Complications According to the Handling of the Pterygoid Plate During Bimaxillary Surgery
Abstract
Background: During bimaxillary surgery, manipulation of the pterygoid plate is required to facilitate movement of the maxilla. This study examined the complications that occurred after handling the pterygoid plate during a Le Fort I osteotomy. Patients and Methods: This study compared and analyzed complications according to the pterygoid plate handling method in 80 patients who underwent bimaxillary surgery at Pusan National University Dental Hospital from December 2015 to July 2020. The pterygoid plate was fractured or removed intentionally only if it interfered with the maxilla. Otherwise, it was not treated. The complications during surgery and the follow-up period were investigated. Results: Fourteen patients experienced complications, of which excessive bleeding, hearing problems, and nonunion were encountered in 10, 2, and 2 patients, respectively. Of the 10 patients with excessive bleeding patients, the pterygoid plate was manipulated in 8 patients, which was controlled during surgery. Two patients complained of hearing loss with ear congestion immediately after surgery; both patients improved spontaneously within 1 month. Two nonunion patients underwent plate refixation at least 6 months postoperatively, and normal healing was achieved afterward. Conclusions: Fracture and removal of the pterygoid plate during orthognathic surgery did not significantly affect the occurrence of complications during and after surgery.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
