Balel Y. The Last 40 Years of Orthognathic Surgery: A Bibliometric Analysis. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2023:S0278-2391(23)00317-8. [PMID: 37075807 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2023.03.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Bibliometric analyses provide information on the effectiveness, performance, trends, and various other characteristics of research by using mathematical and statistical analysis methods for data related to scientific publications. This study aims to determine the focus of studies in the field of orthognathic surgery, map it, and present the results in a simplified manner through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the relevant literature. METHODS In this bibliometric analysis study, orthognathic surgery publications from 1980 to 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The independent variables were co-citations, while the outcome variables included cross-country collaboration analysis, keyword analysis, co-citation analysis, and cluster analysis of the co-citation network. Covariates were the number of publications, number of citations, year range, centrality value, and silhouette value. The bibliometric analysis was conducted using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R-Studio software. RESULTS A total of 7,135 publications and 75,822 references were included in the analysis, and the annual growth rate of publications was 9.52%. The co-citation clustering analysis revealed that the orthognathic surgery literature was organized into 16 subject headings. Patient satisfaction was found to be the most widely published topic. The youngest clusters, representing new topics in the field, were virtual planning and examination of condylar changes after orthognathic surgery. CONCLUSION Bibliometric analysis methods were used to evaluate the 40-year history of the orthognathic surgery literature. The analysis identified the most influential publications, the topics in which the literature is divided, and hot spots in the field. By conducting similar bibliometric research studies in the future, the progress and future direction of the literature can be monitored based on evidence.

Development and Validation of a Nomogram to Predict the Risk of Blood Transfusion in Orthognathic Patients. J Craniofac Surg 2022; 33:2067-2071. [PMID: 35175980 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000008568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2021] [Accepted: 01/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to establish a nomogram to predict the probability of blood transfusion in patients with preoperative autologous blood donation before orthognathic surgery. METHODS The authors conducted a retrospective case-control study on consecutive orthognathic patients with preoperative autologous blood donation from January 2014 to December 2020. The outcome variable was the actual transfusion of autologous blood (ATAB). Predictors included patients' demographics, preoperative blood cell test, vital signs, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, surgical procedure, operation duration, and blood loss. Univariable and multivariable logistic regressions were performed to identify independent risk factors associated with ATAB. A nomogram was constructed to predict the risk for ATAB. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve and the consistency index. RESULTS A total of 142 patients (75 males and 67 females) with an average age of 22.72 ± 5.34 years donated autologous blood before their orthognathic surgery. Patients in the transfusion group (n = 56) had significantly lower preoperative red blood cell counts (4.74 ± 0.55 × 109/L versus 4.98 ± 0.45 × 109/L, P = 0.0063), hemoglobin (141.48 ± 15.18 g/dL versus 150.33 ± 14.73 g/dL, P = 0.0008), and hematocrit (41.05% ± 4.03% versus 43.32% ± 3.42%, P = 0.0006), more bimaxillary osteotomies (92.86% versus 56.98%, P < 0.001), longer operation duration (348.4 ± 111.10 minutes versus 261.6 ± 115.44 minutes, P < 0.001), and more intraoperative blood loss (629.23 ± 273.06 ml versus 359.53 ± 222.84 ml, P < 0.001) than their counterparts (n = 86) in the non-transfusion group. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that only hemoglobin (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.864, 95% confidence interval [CI]:0.76-0.98, P = 0.026), operation procedures (adjusted OR 8.14, 95% CI:1.69-39.16, P = 0.009), and blood loss (adjusted OR 1.006, 95% CI:1.002-1.009, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for ATAB. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the nomogram was 0.823. The consistency index of the nomogram was 0.823. The calibration curve illustrated that the nomogram was highly consistent with the actual observation. CONCLUSIONS The nomogram is a simple and useful tool with good accuracy and performance in predicting the risk for blood transfusion.

