- Brief Summary
After the description of Le Fort fractures, maxillary osteotomies are used to correct dentofacial deformities. The profile changes on nasolabial region resulting from a Le Fort I osteotomy, also that affects nasal airway. The Subspinal Le Fort I osteotomy (SLFIO) describe to prevent undesirable soft tissue changes. In the literature, too many articles have reported the effectiveness of SLFIO in preventing nasal deformation. However, there is no study to evaluate the nasal volume or septum deviation.
- Detailed Description
The purpose of this study was objectively and subjectively to compare the effect of Subspinal Le Fort I Osteotomy and Conventional Le Fort I Osteotomy on nasal airway volume and septum deviation without additional modification such as Ans Reduction, Alar Cinch Suture, V-Y closure.
Surgical procedure; Patients were underwent general anesthesia for bimaxillary orthognathic surgery.
The mucoperiosteal flap was raised to expose the bilateral infraorbital foramina, aperture pyriformis, zygomaticomaxillary, and pterygomaxillary buttress. No dissection was performed between the nasal mucosa and the ANS of the patients in Subspinal Le Fort osteotomy group.A triangular osteotomy line was created between the maxilla and the ANS with a piezosurgery. In Conventional osteotomy group, Le Fort I osteotomy was made using a piezosurgical saw after nasal mucosa elevation. In both groups, osteotomes and pterygoid plaques, nasal septum, and lateral nasal walls were separated.
Follow up:
septum deviation and nasal. airway volume value was measured and recorded in the CBCT images taken before the surgery and at the 6th month after the surgery of each patient.

Group Intervention Description Conventional Group Conventional In conventional group, Le Fort I osteotomy was made using a piezosurgical saw after nasal mucosa elevation as usual Le Fort I technique. Subspinal Group Subspinal In Subspinal group, No dissection was performed between the nasal mucosa and the ANS of the patients. Osteotomy was performed in the subspinal Le Fort I group that is described by Mommaerts . A triangular osteotomy line was created between the maxilla and the ANS with a piezosurgery.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Evaluation of Septum Deviation up to six months This angle value was measured and recorded in the CBCT images taken before the surgery and at the 6th month after the surgery of each patient. If the angle in the preoperative view is smaller than the angle in the postoperative view, there is a decrease in septum deviation; If it is large, it was accepted that there was an increase in septum deviation.
Evaluation of Nasal Airway up to six months CBCT scans were scanned for anatomical landmarks to adjust the volume analyzed by automatic segmentation in NemoFAB. Dens endpoint of the axis and nasion were found to be the most consistent at the anterior cranial and posterior caudal borders in the mid-sagittal plane The lateral borders were determined as the most lateral part of the nasal cavity. These markers were used to define the cubic area of interest (ROI), which includes the cranial cavity up to the maxillary base. In the sagittal tomography section, the nasal airway volume was measured in cc on the section taken from the midline.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method nasal obstruction scale evaluation up to six months The patients filled out the form about NOSE scales in the preoperative evaluation period and the postoperative 6th month, and the sum of the score values given for each question in the questionnaire was calculated and the total scores were recorded
