Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Surgical Infections
  • Orthognathic Surgery

Context:

  • Infection is a known, albeit rare, complication following orthognathic surgery.
  • Reported infection rates vary significantly in the literature, ranging from 1% to 15%.

Purpose:

  • To retrospectively review the incidence and types of infections after mandibular osteotomies.
  • To identify patient-related and procedure-related risk factors for infection.
  • To outline preventive measures for surgical site infections.

Summary:

  • A retrospective review of 60 mandibular osteotomies revealed an infection rate of 16% (10 cases).
  • Infections included hematoma, adenitis, and osteitis (both on cortical fragments and implanted material).
  • Identified risk factors were smoking, poor dental hygiene, and prolonged surgery duration.

Impact:

  • This study highlights the importance of meticulous patient care and surgical technique in preventing infections after orthognathic procedures.
  • Findings emphasize the need for smoking cessation, improved dental hygiene, and optimized surgical timing.
  • Recommendations for antibiotic prophylaxis and pre-operative dental care are crucial for reducing surgical site infections.
