ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of study was to improve the effectiveness of treatment of patients with secondary postoperative lymphedema of the maxillofacial region using lymphotropic therapy. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
During 2020-2021 8 patients aged 40 to 70 years with secondary postoperative lymphedema of the maxillofacial region were treated in the Central Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery. The article presents the clinical and ultrasound results of a study of the effectiveness of the lymphotropic therapy in the treatment of patients with secondary lymphedema of the maxillofacial region.RESULTS:
Six patients with an early stage of lymphedema had a complete regression of edema and normalization of the ultrasound picture of the soft tissues of the maxillofacial region. In 2 patients with late-stage lymphedema there was a regression of edema, but the preservation of residual swelling of soft tissues and signs of fibro-fatty transformation of soft tissues were revealed on ultrasound examination.CONCLUSION:
Lymphotropic therapy with antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory drugs is one of the effective methods of treating postoperative secondary lymphedema of the maxillofacial region at the early stages of the disease.Palabras clave
