Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the complications associated with miniplates in patients who underwent orthognathic surgery, in the long-term follow-up period. Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent orthognathic surgery between 2004-2017 were included in this study. The reason for miniplate removal, the region where miniplate removal was performed, the time between orthognathic surgery and miniplate removal, and the improvement in signs and symptoms after miniplate removal were evaluated. Results: A total of 19 miniplate removal procedures were performed in 11 (15.7%) of the 70 patients included in the study. The mean follow-up period was 7.65 + 2.81 (3.5-15.3 years) years. The mean time between orthognathic surgery and miniplate removal procedure was 1.52 years. The reasons for miniplate removal were infection (45.5%), cold sensitivity (18.2%), palpable plate (9%), planning another surgery to the region where the miniplate was located (18.2%), and patient request (9%). A total of 13 (11.6%) miniplates were removed from the mandible; 6 miniplates (3.06%) were removed from the maxilla. None of the miniplates located on the chin was removed. The rate of miniplate removal from the mandible due to infection was found as 69%, and the rate of miniplate removal from the maxilla due to infection was 16.6% (p <0.05). 3 miniplates (50%) were removed from the maxilla for sinus lifting and rhinoplasty. On the other hand, no miniplate was removed neither from the mandible nor the chin for another surgery (p <0.05). Conclusion: It was observed that the prevalence of miniplate removal was 15.7% in patients who underwent orthognathic surgery in our clinic for a period of 13 years. Complications associated with miniplate developed 1.5 years after orthognathic surgery, and no complication was observed in the period 5 years after the operations.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı ortognatik cerrahi uygulanmış hastalarda miniplak ile ilişkili gelişen komplikasyonların uzun dönemli takip sürecince değerlendirilmesidir. Materyal ve Metod: Araştırmaya 2004-2017 yılları arasında ortognatik cerrahi uygulanmış hastalar dahil edilmiştir. Miniplak söküm nedeni, miniplak sökümü uygulanan bölge, ortognatik cerrahi ile miniplak söküm işlemi arasında geçen süre ve miniplak sökümü sonrasında bulgu ve semptomlarda iyileşme durumu değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmaya dahil edilen 70 hastanın 11’inde (%15,7) toplam 19 adet miniplak söküm işlemi uygulanmıştır. Ortalama takip süresi 7,65+2,81 (3,5-15,3 yıl) yıl olup; ortognatik cerrahi ile miniplak çıkartılma işlemleri arasında geçen süre ortalama 1.52 yıldır (4 ay-6 yıl). Miniplak söküm nedenleri enfeksiyon (%45,5), soğuk hassasiyeti (%18,2), miniplağın palpe edilebilir hale gelerek hastada rahatsızlık oluşturması (%9), miniplağın bulunduğu bölgeye başka bir cerrahi uygulama yapılacak olması (%18,2) ve hasta isteği olarak sıralanabilir (%9). Toplam 13 adet (%11,6) miniplak mandibuladan çıkartılmış; 6 adet (%3,06) miniplak ise maksilladan çıkartılmıştır. Çene ucunda miniplak söküm işlemi uygulanmamıştır. Enfeksiyon nedeniyle mandibuladan miniplak sökülme oranının %69, maksilladan miniplak sökülme oranının ise %16,6 olduğu görülmüştür (p<0,05). Miniplak bulunan bölgeye uygulanacak başka bir cerrahi işlem nedeniyle maksilladan toplam 3 adet (%50) miniplak sökülmüş, mandibulada ve çene ucunda ise bu nedenle miniplak söküm işlemi uygulanmamıştır (p<0,05). Sonuç: Kliniğimizde 13 yıllık bir süreçte ortognatik cerrahi uygulanmış hastalarda miniplak söküm prevelansının %15,7 olduğu görülmüştür. Miniplak ile ilişkili komplikasyonlar ortognatik cerrahiden ortalama 1,5 yıl sonra gelişmiş, postoperatif 5. yıldan sonra miniplaklar ile ilişkili herhangi bir komplikasyon görülmemiştir.
