We also recorded surgical time averaged 156 minutes in the mandibular surgery, 207 minutes in mandibular and chin surgery, and 326 minutes in triple orthognathic surgery; anesthetic time was 184 minutes for mandibular surgery, 225 minutes in mandibular and chin surgery, and 358 minutes triple orthognathic surgery; also quantifi ed the need for transfusion (three patients), complications (10 undesirable fractures), and reoperation (10 patients). Today orthognathic surgery is a treatment frequently performed by maxillofacial surgeons in conjunction with the orthodontist, and gives to the patient functional, aesthetic and psychological benefi ts.
