Evaluation of the incidence and success of treatment of acute sinusitis following maxillary open sinus lift surgery

Abstract

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of acute sinusitis after maxillary open sinus lift surgery and to evaluate the success rate of the proposed treatment method for acute sinusitis after maxillary open sinus lift surgery. Material and methods: In this study, 59 patients who need sinus lift surgery underwent open sinus lift surgery and patients were discharged after training. Patients were followed up on the third, seventh and eleventh days after the operation and the prevalence of Surgical complications (acute sinusitis and graft infection) were evaluated and patients that had complications entered the treatment phase. They underwent incision and drainage and antibiotic therapy and, if necessary, removal of alloplastic grafts, and after treatment, their treatments success was measured. The statistical report is based on the number of success results of the operation and the incidence of acute sinusitis and the success rate of subsequent treatments. The results will be reported as descriptive statistical indicators. Results: Out of 59 patients (31 men and 28 women and a total of 68 sinus lift surgeries), acute sinusitis graft infection was seen in 3 patients who immediately entered the treatment phase and the success of the treatment was heard so that 2 patients showed improvement in symptoms. And 1 patient required repeat surgery. Other complications occurred during surgery, such as excessive bleeding and perforation of the sinus membrane. No significant relationship was found between intraoperative complications and acute sinusitis. Conclusion: Although sinus lift is considered a safe and reliable procedure, acute sinusitis is a potential complication that must be controlled immediately to reduce the risk of further complications such as pansinusitis, maxillary osteomyelitis, or the spread of infection to the infratemporal or infraorbital spaces. It will be reduced. To minimize the risk, all steps should be done carefully, so as not to destroy the osteoma and interfere with the secretion and clearance of the maxillary sinus.
