tooth discoloration and surgery". RESULTS: 705 studies were located by initial screening; 232 were duplicate, 468 did not meet the eligibility criteria, leaving 5 studies. The post-operative follow-up period of the included studies ranged from 6 months to 2 years. CONCLUSION: The present revue found dental discoloration can occur after LF1O in 3.56% of the cases. The follow-up before treatment should be around one years. If the discoloration persisted and pulpal sensibility test is negative, the tooth should be treated. If the pulpal sensibility test is positive, follow-up should be carry on.

The aim of the study was to assess the changes in the condylar position after orthognathic surgery (OGS) and its effect on temporomandibular disorders (TMD). A total of 37 dentofacial deformity patients included in the study who had undergone OGS were divided into three groups: Group I, Le Fort I maxillary advancement; Group II, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) mandibular advancement ± Le Fort I; and Group III, BSSO mandibular setback ± Le Fort I. Patients were evaluated clinically using Diagnostic Criteria for TMD and by radiography preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. The positional changes in condyle were correlated with signs and symptoms of TMD. A total of 37 patients in three groups (Group I, 8 patients; Group II, 10 patients; and Group III, 19 patients) were evaluated. Overall, condyles had anterio-medio-inferior movement with 7 of 8 patients in Group I, 6 of 10 patients in Group II and 13 of 19 patients in Group III having ≤2 mm displacement. In angular changes, inward-anterio-medial movement was observed with 6 of 8 patients in Group I; about 5 of 10 patients, and 10 of 19 patients in Group II and III respectively had ≤5° change. Intragroup and intergroup comparisons showed insignificant changes in TMD and linear/angular movement (p ≥ 0.05). Pearson correlation coefficient was found to be nonsignificant on the radiographic and clinical comparison (p ≥ 0.05). Intrarater reliability (Kappa value) was found to be 0.83, confirming the results. Within the limitations of the study it seems that there are minimal linear and angular changes in condyle after orthognathic surgery that were not responsible for the development of temporomandibular disorders in the postoperative course.

Cranial nerve injury is a described complication of Le Fort I osteotomy technique. The authors present the case of a 45-year-old patient that underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery and suffered unfavorable skull base fractures, which resulted in cranial nerve injury of the II, III, IV, V, and VI nerves on the left side and of the V nerve on the right side, through different mechanisms. One of the mechanisms was cavernous sinus thrombosis, which was never described following Le Fort I technique in a non-cleft patient. The fracture pattern involved the foramen ovale and Meckel's cave, which was also never described after this technique. The resolution of the deficits at the final follow-up at 14 months was incomplete. Le Fort I osteotomy technique is considered a safe technique to correct dentofacial deformities, but serious complications can occur. Pterygomaxillary disjunction and down-fracture must be performed with the utmost care to avoid it.

ABSTRACT: Epistaxis after Le Fort I osteotomy is one of the relatively common postoperative complications. It can be controlled with conservative treatment, such as nasal packing, and will usually improve in a few days. However, if the epistaxis is repeated, the outcome can be life-threatening. A 22-year-old woman underwent Le Fort I osteotomy in order to correct her malocclusion. Postoperatively, pseudoaneurysm was formed in the descending palate artery, causing repeated epistaxis. Then, angiography and embolization were performed. Before the onset of epistaxis, there was discomfort around the nasal area. The patient remained asymptomatic during the 6-month follow-up. Some epistaxis after Le Fort I osteotomy is due to pseudoaneurysm formation in the maxillary artery. It is very rare. The epistaxis is delayed and recurrent. It can cause massive bleeding, and so, requires proper diagnosis and treatment. There may be signs of bleeding as in this case.

This retrospective study was performed to report the peri- and postoperative complications encountered by patients who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy, as well as predictor variables affecting the risk of complications. Patients who underwent only Le Fort I osteotomy were included in the study. Information on peri- and postoperative complications were collected from the patient data records. The effects of certain predictor variables on complication rates were also studied. Twenty-four per cent of the patients suffered from complications, six (6.1%) of whom were reoperated. Most of the complications were minor and transient. Compared with one-piece osteotomy, segmental osteotomy was a significant risk factor predisposing patients to postoperative complications (p = 0.04619). Additionally, the use of patient-specific implants seemed to increase the risk of both perioperative and postoperative complications (p = 0.0248). Currently, the conventional plate fixation method is the primary method in Le Fort I osteotomies. Careful patient selection, surgical planning, and selection of surgical technique seem to be the most important factors in reducing the complication risk. Special attention should be paid with segmental osteotomy surgery.

The Le Fort III advancement was first described in 1950 and has since become a key technique in the armamentarium of craniofacial surgeons. The application of distraction osteogenesis to the craniofacial skeleton has allowed for large movements to be performed safely in young patients. This technique is valuable for correcting exorbitism, airway obstruction owing to midface retrusion, and class III malocclusion. It can be performed with either an external distractor or internal distractors. Although serious complications have been reported, these occur rarely when performed by experienced providers.
