[Ambulant anesthesia in a private practice of maxillofacial and plastic surgery. First experiences]. / Ambulante narkose in einer Gemeinschaftspraxis für Kiefer- und plastische Chirurgie. Erste Erfahrungen.

One-day surgery is increasing worldwide. Under general anesthesia in a private practice for maxillo-facial, plastic and reconstructive surgery the spectrum of surgical procedures on outpatients has been enlarged. Several aspects are discussed, including specific anesthesiological problems.

[Treatment results of cheekbone fractures. Follow-up studies of 300 cases]. / Behandlungsergebnisse bei Jochbeinfrakturen. Nachuntersuchungsstudie an 300 Fällen.

Zygomatic bone fractures should be reset as early and as accurately as possible. Osteosynthesis by wiring is usually sufficient if interfragmentary fixation becomes necessary. Any further primary decompression measure at the nerve should be omitted. This will help to avoid severe late sequels at the infraorbital nerve (1.3%). Late resetting as well as late measures to effect decompression are definitely known to have a poor prognosis (300 cases followed up).

[Fractures of the jugal bone -- signs, therapy and late sequelae (A study on 141 cases treated on the basis of a uniform concept) (author's transl)]. / Jochbeinfrakturen -- Symptomatik, Therapie und Spätfolgen. (Eine Studie über 141 nach einheitlicher Konzeption behandelter Fälle).

The article discusses the signs and treatment of fractures of the jugal bone. Basing on 141 patients treated in our clinic, a detailed analysis is given of the problems connected with post-traumatic sinusitis maxillaris, as well as the neurological late sequelae of the n. infraorbitalis. Accurate repositioning and fixation of the fragments are essential; the authors give preference to wire suture. No routine revision of the maxillary sinus and decompression of the nerve are necessary.

[Brain abscess after odontogenic infection]. / Hirnabszess nach dentogenem Infekt.
