SIMULTANEOUS REPOSITIONING OF THE MAXILLA AND MANDIBLE FOR CORRECTION OF THE DENTOFACIAL DEFORMITIES

In many cases, orthognathic surgical cases require multiple osteotomies in the maxilla and mandible to achieve the most desirable results. We have treated 7 patients with the dentofacial deformities by simultaneous repositioning of the maxilla and mandible. The results are as follows: 1. The mean duration of the surgical procedure was 9.56 hours. 2. The mean length of hospitalization was 8.86 days. 3. All patients required blood transfusions. They received a mean of 3.86 pints. 4. No patients experienced significant airway embarrasment requring emergency procedures.
