Early-stage postoperative depression and anxiety following orthognathic surgery: a cross-sectional study

Postoperative depression and anxiety are common among patients who undergo orthognathic surgery. Moreover, preoperative psychological status and incidence of postoperative adverse events were associated with an increased risk of depression and anxiety after surgery. The results of the present study suggest that careful psychological assessment and appropriate management are necessary to improve patients' recovery following orthognathic surgery.
