Abstract
A total maxillary osteotomy was performed in adult male rhesus monkeys. The process included using an incision at the mucoperiosteal junction from one maxillary tuberosity to the other. A horizontal supra-nasal osteotomy was performed from the mediolateral aspect of the nasal aperture to the pterygomaxillary suture. Osteotomies were performed between nasal septum and superior surface of maxilla. Postoperative course of all animals was uncomplicated, without signs of infection. Transient ischemia was noticed in the soft tissue incision edges and lasted for two to three days. The osteotomised maxillae stabilised within three weeks postoperatively. Performed on animals, not on humans. It also had a small sample size with one surgical technique. There was no consistency in numbers between the interventional groups and the controls. Some subjects in the group which did not have ligation of greater palatine artery were followed for a longer time.
