Sagittal split osteotomy has been performed routinely for correction of mandibular prognathism, retrognathia, mild open bite, and asymmetry. Intraoperative and early or late postoperative complications were evaluated in 258 patients operated on by this technique. With meticulous performance of the operation and long-term maxillomandibular fixation, complications can be negligible, and relapse, the most problematic postoperative issue, can be significantly reduced.
矢状劈开截骨术已常规用于矫正下颌前突、下颌后缩、轻度开颌及不对称畸形。对采用该技术手术的258例患者的术中及术后早期或晚期并发症进行了评估。通过精细的手术操作和长期的颌间固定，并发症可忽略不计，且术后最棘手的问题——复发，也可显著减少。
