Abstract

The authors wish to present a review of the literature on complications in orthognathic surgery. They are classified into non-specific, general complications and into complications which are specific, according to the region the osteotomy is performed in. Though the list of possible complications is very extensive, one should realise that they are often based on single case-reports and that orthognathic surgery in general should be considered as a group of safe technical, surgical procedures.