Predictors of Blood Loss During Orthognathic Surgery and the Need for Pre-Deposit Autologous Blood Donation. J Craniofac Surg 2021; 33:1162-1165. [PMID: 34907954 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000008410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to identify the clinico-laboratory predictors of relative blood loss (RBL) during orthognathic surgery and determine the need for predeposit autologous blood donation (PABD) for the surgery. Using a retrospective study design, 297 patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery between 2016 and 2020 were enrolled. To investigate patient-specific risk factors, we calculated the allowable blood loss (ABL) for each patient and RBL as the ratio of estimated intraoperative blood loss (EIBL) to ABL. The correlations between the clinico-laboratory variables and EIBL and RBL were analyzed using stepwise multivariate regression analysis, and independent t test and one-way ANOVA were performed.There was no significant difference in transfusion rate between the PABD group (N = 202/279) and non-PABD group (N = 77/279) (P = 0.052). Sex (P < 0.001), body mass index class (P = 0.001), operative time (P < 0.001), and baseline hematocrit (P < 0.001) were significant predictors of EIBL and RBL. EIBL exceeded ABL in only 2 patients. The significant factors of RBL in orthognathic surgery were hematocrit, body mass index, and operative time. Clinicians should be more careful about bleeding in patients with low baseline hematocrit level or high body mass index, or those expected to undergo prolonged surgeries owing to a complicated surgical plan. The need for PABD before orthognathic surgery is low.

Oh AY, Seo KS, Lee GE, Kim HJ. Effect of preoperative autologous blood donation on patients undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery: a retrospective analysis. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2015; 45:486-9. [PMID: 26678802 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2015.11.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2015] [Revised: 09/22/2015] [Accepted: 11/13/2015] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The efficacy of preoperative autologous blood donation (PABD) was evaluated according to preoperative haemoglobin (Hb) values. The records of 295 patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery between July 2007 and August 2008 were reviewed. The records for autologous blood donation, intraoperative transfusion, and related laboratory studies were also evaluated. The transfusion trigger used during this period was Hb < 10 g/dl. A total of 189 patients (64.1%) made a PABD and 106 patients (35.9%) did not. The incidence of allogeneic blood transfusion was significantly lower in the PABD group than in the no PABD group (15.9% vs. 29.2%, P = 0.007). This difference was greater in patients with a preoperative Hb < 14 g/dl (20.3% vs. 62.5%, P < 0.0001), and no difference was found in patients with Hb ≥ 14 g/dl (13.3% vs. 14.9%, P = 0.83). PABD reduced the incidence of allogeneic blood transfusion in patients undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, particularly in patients with a preoperative Hb < 14 g/dl. PABD could be used to reduce the frequency of intraoperative allogeneic blood transfusion in these patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate changes of hematologic parameters in bimaxillary surgery. METHODS Fifty-three patients were prospectively evaluated and divided into groups based on the surgical procedure and sex (predictor variables). Hemoglobin, red blood cells, hematocrit, and platelet were the primary outcome variables, operation time the secondary outcome, and the patients' age and weight the other variables. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02364765 (U.S. National Institutes of Health, clinicaltrials.gov). RESULTS There was statistically significant difference between all hematologic parameters before and after surgery, for both men and women, and for all surgical groups. There was a positive correlation between operative time and the decrease (in %) of the hematologic parameters. Linear regression analysis suggested that the Hb values decrease 0.083 % for every minute increase in the operation time, and 0.066, 0.066, and 0.010 % for RBC, Hct, and platelet count, respectively. There was a negative correlation between weight and all hematologic parameters. Correlations between age and hematologic parameters were not statistically significant. Almost all correlations between age, weight, sex, and the surgery group and the hematologic parameters were considered as very weak. Only one patient was transfused. CONCLUSIONS It is suggested that operation time and patient's weight play a bigger role than patient's age and sex in the decrease of hematologic parameters after bimaxillary surgery.

