Segmental osteotomy surgeries

Segmental osteotomy is a surgical procedure performed to reposition segments of the jawbone to correct dental and skeletal abnormalities. It is commonly used in orthognathic surgery to address conditions such as malocclusion, crowding, or facial asymmetry.

Complications :

• Nerve injury leading to temporary or permanent numbness.
• Infection at the surgical site.
• Bone non-union or delayed healing.
• Malocclusion requiring further correction.
• Relapse of the segment position over time.

Segmental osteotomy is an effective surgical approach for correcting jaw discrepancies and improving occlusion. Proper planning, precise surgical execution, and diligent postoperative care contribute to successful outcomes and enhanced facial aesthetics.
