Sagittal split osteotomy is a tricky and time-consuming operation but gives excellent mobilization of the mandibular body for the purpose of positional changes. A follow-up study of 100 operated patients up to 3 years and more has demonstrated good and stable occlusion and subjective appraisal of improvement in appearance and bite. Negative effects of the operation are injuries to the inferior avleolar and lingual nerves. We are now of the opinion that sagittal split osteotomy is the method of choice only for correction of mandibular retrusion with or without open bite.
矢状劈开截骨术是一项棘手且耗时的手术，但为了实现位置改变，它能很好地移动下颌体。一项对100例接受手术患者长达3年及更长时间的随访研究表明，咬合良好且稳定，患者对外观和咬合改善的主观评价良好。该手术的负面影响是下牙槽神经和舌神经损伤。我们现在认为，矢状劈开截骨术仅为矫正下颌后缩伴或不伴开牙合的首选方法。
