To assess whether surgical procedures have fulfilled patients' expectations, questionnaires were sent to 41 patients who had undergone surgical-orthodontic correction of skeletal Class III malocclusions. Ninety per cent of the patients answered that they were satisfied with the results in regard to their chief problems and 85% had improved masticatory function. A favorable change in appearance was recognized by 24 patients, whereas 15 patients noticed no major changes, and two were displeased with the changes. Patients' expectations were not always satisfied despite evident improvement by objective standards. Factors affecting their satisfaction with the results of the surgery are discussed.
为评估外科手术是否达到了患者的期望，我们向41例接受过骨性III类错颌畸形外科正畸矫治的患者发放了问卷。90%的患者表示对主要问题的治疗结果感到满意，85%的患者咀嚼功能得到了改善。24例患者认为外貌有了良好变化，15例患者未察觉到明显变化，2例患者对这些变化不满意。尽管客观标准显示有明显改善，但患者的期望并非总能得到满足。本文讨论了影响他们对手术结果满意度的因素。
