Comparative Evaluation of Postoperative Pain Following Minimally Invasive Versus Conventional Le Fort I Osteotomy

In this study, we comparation the minimally invasive Le Fort I osteotomy with the conventuals technique regarding the post operative pain. This study is a prospective case-control study including sixteen patients divided into two equal groups: control group underwent conventuals Le Fort I osteotomy, while Study group received a minimally invasive technique. Postoperative pain levels were comparable between groups on D1 and W1; however, the Study Group experienced significantly lower pain at W2, W3, and W4 (P = 0.005, 0.005, and 0.001, respectively). The minimally invasive technique proved more effective in reducing postoperative pain and improving patient comfort than the conventional technique.
