ABSTRACT
A challenging aspect of Le Fort I osteotomy is bleeding control. Osteotomy techniques, devices, drugs, and anesthetic management have been reported to reduce bleeding; however, there are no reports on the use of hemostatic agents. We aimed to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy of a new topical absorbent hemostatic agent, Surgicel Powder, consisting of oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC). We reviewed the records of 40 patients who underwent Le Fort I surgery for jaw deformities, with or without cleft lip and palate. Twenty of the 40 patients did not have cleft lips or cleft palates (CLCP); the remaining 20 had CLCP. In each group, an absorbent hemostatic agent was used in 10 patients but not in the other 10. Total blood loss and operative time for each group were evaluated. In the jaw deformity without CLCP group, the amount of bleeding with or without ORC was 112.0±33.8 and 158.6±75.3 mL, respectively, with a significant difference between groups ( P <0.05). Operative time with or without ORC was 206.4±31.3 and 238.3±42.5 minutes, respectively, with a significant difference observed between groups ( P <0.05). In the jaw deformity with CLCP group, the amount of bleeding with or without ORC was 199.7±64.6 and 476.8±104.8 mL, respectively, with a significant difference between groups ( P <0.05). Operative time with or without ORC was 213.7±27.6 and 220.8±41.5 minutes, respectively, with no significant difference between groups ( P =0.329). In conclusion, oxidized regenerated cellulose powder may be a beneficial hemostatic agent for reducing blood loss during Le Fort I osteotomy.
