Abstract
The management of mandibular prognathism was revolutionized by the advent of the of sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) technique as described by Obwegesser and Trauner in 1957. Facial nerve palsy following SSRO is a rare but serious problem. In the event of post-operative facial palsy, careful clinical and neurophysiological investigations such as a nerve condunction test for facial function is mandatory. The authors examined patients with facial palsy following SSRO. Patients recovered after 3~4 months and we had performed clinical examinations with electromyography and nerve conduction tests during follow-up period.
