简要总结
This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled, and double-blind clinical study designed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the minimally invasive Le Fort I osteotomy (MI-Le Fort I) compared with the conventional Le Fort I osteotomy (Le Fort I) in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.
Patients aged 18 to 40 years, classified as ASA I, will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the MI-Le Fort I group or the Le Fort I group. Intraoperative parameters including blood loss (mL) and operative time (minutes) will be recorded. Postoperative facial swelling will be assessed using three-dimensional stereophotogrammetry, pain intensity will be measured with a visual analog scale (VAS). Additional outcomes will include hospitalization time, early recovery of upper lip sensation assessed by the pinprick test, and pterygomaxillary separation patterns evaluated using postoperative CBCT imaging.
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of the MI-Le Fort I approach with the Le Fort I approach under controlled conditions. The study hypothesizes that the MI-Le Fort I osteotomy improves patient outcomes by minimizing soft tissue trauma without compromising surgical effectiveness.

结局指标
主要结局
Operative Time
时间窗: Intraoperative period (from mucosal incision to final suture placement)
Operative time will be measured in minutes, from the initial mucosal incision to the final suture placement, using a chronometer.
Bleeding
时间窗: Intraoperative period (from mucosal incision to final suture placement)
Bleeding volume will be measured in milliliters from the initial mucosal incision to the final suture placement, using a calibrated aspirator.
Postoperative Edema
时间窗: Postoperative days 1, 7, 14, 30 and 90
The 3dMD imaging system (3dMD, Atlanta, GA, USA) and 3dMD Vultus software were used to evaluate the amount of postoperative edema. Three-dimensional images were taken with the teeth in maximum intercuspation, lips relaxed, and eyes open on postoperative days 1, 7, 14, 30, and 90. Edema was calculated separately for the right and left sides and was recorded as surface area in square centimeters (cm²).
Postoperative Pain
时间窗: Postoperative hours 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12
Postoperative pain was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale for the right and left sides separately. In this scale, '0' meant no pain, and '100' represented maximum pain. Patients were questioned at postoperative 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th hours, and the results were recorded in the patient follow-up form.
次要结局
- Hospitalization(From the end of surgery until hospital discharge (typically within 48 hours))
- Pterygomaxillary Separation Pattern(Postoperative first day)
- Neurosensory Test: Upper Lip Sensation Recovery(Postoperative days 7, 14, and 30)
