    Summary

    Jaw immobilization significantly impacts psychosexual health, causing issues like shortness of breath and altered self-image. Surgeons should counsel patients on potential sexual difficulties following jaw injury treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Psychosexual Medicine

    Background:

    • Jaw immobilization is a common treatment for oral and maxillofacial injuries.
    • The psychosexual impact of jaw immobilization is not well-documented.

    Observation:

    • A pilot study interviewed ten patients with immobilized jaws.
    • Interviews focused on identifying and managing sexual difficulties.

    Findings:

    • Nine out of ten patients reported psychosexual problems.
    • Common issues included dyspnea during intercourse, difficulty with oral foreplay, altered self-image, medication-induced sexual dysfunction, depression, and inability to perform oral-genital contact.

    Implications:

    • Patients desire pre-operative counseling regarding potential sexual dysfunction.
    • Further research is needed to improve patient management and outcomes for maxillofacial trauma.
