Orthognathic surgery is complex and has specific postoperative complications. Perioperative anesthesia management is challenging, and there are few related studies.

It introduces the indications, methods, and features of orthognathic surgery and summarizes preoperative evaluation, anesthesia management, anesthetic drugs, and complication prevention.
