  • Descrição: Abstract This systematic review was conducted to evaluate the stability and surgical complications of segmental Le Fort I osteotomy. The search was divided into a main search (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library), grey literature search (Google Scholar), and manual search. Twenty-three studies were included: 14 evaluating stability as the outcome and nine evaluating surgical complications. The level of agreement between the authors was considered excellent (κ = 0.893 for study selection and κ = 0.853 for study eligibility). The segmental Le Fort I osteotomy provides stable outcomes in the sagittal plane, is less stable dentally than skeletally in the transverse plane, and provides little stability in the posterior segment after downward movement. The most frequent complications are oral fistula (six studies) and damage to the adjacent teeth (five studies), but the most prevalent complication is postoperative infection (32.62%). Four studies evaluating stability as the outcome showed a medium potential risk of bias, whereas all studies addressing surgical complications showed a high potential risk of bias. The segmental Le Fort I osteotomy should not be excluded from the technical armamentarium in orthognathic surgery. On the contrary, the literature consulted suggests it to be a useful tool for the three-dimensional surgical correction of maxillary malposition.