Operative Time, Airway Management, Need for Blood Transfusions, and In-Hospital Stay for Bimaxillary, Intranasal, and Osseous Genioplasty Surgery: Current Clinical Practices. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2015; 74:590-600. [PMID: 26303951 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2015.07.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2015] [Revised: 07/17/2015] [Accepted: 07/28/2015] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess operative time, perioperative airway management, early postoperative cardiopulmonary health, need for blood transfusion, and in-hospital stay associated with simultaneous bimaxillary, intranasal, and osseous genioplasty surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS The authors executed a retrospective cohort study derived from patients treated by 1 surgeon at a single institution from 2009 through 2014. The sample consisted of a consecutive series of patients with symptomatic chronic obstructed nasal breathing and a dentofacial deformity (DFD). All underwent at least a Le Fort I osteotomy, sagittal ramus osteotomies, septoplasty, inferior turbinate reduction, and osseous genioplasty. For each patient, the design of the osteotomies and the fixation techniques were consistent. The outcome variables included need for blood transfusion, operating time, success of nasotracheal intubation, time and place of extubation, early postoperative cardiopulmonary health, length of in-hospital stay, and need for readmission after surgery. RESULTS For the 166 patients studied, the average age was 25 years (range, 13 to 65 yr; 87 female patients [52%]). The primary patterns of presenting DFD included long face (43 of 166, 26%), maxillary deficiency (41 of 166, 25%), asymmetric mandibular excess (37 of 166, 22%), short face (28 of 166, 17%), and mandibular deficiency (15 of 166, 9%). Forty-two patients (25%) were confirmed to have symptomatic obstructive sleep apnea. The open wound operating time averaged 2 hours 59 minutes (standard deviation, 32 minutes). Only 3 of the 166 patients (1.8%) received blood transfusions. All patients underwent successful nasotracheal intubation. Ninety-six percent of patients were extubated in the operating room and the remaining 4% were extubated in the recovery room. No patients required reintubation or tracheostomy. One hundred thirty-seven patients (83%) were discharged after a 1- or 2-night in-hospital stay. Twenty-five (15%) required a 3-night stay and 4 (2%) required a 4-night hospital stay to achieve adequate oral intake. None of the patients required readmission. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms efficient surgical and anesthesia care for patients undergoing simultaneous bimaxillary orthognathic, intranasal, and osseous genioplasty. Anticipating safe nasotracheal intubation with extubation soon after surgery and a limited need for blood transfusion has proved to be the norm. This study confirmed an average in-hospital stay of 2 nights after complex orthognathic surgery without need for readmission.

Abstract
Background Patients undergoing orthognathic procedures can require blood transfusions. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the predictors of intra-operative blood loss in patients undergoing orthognathic procedures and the transfusion rates and practices of our institution. Materials and methods This retrospective study included 92 patients who underwent the following four types of orthognathic procedures: Group 1, bimaxillary; Group 2, bimaxillary with bone grafts; Group 3, LeFort I osteotomies; and Group 4, LeFort I osteotomies with bone grafts. The intra-operative blood loss, operative time, age, gender and pre- and post-operative HGB and HCT were assessed. Results The mean blood loss for all groups was 650 ± 397.8 mL, and there were differences in blood loss between the four groups (p = 0.211). The mean operative time was 5 hours and 32 minutes. There were no differences in intra-operative blood loss between the genders or the BMI categories. The operative time was moderately correlated with the intra-operative blood loss (p < 0.001, r =0.332). Eighteen of the 92 patients (19.5%) received blood transfusions. The mean intra-operative blood loss was higher among the patients who received transfusions (p < 0.001). Conclusions The only predictor of intra-operative blood loss was operative time. The observed transfusion rate was higher than those that have been reported for similar procedures; thus, our institution needs to revisit our transfusion policy and use more time-efficient techniques in the operating room.

