Abstract
- Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is the most common orthognathic surgical procedure for the correction of facial deformities. Like any other surgical procedure, it is also associated with a risk of complications. One of these is described in the literature as notching at the lower inferior border of the mandible. Such discontinuity in the contour of the lower border is often a concern for patients. To overcome this complication, we recommend a modified vertical osteotomy cut while performing BSSO.
