Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate blood loss and blood transfusion rates following major surgeries, including neck dissections and reconstructions, while exploring blood conservation strategies.
- Data was collected from 38 patients, primarily males with oral squamous cell carcinoma, from 2017-2019, showing an average blood loss of 673.5 ml and a significant correlation between surgery duration and blood loss.
- The findings suggest that successful blood conservation methods led to avoiding transfusions in 76.3% of patients, though there's no standardized method for accurately measuring blood loss.
Purpose: The aim was to retrospectively determine the incidence of fungal osteomyelitis and outcome of the surgical protocol and complications.
Materials And Methods: Data were recorded from the medical records of patients treated from 2006 to 2018. Predictor variables were drawn from demographic characteristics (age and gender), etiology, most common site, associated comorbidities involved, and treatment protocol followed.
Introduction: Tracheostomy is commonly used to secure the airway during the immediate postoperative period in maxillofacial oncological operations. We conducted a study to review the utility of elective tracheostomy in head and neck surgery.
Aim: To review the incidence of intraoperative, perioperative and postoperative complications and its management in elective tracheostomy and to analyse its utility in head and neck surgery.
