Orthognathic surgery and a tale of how three procedures came to be: a letter to the next generations of surgeons

Hugo L Obwegeser. Clin Plast Surg. 2007 Jul.

Abstract

Although the transoral sagittal splitting of the ramus, the osseous genioplasty, and the LeFort osteotomy today are common procedures used by many specialties to solve a broad range of problems, this was not always so. This article describes Hugo Obwegeser's firsthand experience of how these procedures came to be.
