Abstract

Sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) is a versatile orthognathic procedure for correcting mandibular deformities. Various complications can possibly occur when performing SSRO, and it can even cause serious adverse consequences because of the complexity of anatomy and operative procedures. The types of complications and their accompanying clinical manifestations are closely related to the choice of diagnosis and treatment strategies and clinical outcomes. To discuss the causes, prevention, and treatment measures of various common complications of SSRO, domestic orthognathic surgery experts prepared this consensus to increase the awareness of SSRO complications, thereby ensuring safe surgical procedure and good results.

下颌支矢状骨劈开术(SSRO)是正颌外科中最为常用的一类矫治下颌骨畸形的手术。由于局部解剖和操作步骤的复杂性,SSRO出现各类并发症的可能性较大,甚至可能造成严重的不良后果。诊疗策略的选择及转归与并发症的类型及其临床表现密切相关。为此,国内相关专家编写本共识,对SSRO各类常见并发症的原因、预防、处置措施进行阐述,以期提高广大同行对SSRO并发症的认识,确保手术安全进行并获得良好效果。.
