What are the risks of bone grinding surgery in Shanghai Renji Hospital?

Shanghai Renji Hospital is a well-known general hospital in Shanghai, with advanced equipment and technology, providing first-class medical conditions for bone grinding surgery. However, like all operations, bone grinding surgery also has some potential risks. Before undergoing bone grinding surgery, it is necessary to understand these risks and make wise decisions based on personal circumstances.

1. Infection

Bone grinding is a kind of operation that requires skin incision, so there is a risk of infection. Although the hospital will take a series of protective measures, such as disinfection of surgical instruments, cleaning of operating rooms, etc., it is unrealistic to completely eliminate the possibility of infection. If infection occurs during the operation, it may lead to local or systemic infection, which may be serious or even life-threatening.

In addition, postoperative infection may also occur. During postoperative recovery, patients need to follow the doctor's advice, including cleaning the wound correctly, avoiding touching the wound, avoiding the source of infection, etc., to reduce the risk of infection.

2. Bleeding

There will be some tissue damage and cutting during the operation, so bleeding may occur. Doctors usually take measures to control bleeding, such as suturing blood vessels and using hemostatic drugs. However, the risk of bleeding still exists. Severe bleeding may require reoperation to stop bleeding, or even blood transfusion.

During postoperative recovery, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise and overexertion to prevent further bleeding. In case of continuous bleeding, increased pain and other symptoms, seek medical advice in time.

3. Nerve injury

Bone grinding surgery requires cutting and repairing bones, and nerves adjacent to bones may be damaged. Some major nerves, such as facial nerve and eye motor nerve, may be damaged, resulting in unnatural facial expressions, vision problems, etc. In addition, nerve injuries at other locations may also lead to sensory abnormalities, muscle weakness and other symptoms.

In order to minimize the risk of nerve injury, the doctor will make a detailed preoperative assessment according to the patient's condition and take appropriate surgical plan. Patients also need to inform doctors of their medical history and medication, so that doctors can better judge the risks.

4. Unsatisfactory results

Each patient has different expectations for the shape and appearance of the bone, so the satisfaction of the results will vary. After the bone grinding operation, problems such as asymmetry, obvious scar and abnormal sensation may occur. Although doctors will try their best to meet expectations according to the needs of patients and surgical experience, unsatisfactory results may still occur.

Therefore, before deciding to perform bone grinding surgery, patients need to have sufficient psychological preparation, and communicate with doctors in detail to discuss the purpose of surgery, postoperative effects and other issues. Patients should have a clear understanding of the surgical results to reduce the risk of dissatisfaction.

Summary

As a well-known medical institution, Shanghai Renji Hospital provides bone grinding surgery services. However, bone grinding is not without risks. Infection, bleeding, nerve damage and unsatisfactory results are possible risks. When considering bone grinding surgery, patients should carefully evaluate their personal conditions, fully understand the risks of surgery, and fully discuss and communicate with doctors. Only by clearly understanding the risks of surgery and making wise decisions can the safety and effect of surgery be better guaranteed.
