Does Le Fort I Osteotomy Have an Influence on Nasal Cavity and Septum Deviation?

The amount of septal deviation observed after surgery.

It may depend on the direction and magnitude of the

movement of the jaw during the osteotomy LI. In consecuense,

Previous studies revealed that the direction and method

movement of maxillary osteotomies influenced by LI

the nasal area and the nasal septum. [23] Another reason for

septal deviation after osteotomies L1 is dislocated by a

partially deflated cuff during extubation [24] e Ibrahim

et al.

[10] offered submental endotracheal intubation

technique (in which the endotracheal tube is placed

directly under the chin) To prevent damage to the nasal septum.

further, This technique provides the surgeon

with a clear view of the surgical field, It allows easy

display occlusal edges, dental midlines, superior

height of the lip and has no effect on any bone structure. That

It also allows concurrent rhinoplasty and offers a

access to the nasal septum.

Additionally, this technique provides the surgeon with a clear view of the surgical field, enables easy visualization of occlusal cants, dental midlines, upper lip height and has no effect to any bony structure. It also allows concurrent rhinoplasty and offers an inferior access to the nasal septum
