ABSTRACT

Reportar la prevalencia de complicaciones en pacientes sometidos a cirugía de terceros molares, en el servicio maxilofacial del Hospital Base de Valdivia, Chile entre los años 2007 y 2010. Se realizó un estudio observacional de tipo transversal. Se revisaron registros clínicos de pacientes atendidos entre el 1 de enero del año 2007 y el 30 de diciembre del año 2010. Se consideraron como criterios de inclusión los pacientes que se hayan realizado una o más cirugía de terceros molares en el Hospital Base de Valdivia, pacientes que no hayan presentado alguna patología sistémica de base que aumente el riesgo de complicaciones. Se excluyeron los registros clínicos ilegibles y los que no presentaran la hoja de protocolo quirúrgico o evolución posterior a la cirugía. Durante el período se atendieron 777 pacientes para cirugía de terceros molares. Para el análisis se consideraron 679 pacientes, de los cuales 75 (11%) presentaron alguna complicación. La proporción hombre mujer fue de 1:1,67. Las complicaciones más frecuentes fueron edema (5,7%), seguido de dolor (3,5%) y alveolitis (2,4%). Estas tres complicaciones comprenden el 80% de todas las complicaciones reportadas. Las complicaciones menos usuales fueron hemorragia postoperatoria y flegmon. La prevalencia de complicaciones en cirugía hospitalaria de terceros molares es de 11%. Esta prevalencia es similar a las reportadas en otros países. Edema, dolor y alveolitis explican el mayor porcentaje de complicaciones, por lo que se deberían tener en consideración al momento de realizar este procedimiento quirúrgico


The objective of the present study was to report on the prevalence of complications in patients undergoing third molar surgery in the maxillofacial service at the Base Hospital in Valdivia, Chile between 2007 and 2010. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted and clinical records of patients treated between January 1, 2007 and December 30, 2010 were reviewed. Patients who had undergone one or more third molar surgery in the Base Hospital of Valdivia, patients who had not presented any systemic underlying condition that increased the risk of complications were considered as inclusion criteria. Illegible medical records were excluded as were those cases that did not include postsurgical evolution records. Of the 777 patients treated for third molar surgery, 679 patients were considered for analysis, of this group 75 patients 11 % had complications. The male / female ratio was 1:1.67. The most frequent complications were edema 5.7% followed by pain, 3.5% and alveolitis 2.4%. These complications comprise 80 % of all complications reported. Less common complications were postoperative bleeding and phlegmon. The prevalence of hospital complications in third molar surgery is 11%. This prevalence is similar to that reported in other countries. The most frequent complications reported were edema, pain and alveolitis. Therefore, this information should be taken into consideration when performing this surgical procedure
