Background: Orthognathic surgery is an elective procedure performed to achieve functional and aesthetic occlusal outcomes. An enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol is widely used in surgical specialties to improve patient outcomes and decrease recovery time. Several studies have explored and demonstrated its benefit in orthognathic surgery. The primary outcome measures are post-operative opioid consumption and episodes of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV). We analyzed the current perioperative regimen and recommend an ERAS protocol to achieve the desired perioperative goals.
