a Comparative Analysis of Subspinal and Conventional Le Fort I Osteotomy on Nasolabial Soft Tissues

In this study, the effect of the type of osteotomy used in the osteotomy phase of orthognathic surgery on the changing parameters (bleeding, edema, soft tissue changes, etc.) during and after surgery will be investigated. While comparing conventional Le Fort I osteotomy with subspinal Le Fort I osteotomy, the advantages and disadvantages of the surgical techniques in the intraoperative and postoperative periods will be determined. This will be the first study to evaluate nasolabial soft tissue changes after subspinal Le Fort osteotomy and to subjectively and objectively compare it with conventional osteotomy performed without v-y closure and cinch sutures, and to evaluate the effect of both methods on postoperative edema. Subspinal Le Fort osteotomy is thought to minimize the widening of the nasal floor. This study has a unique value because it not only evaluates the soft tissue effectiveness of Le Fort osteotomy methods but also provides a three-dimensional comparison of these variables and a subjective explanation. Simultaneously comparing many parameters during and after surgery, and thanks to the results obtained from this study, it will contribute to increasing both the in-operative comfort of oral surgeons and the post-operative comfort of patients. the result of this study, subspinal Le Fort osteotomy will reduce bleeding by reducing dissection during surgery, minimize damage to soft tissues, and prevent unwanted soft tissue changes after surgery.
