Cancelled operations. A current problem in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Public concern has recently focused on the problem of cancelled operations. In order to investigate the extent of oral and maxillofacial surgery cancellations, the University of Manchester initiated a 12-month prospective audit of lost operating time. During 1990, 31% of planned operations were cancelled, while nearly 20% of operating lists were lost completely. With the exception of public holidays and theatre maintenance days, the commonest reasons for cancellation included financial cut-backs, nursing staff shortages and failure of patients to attend.

Experience of the osteoplastic material Osteoplast-K use for surgical interventions on parodontal tissues

Information of the composition and properties of osteoplastic material based on sulphated glycosammoglykans (Osteoplast-K) is given, results of the material use in cases of surgical interventions on parodontium are presented.     

Experimental use of a pulsed CO2 laser in bone and osteoplastic operations on the maxillofacial area

Weak efficiency of laser incisors in bone surgery is primarily connected to a lack in the optimization of laser beam parameters in the above conditions. Experimental data are presented in which bone specimens were sectioned using a beam of a pulsed of continuous CO2 laser. Pulsed irradiation had some advantages over the continuous one in that the marginal necrotic zone of the incision was substantially reduced. The perspectives of the pulsed CO2 laser in maxillofacial surgery are outlined as related to bone and osteoplastic interventions.     

Experience with the use of UV irradiation of autologous blood in oral surgery

Autotransfusions of UV irradiated blood were used in the treatment of 20 patients with grave pyoinflammatory maxillofacial diseases. 54 sessions were carried out, that resulted in a manifest clinical effect. The results evidence that this method may be effectively used as the main treatment modality in the management of recurrent furunculosis of the face.

Hemostasis in oral surgery

The control of hemorrhage is a key component for the clinician to understand before performing oral surgical procedures. Hemostasis may be obtained primarily by local hemostatic measures. If hemostasis is not achieved with this modality, various hemostatic agents exist, which may be used as adjuncts to obtain hemostasis. Preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative methodologies toward hemostasis in oral surgery have been presented.
