Experience with the sagittal osteotomy of the mandibular ramus: a 13-year review

Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery
R B MacIntosh

Abstract

This report surveys the experience in 236 patients operated on by the author, of whom 155 provided records complete enough to provide information on all the elements of postoperative evaluation. Patients were evaluated at a minimum of 2 years after surgery. The patients had an average age of 23 years, and were predominantly female in a ratio of more than 4:1. No intraoperative or postoperative physiologically threatening problems as elsewhere described in the literature, such as profound blood loss, airway obstruction, or gross loss of bone substance, were encountered. An immediate postoperative paraesthesia incidence of almost 85% was observed, which diminished to 9% 1 year postoperatively. The prolonged paraesthesia were most common in patients over 40 years of age; similarly, healing was prolonged in patients over 40, prompting the author's recommendation that 8 weeks intermaxillary fixation rather than 6 be employed in these patients. The overall relapse rate was approximately 30%; this was clinically significant in approximately 12% of patients, and required reoperation in 4 patients. Relapse was most marked in apertognathic patients, demonstrating, in the author's opinion, that the sagittal ramus osteotomy should not be u...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
