FEATURES OF PREPARING THE ORAL CAVITY FOR AMBULATORY SURGERY IN PREPARATION FOR RECONSTRUCTIVE OPERATIONS ON THE JAWS
Abstract
Literature sources and clinical experience results indicate that patients with skeletal jaw deformities are admitted for inpatient treatment without adequate surgical sanitation of the oral cavity, nose, nasopharyngeal, and oropharyngeal areas. This leads to an increase in the number of inflammatory complications in the postoperative period.
Analysis of our archival materials on the treatment of 35 adult patients with jaw deformities showed that postoperative inflammatory complications were observed in 26% of cases. This also indicates that the duration of inpatient treatment was extended up to 3–4 weeks and that outpatient preparatory measures were not adequately developed based on a complex and interdisciplinary approach.
