Abstract
Skeletal surgeries, specifically orthognathic procedures are an integral part of the treatment regimen for patients with airway issues. As evaluation mechanisms for, research into, and treatment options for, patients with airway issues have become refined, so have the techniques used to treat them become more focused and less prescriptive. The diagnosis for the severity of the airway compromise has also undergone an evolutionary change, with the diagnostic criteria becoming more restrictive and the equipment for diagnosing them more sophisticated.
