    Orthognathic surgery, specifically Le Fort I maxillary osteotomies, can lead to ear pain (otalgia) and middle ear changes. Tympanometry reveals these postoperative alterations, offering insights into otalgia causes.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Orthognathic surgery, including Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy, is increasingly common.
    • Post-surgical complications, such as otalgia, are frequently reported, affecting 25-30% of patients.
    • Acute otitis media requiring myringotomy has been observed post-maxillary osteotomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate changes in tympanometry following total maxillary osteotomy.
    • To explore a potential explanation for middle ear changes and associated otalgia.

    Main Methods:

    • Preoperative and postoperative tympanometric assessments were conducted on patients undergoing total maxillary osteotomy.
    • Clinical observations of middle ear changes and patient-reported otalgia were recorded.

    Main Results:

    • Significant changes in tympanograms were observed after total maxillary osteotomy.
    • These tympanometric alterations correlate with the occurrence of otalgia.

    Conclusions:

    • Total maxillary osteotomy can induce measurable changes in middle ear function.
    • These tympanometric findings may explain the incidence of postoperative otalgia.
    • Further research is warranted to fully understand the pathophysiology of these ear complications.
