Oral surgical procedures under local anaesthesia in day surgery

Abstract

BackgroundThe objective of this study was to analyze gender-stratified data of patients who underwent day surgery in a hospital based on the type of treatment, type of local anaesthesia, and local anaesthesia complications. By learning all these parameters, it is our main goal to find answers to questions such as what we can do in hospital conditions, what we can win, and what operations we can treat.MethodsA retrospective review was performed to assess hospital records of 10,750 dental patients who received oral surgery under local anaesthesia at the Istanbul University Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from August 2013 through June 2016.ResultsPatients mostly received surgery for wisdom teeth, dental implants, or odontogenic cysts or tumours. Men aged 31–40 years (23.66%) and women aged 21–30 years (30.73%) were the largest groups undergoing operations. Surgery for an impacted tooth was the most common ambulatory procedure, accounting for 54.2% of operations. The second most common ambulatory procedure was dental implant surgery (10.2%), followed by root (7.4%), odontogenic cyst (7.2%), and impacted canine surgeries (6.4%). The most common age group receiving surgery was 21–30 years old (3304 patients, 60.75%). Twice as many women as men underwent surgery.ConclusionsDay case surgery is an expanding area of health care and a valuable method of treating patients in many aspects of oral surgical practice. Different medical and dental specialties can benefit from this ambulatory approach to treatment, which also reduces treatment costs.

Transoral surgical approach to solitary fibrous tumors in buccal space with infratemporal tumor extension: A case report

“…A second consideration for facial incision is the location of the muscles and nerves controlling facial expressions (N. VII) which can be traumatized if incision occurs in their proximity. This can result in facial paralysis which not only constitutes a severe cosmetic deformity but can, in addition, have significant functional ramifications (15). The other vital anatomical structure, the parotid gland, may also need to be taken into account.…”

“…Access to the mass was effected through an incision in the buccal mucosa ( Fig. 3B), with care being exercised to avoid the parotid duct, before the fat pad and buccinators were penetrated and the oral cavity entered opposite the second molar (9,15). Since the mass extended as far as the temporal space, this method was more difficult than an extraoral approach which, in this case, could have used a Weber-Ferguson incision designed to avoid further complications, minimize and hide the scar and facilitate the complete removal of the SFT mass in order to prevent a recurrence of the condition.…”

Three-dimensional facial swelling evaluation of pre-operative single-dose of prednisone in third molar surgery: a split-mouth randomized controlled trial

“…Third-molar removal represents one of the most frequent procedures in oral surgery [ 1 ]. Although the complication rate is relatively low and transient, this surgical procedure is related to significant post-operative morbidities [ 2 ].…”

Are Torque-Induced Bone Texture Alterations Related to Early Marginal Jawbone Loss?

“…Presently, the most common procedure in oral surgery after wisdom tooth extraction are dental implants [ 1 ]. With the increasing number of dental implant placements, more and more post-operative complications also occur.…”
