Second, “Don’t be careless when brushing your teeth”
An 84-year-old A male patient was admitted to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic 20 days after the discovery of the gingival tumor. After admission, he improved related examinations and was diagnosed with “malignant tumor of the floor of the oral cavity”. The lesions were located in the anterior gingival of the mandible and involved the floor of the mouth, invading the mandible, bilateral sublingual glands and the muscles of the floor of the mouth. The general practitioners discussed and agreed that although the patient has a large lesion, surgery is feasible and the tumor can be best controlled by surgery. However, given the patient’s age, the surgery is risky and accident prone. In the face of intraoperative and postoperative cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, organ failure and many unexpected risks, the deputy chief physician and the team made careful preoperative preparations.
During the operation, the deputy chief physician, the minor surgery group, the anesthesia group and the medical staff in the operating room raced against time , cooperated closely, implemented the “deadline” operation for the patient, and successfully completed the operation for the patient in only 3.5 hours.
The postoperative care team carefully developed a perioperative care plan. Under the careful treatment of the doctor and the careful nursing of the nurse, the patient recovered well and got out of bed 3 days after the operation.
