Revision Orthognathic Surgery

Revision Orthognathic Surgery requires extensive surgical experience and expertise, as it must address multiple challenges, including surgical limitations caused by previously resected jawbone, insufficient bony fixation points, and altered anatomical structures. ID Hospital performs revision surgery by identifying issues from the previous procedure through collaboration among the Face Bone Center’s medical specialists, along with 3D CT and navigation systems.

Features of ID Revision Orthognathic Surgery

Point 1. Enhanced Safety With 3D CT and a Navigation System

Because the jawbone has been resected and the facial structure altered during Orthognathic Surgery, Revision surgery is performed precisely by carefully measuring the thickness and amount of remaining bone, as well as its distance from nerve pathways.

Point 2. Selection of Safe Fixation Points

The causes of the failed Orthognathic Surgery are analyzed, and new fixation points are identified to secure the jawbone stably in the correct position and prevent relapse.

Point 3. Precise Occlusion Without Intermaxillary Fixation

By omitting the process of wiring the upper and lower jaws together, patients can eat and speak immediately after surgery and breathe more comfortably, enhancing safety. In addition, being able to move the mouth reduces pain and enables faster swelling recovery.

Surgical Procedure

STEP 1. Identifying Issues With the Previous Surgery

Issues with the previous surgery are identified using 3D CT and a navigation system, enabling resection and movement without error.

STEP 2. Precise Occlusion

Precise occlusion is achieved through an ultra-precise TMJ registration system, joint stabilization techniques, and occlusion stabilization techniques.

STEP 3. Fixation After Confirming TMJ Position

After confirming the normal position of the temporomandibular joint, it is securely fixed, eliminating the need for intermaxillary fixation and Orthodontic Treatment.
