Abstract

Abstract:

Sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) is a versatile orthognathic procedure for correcting mandibular deformities. Various complications can possibly occur when performing SSRO, and it can even cause serious adverse consequences because of the complexity of anatomy and operative procedures. The types of complications and their accompanying clinical manifestations are closely related to the choice of diagnosis and treatment strategies and clinical outcomes. To discuss the causes, prevention, and treatment measures of various common complications of SSRO, domestic orthognathic surgery experts prepared this consensus to increase the awareness of SSRO complications, thereby ensuring safe surgical procedure and good results.

Key words: sagittal split ramus osteotomy, orthognathic surgery, complications, experts’ consensus, dentofacial deformity
