Jaw Surgery Workshop: Patient Preparation for Orthognathic Surgery
Document Type
Article
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing orthognathic surgery may have limited information surrounding surgery. This leads to less satisfaction with surgical outcomes, anxiety surrounding surgery and difficulty following perioperative instructions. SOLUTION: Providing a multi-disciplinary pre-operative educational experience for patients and caregivers improves surgical readiness and satisfaction. WHAT IS NEW: Our team provides a "Jaw Surgery Workshop" which includes lectures from providers, previous patients, cookbooks and supplies. This allows for improved confidence and expectations surrounding jaw surgery.
