Introduction
Orthognathic surgery is a well-established treatment modality for the treatment of advanced dentofacial deformities. On the
other hand, there are also numerous complications associated with orthognathic surgery.
Material & Methods
The purpose of this study was to review the literature for gathering and summarizing the pre-operative, intra-operative and
post-operative complications associated with orthognathic surgery, providing adequate knowledge for the oral and maxillofacial
surgeon.
Results
There is no consensus on the incidence of complications in orthognathic surgery but the most commonly reported complications
were found to be hemorrhage, nerve damage, infection, bad splits or undesired fractures at the osteotomy lines or distant
places, post-operative nausea and vomiting, aseptic necrosis, mal-union, non-union, relapse, and dental injuries. If timely
precautions are not taken, the result of some serious complications such as hemorrhage and infections might even be lethal.
Conclusion
Surgeons need to be well prepared to avoid and manage all possible complications associated with orthognathic surgery
and inform their patients extensively about these prior to the operation, getting their written consents. This will help prevent
medicolegal issues, leading to better treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.
