Results of inflammatory and immunological parameters of the oral cavity after cystectomy with different methods of connecting the edges of the operated area

Abstract

To analyze the results of inflammatory and immunological parameters of the oral cavity after cystectomy with different methods of connecting the edges of the operated area. The research was conducted in 87 patients who sought surgical treatment of odontogenic cysts of the jaws. Patients were divided into groups depending on the method of wound closure after surgery. We analyzed the results of laboratory tests (leukocytes, ESR, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-8, NO synthase, MMP-9). Results: The analysis of the effectiveness of using different methods of approximation of the oral mucosa wound on inflammatory and immunological pa rameters showed that when using welding of the edges of the operated area using the EKVZ-300 “Patonmed” apparatus, we get positive results of laboratory indicators of inflammatory markers faster (leukocyte counts are normal on day 30, ESR, IL-1β – on the 14th day, TNF-α – on the 7th day, IL-6, IL-8, NO synthase, MMP-9 – on the 30th day), that is, healing in such patients is faster than in patients with wound closure with classic suture material or laser. Conclusions: When comparing the methods of approximation of postoperative oral mucosa wounds by different methods, based on the results of these inflammatory and immunological parameters, the best results were obtained when using electric welding of tissues. Further research and use of the proposed method will facilitate and shorten the rehabilitation period of patients after surgery.
