Risk of mandibular angle grinding in Shanghai
Shanghai is one of the developed cities in China, with advanced medical technology and facilities. However, like any other surgery, the mandibular angle grinding surgery in Shanghai also has some risks and complications. It is important for the patient to understand these risks before undergoing surgery.
Risk of temporal nerve function injury
The mandibular angle grinding surgery may cause damage to the temporal nerve, because the mandibular angle bone is located in the path of the temporal nerve. If the temporal nerve is injured, the patient may have facial numbness, pain or muscle weakness. This kind of situation is usually temporary, but in very few cases, it may cause * * nervous function damage.
In order to reduce the risk of temporal nerve injury, doctors will conduct a detailed examination before surgery to understand the patient's neural anatomy. They will try their best to avoid neural structures and reduce the risk of injury to a large extent through careful operation.
In addition, postoperative patients need to pay attention to protecting the face and avoiding external force collision to avoid damage to the temporal nerve.
Risk of postoperative infection
There is a risk of postoperative infection in any surgery, including mandibular angle grinding surgery. Postoperative infection may cause pain, swelling, redness and fever. Severe infections may require additional treatment, such as antibiotics and reoperation.
In order to reduce the risk of postoperative infection, doctors will take strict aseptic operation measures during the operation, including disinfection of the operation area and use of sterile medicine. After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's advice, keep the wound clean, avoid the source of infection, and take antibiotics on time to prevent infection.
Risk of postoperative bleeding and hematoma
Mandibular angle grinding surgery may lead to the risk of postoperative bleeding and hematoma. Postoperative bleeding may cause problems such as wound nonunion, pain and infection. Hematoma refers to swelling caused by blood accumulation at the surgical site, which may lead to facial deformation and pain.
In order to reduce the risk of bleeding and hematoma, the doctor will fully control the bleeding during the operation and give the patient appropriate hemostatic drugs. After surgery, patients need to avoid strenuous activities and forced chewing to reduce wound tension and promote healing.
Risk of facial asymmetry and dysfunction
Mandibular angle grinding surgery may lead to the risk of facial asymmetry and dysfunction. After surgery, the change of mandibular angle may affect the facial contour, leading to the appearance of facial imbalance. In addition, surgery may affect functions such as chewing and speaking.
In order to reduce the risk of facial asymmetry and dysfunction, before surgery, doctors will conduct detailed facial measurements and assessments of patients, and develop practical surgical plans. After surgery, patients need to carry out postoperative rehabilitation training according to the doctor's recommendations to restore facial function and appearance.
To sum up, the risks of mandibular angle grinding surgery in Shanghai mainly include temporal nerve function injury, postoperative infection, postoperative hemorrhage and hematoma, as well as facial asymmetry and dysfunction. However, through strict preoperative evaluation, surgical operation and postoperative management, these risks can be greatly reduced. Before deciding to accept surgery, patients should fully communicate with doctors to understand the risks and possible complications of surgery, so as to make a wise decision.