Abstract
Procedures for the surgical correction of dentofacial deformities may produce important complications, whether due to the potential for vascular injury or to prolonged surgery, both of which may lead to severe blood loss. Fluid replacement with crystalloid, colloid, or even blood products may be required. The aim of this study was to assess blood loss and transfusion requirements in 45 patients (18 males and 27 females; mean age 29.29 years, range 16-52 years) undergoing orthognathic surgery, assigned to one of two groups according to procedure type-rapid maxillary expansion or double-jaw orthognathic surgery. Preoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit levels and intraoperative blood loss were measured. There was a substantial individual variation in pre- and postoperative hemoglobin values (10.3-17 and 8.8-15.4 g/dL, respectively; p < 0.05). Mean hematocrit values were 41.53 % preoperatively (range 31.3-50.0 %) and 36.56 % postoperatively (range 25-43.8 %) (p < 0.05). Mean blood loss was 274.60 mL (range 45-855 mL). Only two patients required blood transfusion. Although blood loss and transfusion requirements were minimal in the present study, surgical teams should monitor the duration of surgery and follow meticulous protocols to minimize the risks.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: The number of patients undergoing mandibuloplasty in East Asia has increased in recent years. Angle resection, corticectomy, and tubercle excisions are the most commonly used methods of mandibuloplasty. However, no data are available on complications following mandibuloplasty. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and significance of intra- and postoperative complications associated with mandibuloplasty. Methods: A total of 588 Korean patients (99 men, 489 women; age range, 19–62 years) who underwent mandibuloplasty (performed by a single surgeon in the same clinic) were divided into 4 groups: group I, angle resection (190); group II, angle resection and genioplasty, including tubercle excision (130); group III, angle resection and zygoma reduction (114); and group IV, angle resection, genioplasty, and zygoma reduction (154). The average follow-up period was 14 weeks. Results: The most common complication was numbness. Of 38 patients (6.46%) with sensory deficits, 16 (2.72%), 11 (1.87%), and 11 (1.87%) patients reported these changes around the chin, lower lip, and intraoral incision areas at postoperative 6 months and 3, 1, and 5 patients reported these changes at postoperative 1 year, respectively. Infection occurred in 19 patients (3.23%) within 2 weeks and was resolved with IV antibiotics in 1–2 weeks in 17 patients but was unresolved in 2 after 3 months. Hemifacial palsy, intraoperative bleeding requiring transfusion, and hardness and burning sensation were also noted in 1 patient. Conclusions: Surgeons must be aware of the complications of mandibuloplasty and their occurrence rates.

Abstract
PURPOSE To define factors that influence blood loss in bimaxillary osteotomies and the need for blood preparation at the Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively studied 208 patients who underwent bimaxillary osteotomies during 2005 to 2009. Possible factors for intraoperative blood loss such as age, body weight, gender, operative time, experience of the surgeons, and different operative procedures were statistically analyzed. RESULTS Female patients had a significantly higher percentage of blood loss from allowable blood loss than male patients (P = .006). Experience of the surgeons had a significant influence on blood loss (P = .02) and operative time (P < .001). No significant difference in blood loss was found among the 4 groups classified by operation (P = .852). Simple regression analysis showed a significantly positive correlation between blood loss and duration of operation (R(2) = 0.15, P < .001). There was no correlation between blood loss and patient age (P = .35). CONCLUSION The factors that influence blood loss include patient gender, experience of the surgeon, and operative time. Blood preparation should be considered in women, especially small individuals in whom a long operative time is expected and who are being operated on by an inexperienced surgeon. Because of the low rate of transfusion, a group-and-save policy is appropriate.

Abstract
Induced hypotensive anaesthesia and isovolaemic haemodilution are well-established blood-sparing techniques in major surgery. This prospective study compared them for blood loss, transfusion requirements, and surgical field quality during standardized orthognathic operations. In a surgeon-blinded trial, 60 healthy patients requiring either Le Fort I osteotomy or bimaxillary surgery were randomly allocated to receive normotensive anaesthesia, induced hypotensive anaesthesia, or induced hypotensive anaesthesia combined with isovolaemic haemodilution. Blood loss and haemoglobin level were measured intraoperatively and calculated on postoperative day 3. The surgeons rated surgical field quality. Mean blood loss was 1021.63, 392.38 (p<0.05) and 1191.65ml in the normotensive, hypotensive and haemodilution groups, respectively. Mean haemoglobin level immediately after surgery was 9.3, 10.3, and 7.4g/dl (p<0.05), respectively. No hypotensive group patients received transfusions; four normotensive group patients required allogenic transfusions; seven haemodilution group patients needed autogenous retransfusions (p<0.05). Surgical field quality was significantly better in the hypotensive than in the normotensive (p<0.05) or haemodilution (p<0.05) groups. In orthognathic surgery, hypotensive anaesthesia significantly reduces blood loss and transfusion requirements and