Abstract
Purpose: Our study aims to estimate the prevalence of lingual nerve injury following bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO).
Methods: Two reviewers independently conducted a systematic literature search in the Medline and Scopus databases. The pooled prevalence with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was estimated, and quality assessment, outlier analysis, and influential analysis were performed.
Results: In total, eleven eligible studies comprising a total of 1,882 participants were included in this meta-analysis. One study was identified as critically influential. The overall prevalence of lingual sensory impairment was estimated to be as high as 0.1% (95% CI 0.0%-0.6%) with moderate heterogeneity observed between studies.
Conclusion: It is important for healthcare professionals to be aware of this issue, despite the relatively low rate of lingual nerve deficit after BSSO. Additional research will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying factors contributing to lingual nerve injury, leading to improved preventive measures and treatment strategies. Furthermore, insights gained from future studies will enable healthcare professionals to inform patients about the potential complications and manage their expectations before undergoing BSSO.
期刊介绍：
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery founded as Mund-, Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie is a peer-reviewed online journal. It is designed for clinicians as well as researchers.The quarterly journal offers comprehensive coverage of new techniques, important developments and innovative ideas in oral and maxillofacial surgery and interdisciplinary aspects of cranial, facial and oral diseases and their management. The journal publishes papers of the highest scientific merit and widest possible scope on work in oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as supporting specialties. Practice-oriented articles help improve the methods used in oral and maxillofacial surgery.Every aspect of oral and maxillofacial surgery is fully covered through a range of invited review articles, clinical and research articles, technical notes, abstracts, and case reports. Specific topics are: aesthetic facial surgery, clinical pathology, computer-assisted surgery, congenital and craniofacial deformities, dentoalveolar surgery, head and neck oncology, implant dentistry, oral medicine, orthognathic surgery, reconstructive surgery, skull base surgery, TMJ and trauma.Time-limited reviewing and electronic processing allow to publish articles as fast as possible. Accepted articles are rapidly accessible online.Clinical studies submitted for publication have to include a declaration that they have been approved by an ethical committee according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki 1964 (last amendment during the 52nd World Medical Association General Assembly, Edinburgh, Scotland, October 2000). Experimental animal studies have to be carried out according to the principles of laboratory animal care (NIH publication No 86-23, revised 1985).
