Our Team’s Safety Management of the Sagittal Splitting Method of the Mandibular Ramus

要旨

Orthognathic surgery is performed for congenital anomalies, growth of jaw abnormalities, and tumor and trauma after jaw treatment. The sagittal splitting method of the mandibular ramus is performed most commonly in the world, but resulting complications are increasing. The sagittal procedure and perioperative care have been established, however, complications of orthognathic surgery have been reported in many hospitals. Therefore, we should perform the surgery safely, with careful consideration, and eventually we need to improve the surgery.Our treatment goal is to improve the facial form and to attain appropriate occlusion. Accordingly, we need to understand the patient’s background as a useful reference for drawing up the treatment plan. This paper reports on a safe sagittal splitting method of the mandibular ramus performed by our team.
