Why isn’t intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) as common as Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO). Are there any benefits to BSSO as compared to IVRO?

@RealSurgerymax
I’m worried about IAN damage during BSSO. Are there any exclusive benefits to IVRO and could I ask the surgeon to do it instead of BSSO when I get Bimax?The advantage of the BSSO is that the sagittal cut allows the sliding mandible to maintain a lot of bone-to-bone contact. That is the beauty of the BSSO
IVRO is more difficult to perform. The distinctive characteristic of this technique is that it maintains the gonial angle in the distal (teeth-bearing) fragment.I’m worried about IAN damage during BSSO.

If the surgeon is willing to perform either, which one should I get?IVRO is more difficult to perform. The distinctive characteristic of this technique is that it maintains the gonial angle in the distal (teeth-bearing) fragment.
