Abstract

Purpose

This study evaluated changes in patient-reported functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial outcomes before and after orthognathic surgery and assessed overall satisfaction among patients treated in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.

Methods

A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery at Dammam Medical Complex, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected through structured telephone interviews using a questionnaire adapted from previously published instruments and translated into Arabic. Paired multi-category outcomes were analyzed using the Stuart-Maxwell test, paired binary outcomes using the McNemar test, and p ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

The sample included 53 females and 47 males, with a mean age of 29.4 ± 5.9 years. Most participants (70%) expected improvement in both aesthetics and chewing function. Overall, 65% reported postoperative improvement in both domains. Significant favorable changes were observed in chewing ability, nasal breathing, facial profile, frontal facial appearance, and smile (all p < 0.001). Self-confidence increased from 50% to 87% (p < 0.001), and 95% said they would recommend surgery to others.

Conclusion

Orthognathic surgery was associated with high patient-reported satisfaction and favorable functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial outcomes in this sample from the Eastern Province.

东部省沙特人口正颌手术后患者满意度：横断面研究

目的：本研究评估了沙特阿拉伯东部省正颌手术前后患者报告的功能、美学和社会心理结果的变化，并评估了接受治疗的患者的总体满意度。方法对沙特阿拉伯达曼医疗中心接受正颌手术的100例患者进行回顾性横断面研究。数据是通过有组织的电话访谈收集的，使用的调查表改编自以前出版的文书并翻译成阿拉伯文。配对多类结果采用Stuart-Maxwell检验，配对二元结果采用McNemar检验，p ≤ 0.05认为有统计学意义。结果女性53例，男性47例，平均年龄29.4 ± 5.9岁。大多数参与者（70%）期望美观和咀嚼功能都有所改善。总体而言，65%的患者报告术后两方面均有改善。在咀嚼能力、鼻腔呼吸、面部轮廓、正面面部外观和微笑方面观察到显著的有利变化（p均为 <； 0.001）。自信从50%增加到87% (p <； 0.001)，95%的人说他们会向别人推荐手术。结论：在东部省份的样本中，正颌手术与患者报告的高满意度和良好的功能、美学和社会心理结果相关。
