Summary
This study tested a less invasive way to perform jaw surgery (Le Fort I) in 47 adults aged 18-40. The goal was to see if the new method reduces bleeding, swelling, pain, and hospital stay compared to the standard approach. Results suggest the minimally invasive technique may improve recovery without compromising surgical success.
