Abstract:

Objective This study aims to observe the efficacy of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) by continuous negative pressure drainage and saline irrigation in the treatment of oral and maxillofacial space infection. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on 116 cases of maxillofacial space infection, and clinical data were collected to compare the thera-peutic effects of routine incision with drainage treatment (traditional treatment group, 58 cases) and VSD treatment (VSD group, 58 cases). Results The length of hospital stay, white blood cell count, scar length, frequency of dressing change, and pain degree of patients in the VSD group were all lower than those in the traditional treatment group. Moreover, the improvement degree of mouth opening in the VSD groups was better than that in the traditional treatment group (P<0.05). Conclusion VSD is a more effective method for the treatment of oral and maxillofacial space infection.
