Objective
In orthognathic surgery, it is important to carefully manage peri-operative nutrition
because maxillomandibular fixation and problems such as swelling and pain after surgery
may make it difficult to eat normally and may prevent adequate nutrition. This study
investigated the changes in nutritional status of patients with jaw deformities due
to orthognathic surgery.
Study Design
The subjects were 155 jaw deformity patients, who underwent orthognathic surgery.
The nutritional status was evaluated using anthropometry immediately before and 10
days after surgery and clinical laboratory results and the controlling nutritional
status (CONUT) score before surgery and immediately, 1 week and >6 months after surgery.
We investigated the relationship among the nutritional status, surgical procedures,
and dietary intake in patients who underwent orthognathic surgery.
Results
The surgical procedure time and amount of bleeding were significantly greater as the
surgical procedure became more complex. All of the laboratory values and CONUT scores
were significantly decreased immediately after surgery and then increased over time,
recovering to the same level as before surgery except for serum albumin at >6 months
after surgery.
Conclusions
Nutritional management is considered as one of the key factors for the better and
faster recovery after the orthognathic surgery.
