Background of bone grinding surgery
Bone grinding surgery, also known as craniomaxillofacial plastic surgery, is a kind of surgery to improve the skull and facial bone through excision, grinding or implantation. It is mainly used to treat facial deformities, maxillofacial deformities that affect the occlusion function and other diseases. As a hospital with qualifications and experience in craniofacial plastic surgery, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital provides a large number of patients with bone grinding surgery every year.
The bone grinding surgery needs accurate preoperative evaluation, surgical planning and postoperative comprehensive treatment to achieve a satisfactory plastic effect. The specific operation process of bone grinding surgery in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital will be described in detail below.
Preoperative evaluation and surgical planning
Before the operation, the plastic surgery experts of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital will communicate with the patients in detail to understand the specific situation of their facial deformity and the expected plastic effect. At the same time, the doctor will also conduct a comprehensive preoperative evaluation of the patient, including facial CT scanning, X-ray and three-dimensional reconstruction, to ensure the safety and feasibility of the operation.
According to the results of preoperative evaluation, plastic surgery experts will develop a personalized surgical plan. The operation plan includes the operation mode (bone grinding, resection or implantation), operation scope and operation sequence. Doctors will use computer aided design software to combine the results of preoperative evaluation with the expected plastic effect of patients to develop the best surgical plan.
The purpose of preoperative evaluation and surgical planning is to ensure the safety and effectiveness of surgery. By fully understanding the patient's facial structure and expectations, doctors can operate more accurately to achieve the most satisfactory plastic effect.
Operation process
Bone grinding is usually performed under general anesthesia. Before the operation, the doctor will mark the scope of the operation and the location of the incision on the patient's face. Then, the doctor will carry out local disinfection and anesthesia to ensure that the operation process is sterile and painless.
Then, doctors will select appropriate surgical instruments according to the operation plan, such as saw blades, blades and grinding machines. The specific steps of bone grinding surgery depend on the patient's condition, and generally include the following steps:
1. Making incision: The doctor makes an appropriate incision on the face according to the surgical plan for subsequent bone grinding or resection.
2. Bone grinding or resection: doctors use appropriate instruments to grind or resect the skull and facial bones according to the operation plan. Through precise operation, doctors can achieve the purpose of improving facial contour and occlusal function.
3. Plastic and fixation: After bone grinding or resection, the doctor will perform facial plastic surgery to make it more consistent with the desired effect of the patient. After plastic surgery, doctors will use special titanium alloy fixators to fix the surgical site to promote healing and stability.
The operation time is generally between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the difficulty and scope of the operation.
Postoperative comprehensive treatment
After surgery, the patient needs to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time to ensure that the surgical site recovers well. The doctor will regularly check the wound healing, and replace the gauze and remove the suture as needed. Postoperative patients also need to follow the doctor's instructions, such as wearing special masks, carrying out facial physiotherapy and reasonable diet, to promote postoperative recovery.
In addition to comprehensive treatment after surgery, doctors will also conduct regular follow-up after surgery to assess the surgical effect and patient satisfaction. If necessary, doctors can perform fine tuning surgery to further optimize the plastic effect.
