Study Notes
BSSO Technique Overview
- The first step in the BSSO (Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy) technique involves making an incision in the mucosa of the oral cavity, typically in the vestibule area.
- During the incision, the surgeon exposes the underlying bone and soft tissues, ensuring access for subsequent procedures.
- The purpose of dissection is to carefully separate the soft tissues from the mandible, allowing for clear visualization and access to the bone for the osteotomy.
Surgical Procedures
- Lateral vertical osteotomy is performed on the mandibular ramus, specifically at predetermined locations that facilitate the splitting of the mandible.
- A frequent complication that can occur during the dissection phase is excessive bleeding, which may result from injury to the blood vessels surrounding the surgical site.
