Abstract
The authors observed no evidence of effect of systemic corticosteroids on the risk of reintubation and hospital length of stay in orthognathic surgery. Although facial edema decrease was observed to be improved with the intervention, adverse effects were inconsistently screened and reported. Thus, the use of systemic steroids in orthognathic surgery is not supported by strong evidence.
