title: [Complications and impact of sagittal osteotomy of the ascending ramus. Personal experience].
abstract: Results of a qualitative and non-statistical study of the various accidents and incidents occurring during sagittal osteotomy of the ascending rami are reported. Three types of complication were noted: vascular, nervous and bony. Vascular sequelae in one case are analyzed in greater detail. These accidents occasionally affect the vital prognosis. Stricter attention to certain points in the surgical technique used may avoid all these complications.
