Vertical ramus osteotomy (VSS) is a popular mandibular prognathism surgery. This paper discusses VSS extraoral, intraoral approaches, and sagittal split ramus osteotomy, presenting a novel intraoral VSS technique.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthognathic Surgery

Background:

  • Vertical ramus osteotomy (VSS), also known as vertical subsigmoid osteotomy, is a common procedure for correcting mandibular prognathism.
  • Traditionally, VSS is performed via an extraoral approach, though intraoral access is also possible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the advantages and disadvantages of extraoral VSS, intraoral VSS, and sagittal split ramus osteotomy.
  • To present a novel surgical technique for performing VSS via an intraoral approach, as this method is less commonly performed in Singapore.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative discussion of three surgical techniques: VSS extraoral approach, VSS intraoral approach, and sagittal split ramus osteotomy.
  • Detailed presentation of the authors' specific surgical technique for intraoral VSS.

Main Results:

  • The paper will outline the key benefits and drawbacks of each discussed osteotomy technique.
  • Observations and a detailed surgical technique for intraoral VSS will be provided.

Conclusions:

  • The study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of VSS approaches and sagittal split ramus osteotomy.
  • The authors intend to highlight the feasibility and technique for intraoral VSS, potentially increasing its adoption.
