Background: Surgical site infections (SSI) are a common complication after a cesarean section (C-section) and mainly responsible for increased maternal mortality and morbidity, dissatisfaction of patients, longer hospital stays as well as higher treatment costs. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence rate and risk factors of surgical site infections in women undergoing caesarean section at the University Clinical Center of Kosovo (UCCK), in the Clinic for Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational cohort study involving 325 women who underwent labor and scheduled C-sections from January, 2018 to September, 2018 at the University Clinical Center of Kosovo, Clinic for Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of pathologies linked to impacted third molars in a Kosovar population using panoramic radiographs, as no previous data existed.
- A total of 5,515 patient images were analyzed, revealing that 29.5% showed associated pathologies, with the most common being root resorption of adjacent teeth (23.7%).
- The findings suggest that targeted prevention strategies could be developed to address these pathologies, particularly since root resorption was most prevalent in the maxilla.
Background: The patients that are subjects to oral-surgical interventions produce large amounts of steroids in comparison with healthy patients which are not a subject to any dental intervention. The aim of research was to determine the level of stress hormone cortisol in serum, arterial blood pressure and arterial pulse, and to compare the effectiveness of the usage of lidocaine with adrenalin in comparison with lidocaine without adrenalin during the tooth extraction.
Patients And Methods: This clinical research includes patients with indication of tooth extraction divided in hypertensive and normotensive patients.
