A Questionnaire-based Survey in Consensus Meeting of Jaw Deformity Treatment

Abstract

A questionnaire-based survey of the current status of treatment of jaw deformity was carried out before a consensus meeting for treatment in 2018. The survey consisted of questions concerning treatment planning, preoperative preparation, prophylactic antibiotics, anesthesia, transfusion, orthognathic surgery, posto perative management, and complications. All 36 institutions ans-wered the web-based questionnaire, and the results of the survey were discussed in the consensus meeting. This study revealed the current status of treatment of jaw deformity in Japan. Because the study included only a small number of institutions, a more extensive survey is required to clarify the actual status of treatment of jaw deformity in Japan.
