[The prevention of postoperative nose deformities following bone reconstructive operations on the maxillary complex].

Prevention of postoperative deformation of the nose after bone repair surgery (transposition of the maxillary complex forward) is an important problem. The proposed method for osteotomy of the maxillary complex prevents or minimizes the postoperative deformation of the nasal cartilage after transposition of the maxillary complex. The method was used with good results in 35 patients with upper microretrognathia.
