Material and Method 115 medical records of the dentofacial deformed patients treated during 1996-2001 were collected and analyzed. There were 46 males and 69 females, aged 16-45. The data were categorized into presurgical orthodontic treatment, types of dentofacial deformities, operative procedures, postoperative complications and duration of postoperative review.

Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) was operated on 91.3% of the total patients. The most common complication 6 months after the operation was paresthesia of the lower lip (48.7%).
