Partial Necrosis of the Mandibular Proximal Segment Following Transoral Vertical Ramus Osteotomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transoral vertical ramus osteotomy (TOVRO) procedure can result in a variety of complications. Complications commonly reported include extensive bleeding due to major blood vessel injury, unpredictable fracture, postoperative infection, neurosensory deficit related Inferior alveolar nerve, insufficient osteosynthesis, and temporomandibular joint problem. The authors describe a case of partial necrosis of the mandibular proximal segment following TOVRO, a rarely reported complication. A 37-year-old otherwise healthy woman underwent Lefort l osteotomy and TOVRO to correct mandibular prognathism. Postoperatively, she developed pain and swelling in the right submandibular region and was found to have a partial necrosis of proximal segment.

Background and Aim: Proximal segment movements following different methods of ramus osteotomy is one of the undesired consequences of orthognathic surgery. Theoretically, it seems that intraoral verticosagittal ramus osteotomy can minimize the movement of proximal segment. In this study, changes in intergonial distance and ramus flaring angles were evaluated and compared in transverse plane aft...
متن کاملA transoral approach for three-dimensional repositioning of the proximal segment after mandibular sagittal split ramus osteotomy.
Maintenance of the presurgical position of the proximal segment is extremely important after a sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) to reduce the incidence of short-term relapse or temporomandibul~ joint dysfunction, particularly when rigid fixation is used.‘” The use of numerous techniques and devices has been proposed to solve the problem of condylar repositioning.4-” In 1985, Luhr’ describe...
متن کاملUltrasonic vertical osteotomy of the distal segment for safe elimination of interference between the proximal and distal segments in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy for mandibular asymmetry.
ilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is commonly used n the correction of dentofacial deformities. However, in cases f facial asymmetry with a shift of the mandibular midline r occlusal cant, the condyle is displaced laterally by the ulling of the proximal segment medially when there is bony nterference between the proximal and distal segments after he osteotomy. When the gap between the pr...
متن کاملUnilateral intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy and sagittal split ramus osteotomy for the treatment of asymmetric mandibles
In surgery for facial asymmetry, mandibles can be classified into two types, rotational and translational, according to the required mandibular movements for surgery. During surgery for rotational mandibular asymmetry, a bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) may cause a large bone gap between the proximal and distal segments as well as condylar displacement, resulting in a relapse of...

OBJECTIVES Buccal fracture of the mandibular proximal bone segment during bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) reduces the postoperative stability. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of this type of fracture on bone healing and postoperative stability after mandibular setback surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients who experienced buccal fracture during SSR...
