Objectives: This study evaluated the failure and complication rates of sedation in ambulatory patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study was carried out among 619 patients who had undergone maxillofacial surgical procedures under intravenous sedation with midazolam and fentanyl. Each patient's age, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, systemic condition, surgical procedure, complications, and failures were recorded for evaluation.
Results: A total of 400 patients with ASA I, 199 with ASA II, and 20 with ASA III between the ages of 9 months and 84 years were included in the study. The most common systemic disorders in our patients were mental retardation (35%), hypertension (19%), and epilepsy (15%). Evaluation of the cases revealed 9 complications (1.4%) and 9 sedation failures (1.4%). The complications were bradycardia, postoperative agitation and hallucination, drug reaction, vomiting and nausea, desaturation, and hypotension.
Conclusions: Our results in the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic revealed low complication and failure rates.

Department of Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, USA.
Background: Bilateral risk-reducing mastectomies (RRMs) have been proven to decrease the risk of breast cancer in patients at high risk owing to family history or having pathogenic genetic mutations. However, few resources with consolidated data have detailed the patient experience following surgery. This systematic review features patient-reported outcomes for patients with no breast cancer history in the year after their bilateral RRM.

Oropharyngeal and orthognathic surgeries cause more postoperative pain than simple dental procedures. The lack of detailed pain pattern analysis after dental surgeries makes pain management challenging. We assessed postoperative pain patterns in patients undergoing various dental surgeries, categorized based on changing pain levels, and identified the most frequent surgical procedures within each pain pattern cluster.

Purpose: To analyze dynamic and static changes in the disc-condyle relationship in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion after orthognathic surgery.
Methods: The surgical group comprised 30 patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion, and the magnetic resonance imaging and mandibular movement data were obtained at T0 (preoperatively), T1 (3 months postoperatively), and T2 (at the end of orthodontic treatment). The control group included 20 patients with normal occlusion, and the mandibular movement data were recorded.
