A retrospective clinical study was performed regarding the minimally invasive-guided genioplasty technique (MIGG technique) described in a previous clinical note. The aims of this clinical study were to study the incidence of immediate complications with this technique compared with a control group using a nonminimally genioplasty technique, to validate the accuracy of the three-dimensional (3D) printed cutting guide, and to evaluate the duration of the surgery and the satisfaction of the surgeons with this technique.
