Abstract
Orthognathic surgery, especially maxillary osteotomy, can cause Eustachian tube dysfunction, though it is mild and transient and requires no intervention in most cases. However, 13% of patients had Eustachian tube dysfunction at the end of the study. These results suggest the importance of careful monitoring middle ear condition in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.
