Methods: Three patients with benign tumors of jawbones who underwent jawbone resection and simultaneous repair in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Stomatology, Wuhan University in 2022 were selected. Preoperative CT scans of the mandible and ilium were performed on the patients. Virtual surgical planning was made and osteotomy cutting guides were designed and produced. Tumors in two cases were resected through intraoral approach and in one case was resected through extra-oral approach. Iliac crest flap with pedicle was harvested. The facial artery and vein were used as recipient vessels to perform vascular anastomosis with the vascular pedicle of the iliac crest flap to reconstruct and repair the mandibular defect. Follow-up visits were conducted to evaluate the postoperative recovery of patients. Results: All three surgeries were successful. Two patients had no extraoral incision, and one patient had only extra-oral incision because of the primary lesion resection. Patients recovered well postoperatively. The mandibular structure was basically symmetrical and aesthetic. Conclusion: The combination of intraoral anastomosis technology, iliac crest flap, and virtual surgical planning can achieve good postoperative results. Intraoral anastomosis technology can not only reconstruct mandibular lesions after intraoral resection, but also has certain advantages for cases requiring extra-oral approach to resect lesions.

Methods: The study subjects selected 100 patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial tracheostomy at the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from June 2020 to August 2023, and conducted a retrospective analysis of their clinical data. The patients were randomly divided into a group with airbag cannula (47 cases) and a group with airbag cannula and metal cannula (53 cases). Both groups were combined with self-made cannulas. Clinical data, hospitalization time, clinical analysis, treatment methods, pathogenic bacteria of postoperative complications and pneumonia, and relevant factors for pneumonia after gas resection were analyzed. Results: After tracheotomy, the incidence of postoperative pneumonia was 36.00%. Compared with the airbag+metal group, the incidence rate of the airbag group was 2.12% (P<0.001), the incidence of bleeding was 1%, and subcutaneous emphysema was 1%. The airbag group did not experience tube detachment, while the incidence of tube detachment in the airbag+metal group was 20%. All patients did not experience breathing difficulties, difficulty in extubation, or tracheoesophageal fistula. In addition, the results of univariate analysis showed that patients with smoking history, and drinking history had a higher incidence of pneumonia after tracheotomy, which was statistically significant (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis found that the duration of tracheal cannula removal and the type of tracheal cannula were comprehensive risk factors for pneumonia after gas resection (OR=0.021, 95%CI:0.002-0.19, P<0.001). Conclusion: After tracheotomy in oral and maxillofacial patients, the routine use of balloon cannula combined with self-made blockage tube can reduce patient hospitalization time, postoperative complications, and the occurrence of pneumonia.
