The aim of this study was to develop and validate a simplified scoring system for predicting excessive intraoperative blood loss (IBL) during orthognathic surgery. This retrospective cohort study included 361 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery. Factors related to excessive IBL were analysed. The candidate predictors for excessive IBL were determined by logistic regression analysis. The performance of the model was assessed through its discrimination ability and a calibration plot. Internal validation was done by bootstrap resampling technique. The regression coefficients were transformed into a scoring system. Excessive IBL occurred in 32.7% of patients (118/361). The predictive scoring system included three predictors: body mass index (score 0, 1.5, 2: overweight, normal weight, underweight), systolic blood pressure (score 0, 1: <130, ≥130 mmHg), and operative time (score 0, 2.5: ≤4, >4 h). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for discrimination ability was 0.828 (internal validation: C-statistic 0.812). Risk was then classified as low (0-2.5 points) or high (3-5.5 points). The prognostic ability of this simplified scoring system was found to be clinically acceptable for predicting excessive IBL during orthognathic surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":94053,"journal":{"name":"International journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144228068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While free-tissue transfer is a favoured reconstructive approach, it may be contraindicated in the medically comorbid and failure may be catastrophic, resulting in significant morbidity. In such cases, zygomatic implant-retained prosthetic obturators provide an effective alternative. However, traditional zygomatic implant placement often requires the elevation of large full-thickness mucoperiosteal flaps, risking osteoradionecrosis in irradiated bone following postoperative radiotherapy. This technical note describes a novel method for fully guided, flapless zygomatic implant placement that was applied in a 74-year-old with a Brown Class IId maxillary defect following hemi-maxillectomy of a pT4aN0M0 right maxillary squamous cell carcinoma. Using virtual surgical planning, two zygomatic implants were placed utilizing 3D-printed tissue-borne drill guides based on the patient's obturator. These guides were designed with low tolerance flutes to minimize angular deviation and utilized hard and soft tissue undercuts to ensure stability. By using a flapless technique, trauma to the irradiated tissues was minimized, whilst achieving accurate zygomatic implant placement. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach between the surgical, prosthetic, and engineering teams. Further studies are needed to validate the accuracy and predictability of this innovative approach.</p>","PeriodicalId":94053,"journal":{"name":"International journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144145251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
