The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying causes of the need for redo orthognathic surgery, address surgical strategies, and evaluate postoperative outcomes. A retrospective chart review was conducted involving patients who underwent redo orthognathic surgery between January 2018 and April 2020. A total of 32 patients were included in this study. Prior to the procedures, patients' chief complaints were unfavorable facial profile, asymmetry, relapse, malocclusion, obstructive sleep apnea, and long face. To address these issues, we performed redo orthognathic surgery: this resulted in satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes in most cases. Considering the challenging nature of a redo orthognathic surgery, it is crucial for surgeons to accurately evaluate the patient's chief complaints and tailor individualized surgical plans to meet the patient's expectations.

Context: Segment and osteosynthesis malposition resulting in patients' complaints (mainly about asymmetries) are encountered in orthofacial/orthognathic surgery.
Objective, Design, And Setting: We planned to investigate the usefulness of intraoperative three-dimensional (3D) imaging concerning positioning and fixation of bone segments and osteosynthesis in orthognathic/orthofacial surgery. We performed a prospective study of non-consecutive cases.

Orthognathic surgery, now well known to the general public, is becoming increasingly successful. It is the most predictable approach to the treatment of dento-maxillo-facial deformities. As with plastic surgery the number of indications increasing the number of difficult cases follows as well as the searching for perfection.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare a cohort of patients who had a developmental dentofacial deformity (DFD) and then underwent redo orthognathic surgery (OGS) to a similar cohort who underwent primary OGS. We hypothesized that there would be no difference in operative time, blood replacement, perioperative airway risks, length of hospital stay, or complication rates.
Study Design: We implemented a retrospective study of patients with a DFD initially treated with orthodontics and jaw osteotomies and later with redo OGS.

The present paper aims to evaluate the long-term incidence and severity of the neurosensory disturbance (NSD) of the inferior alveolar nerve following bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) of the mandibular ramus performed with piezosurgery. A retrospective study on patients referred to the Maxillofacial Surgery and Dentistry Clinic of the University of Verona for orthognathic surgery between March 2013 and October 2015 was performed. Inclusion criteria were having undergone BSSO with piezosurgery and follow-up lasting at least 24 months.
