Resumen

CANTO VIDAL, Bernaldo et al. Reconstructive surgery in the Maxillofacial Surgery service. Cienfuegos, 2015-2019. Medisur [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.6, pp. 1130-1137.  Epub 02-Dic-2020. ISSN 1727-897X.

Background:

Reconstructive surgery of the different parts of the face is a challenge for the surgeons who perform it. Despite its current rise, studies of series of patients treated by these procedures are few.

Objective:

to characterize the face repair surgery in patients seen in a repair surgery consulting room.

Methods:

descriptive study, of a series of cases, at the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima Hospital, in Cienfuegos. Patients who received reconstructive surgery of different facial structures, in the period January 2015 to December 2019 (N = 21) attended in the repair surgery consultation were studied. For this series, age, sex, skin color, diagnosis, cause, type of anesthesia and surgical technique were analyzed.

Results:

men and white skin color predominated. The auricle was the most frequently affected structure; consequently, the most commonly used techniques were the Filatov tube and Dieffenbach retroauricular, combined. Local anesthesia was used in almost all cases. The largest age group was 18-35 years (13 patients), with more than 50% of the total. Patients aged 60 and over were affected by lesions derived from carcinomas.

Conclusion:

The series presented shows that reconstructive surgery can solve different health and aesthetic situations, sometimes both in the same patient, with techniques of minimal surgical risk, a short time and favorable results.

Palabras clave : Reconstructive surgical procedures; wounds and injuries.