minimizes allogenic transfusions risks. Induced hypotensive anaesthesia combined with isovolaemic haemodilution has no additional blood-sparing effects but impairs surgical field quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The authors recently documented a significant decrease in orthognathic surgical cases performed by both plastic and oral surgeons in Ohio over a recent 5-year period. The main reason noted was related to third-party reimbursement. This is a potentially serious issue that may affect the quality of health care for patients with dentofacial deformities. Therefore, an expanded survey was conducted to determine whether this was indicative of a national trend. METHODS A three-page questionnaire was sent nationally to plastic surgeons and oral surgeons who were members of the American Society of Maxillofacial Surgery and the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, respectively. Surveys requested information regarding changes in the number of orthognathic operations over a 5-year period (1999-2003) and reasons for these changes. RESULTS Of the 3273 surveys sent, 883 were returned, representing an overall response rate of 27 percent. Of the 883 returned, 771 (87.3 percent) were completed by oral surgeons and 112 (12.7 percent) were completed by plastic surgeons. The majority surveyed (70.0 percent) noted a decrease in the number of orthognathic procedures performed over a 5-year period, and 443 (77.3 percent) stated that the decrease was attributable to problems with insurance. Professional reimbursement per hour was calculated based on data collected from consecutive operations performed at the authors' institution. These data demonstrated that reimbursement per hour is significantly lower when orthognathic surgery procedures were compared with other standard plastic surgery operations. CONCLUSIONS Orthognathic surgery may rapidly be becoming a cosmetic procedure. This has the potential of creating a two-tier system whereby only those who can afford it will undergo orthognathic correction.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to review the blood replacement practices in a consecutive series of a single surgeon's experience whose patients all underwent, at a minimum, simultaneous Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy, bilateral sagittal split osteotomies of the mandible, septoplasty, and inferior turbinate reduction procedures. PATIENTS AND METHODS A consecutive series of a single surgeon's patients who met inclusion criteria of (n = 34) during a 5-month time frame were included. Records included office charts, hospital records, and data stored at the Red Cross (hospital) blood bank. RESULTS A total of 76% (26/34) of the study patients chose to auto donate [corrected].. Only 2 of the study patients underwent blood transfusion (6%). One of the transfused patients received 1 unit of auto-donated blood, whereas the other transfused patient received a unit of homologous packed red blood cells. Based on the total units of blood predonated, 97% (28/29) of stored units were discarded. CONCLUSION Only a small percentage (6%) of individuals undergoing complex orthognathic and intranasal surgery received blood replacement. We believe that close collaboration between the surgical and anesthesia teams and the recovery of patients in a safely monitored environment will continue to reduce the need for transfusion in the orthognathic patient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder in adults, however it also occurs in neonates with severe mandibular hypoplasia. The clinical significance of OSA results from hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation due to a collapse of the upper airway. Recently OSA has received much attention due to its potentially serious consequences on cardiac function. Besides daytime sleepiness and fatigue life expectancy is significantly shortened by a higher risk for apoplectic insults and heart failures. This paper reviews common surgical procedures with an emphasis on jaw advancement procedures. MATERIAL AND METHODS In six adults (mean age 46,9 ys; 2 female, 4 male; BMI averaged 28kg/m(2)) suffering from OSA with a history of a long-lasting unsuccessful continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy a bimaxillary advancement was performed. The respiratory disturbance was preoperatively evaluated by polysomnography; daytime sleepiness was recorded according to the 'Epworth Sleepiness Scale'. Controls were performed six months after therapy. All patients had a regular intermaxillary relation. Bimaxillary advancement was planned and performed according to the principles of cranio-maxillofacial corrective surgery. To widen the posterior airway space much attention was focused on the advancement of the mandible by 10mm. RESULTS The apnea/hypopnea index decreased from preoperatively 37/h to 4/h after treatment. The minimal peripheral oxygen saturation increased from 78% to 89%, whereas the average oxygen saturation raised from 92 to 95%. The arousal index decreased from 24/h to 9/h. Periods of snoring were reduced from 29,5% to 6,9%. According to the 'Epworth Sleepiness Scale' the patients' estimation improved from a level of 11 to 4. Sleep had a recuperating effect. All surgical procedures were uneventful. CONCLUSION Standard treatment of OSA is the CPAP-therapy. In some patients, however, CPAP-therapy cannot be applied, fails or is not well accepted. A great variety of surgical procedures for the treatment of OSA have been described. Bimaxillary advancement in adults and osteodistraction in neonates are safe and successful surgical techniques for an immediate improvement in OSA. Osteodistraction treatment can help to avoid tracheotomy in neonates.
