PRINCIPLES OF SURGERY

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
Principles of Incision
1. Use a sharp blade with proper shape and
size.
2. Long firm continuous stroke
3. Avoid cutting vital structures when incising
4. Blade should be held perpendicular to the
epithelial surface
5. Placed incision lines on areas with sound
bone support

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
Surgical Flap
“Surgical flaps are made to gain
access to an area or to move
tissue from one place to
another.”

A section of soft tissue that:


1. Outlined by a surgical Incision
2. Adequate Blood supply
3. Allow Access to underlying tissue
4. can be Repositioned
5. Can be maintained by Sutures

Prevention of Flap Necrosis
1. Wider base than free margin. Free margin can be
wider if a major artery is present in the base.
► Flap should have sides that either run parallel to each
other or converge from the base to the apex.
2. The length of the flap should be no more than twice
the width of the base.
► In the oral cavity the length of the flap should never
exceed the width
3. An axial blood supply should be included in the base
of the flap.
4. The base of the flap should not be excessively
twisted, stretched or grasped with anything that might
TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
damage vessels. REPRODUCE
Flap Dehiscence

Prevention:
1. Approximate the edges of the flap over healthy bone
2. Gentle handling of flap edges
3. No tension flaps

“Dehiscence exposes the underlying bone, producing pain,


bone loss and increased scarring.”

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
Prevention of Flap Tearing
1. Create a flap that is large
enough to allow sufficient access
on the area of surgery
► Common mistake: creating a
conservatively small flap thinking
it would be less traumatic
► a properly cut long incision heals
as quickly as a short one.

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
Tissue Handling
1. NO excessive pulling or crushing, YES
extremes of temperature, 1. Delicately hold tissue
desiccation 2. Moistened and cover with damp
2. NO use of unphysiologic chemicals sponge
which can easily damage tissue.
3. NO tight pinching by tissue forcep
4. NO aggressively retraction to gain
greater surgical access.

Types of Flap Design

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
1. Envelop flap

- incision begins lingual to the


oblique ridge and extends
approximately 15-20 mm to the
distolingual aspect of the
mandibular second molar.
- It continue buccally around
the neck of the second molar to
the interproximal space
between the first and second
molars
- The incision can be extended
TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
for more access if necessary. REPRODUCE
2. Triangular Flap

- identical to the envelop but has an


additional vertical incision which
extends downward approximately
10mm towards the mucobuccal fold

 Blade used: Barb Parker No. 15

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
 Envelop flap is most commonly
used flap for removal of maxillary
impacted teeth
 When soft tissue is reflected,
bone overlying 3rd molar is easily
visualized

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
 If tooth is deeply impacted, a
releasing incision can be used to
gain greater access
 When 3-cornered flap is
reflected, the bones more apical
portions become more visible

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
Principles of Flap Design:

1. sharp sterile blade


2. single stroke straight to bone
3. reverse bevel technique around the neck of the teeth
4. use molt no. 4 to reflect the flap
5. push stroke is used for further reflection of the flap
6. full thickness of the mucoperiosteum should be reflected
7. flap is held back by a Minnesota retractor placed lightly against the
bone with little pressure gainst the flap

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
2. Bone Reduction / Removal

Principles:
1. Reduction with continuous flow of water
2. Intermittent reduction
3. Avoid hitting soft tissue or/and the flap
4. The less the bone reduction the less traumatic
5. Expose the greatest convexity of the tooth

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
3. Tooth Sectioning

Rationale:
1. Be able to retrieve the impacted out through a small opening.
2. To minimize the amount of necessary bone reduction lessening post-
op pin and swelling
3. Less chance of damage to adjacent tooth.
4. Risk of fracture to the jaw is reduced.
4. Danger of injury to the inferior alveolar nerve is lessened

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
4. Use of Elevators

 Use adjacent bone as fulcrum


 Only a considerate amount of force is used with the
elevators in an attempt to remove the impacted teeth.
 An excessive amount of force may lead to fracture of either
the impacted tooth, the adjacent or the mandible.

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
5. Irrigation, debridement and proper closure

 Edges of the socket are smoothened either by rotary instrument, curette


or files.
 Bone fragments are lifted from the wound with a small curette.
 Soft tissue remnants in the socket are removed carefully by means of
sharp or blunt dissection.
 Avoid heavy curettage in the depths of the wound where the inferior
alveolar nerve and vessels lie.
 The wound is thoroughly cleansed with the irrigating solutions
 The mucoperiosteal flap is then re-approximated with sutures.

Postoperative Instructions

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
1. Rest

 Avoid strenuous activities for 12 hours. This provide the


least microtrauma. thereby minimizes bleeding
complications.
 On supine position the head should be elevated on
several pillows to lessen hydrostatic pressure which can
induce bleeding.

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
2. Diet

 It is important to drink a large volume of fluid.


 Do not drink through a straw because it may induce
bleeding
 Eat regular meals as soon as possible after surgery.
 Cold, soft food maybe the most comfortable for the first
day

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
3. Bleeding

 Bite firmly on a gauze pack that has been placed on the


surgical site for an hour or so and gently remove it
afterwards.
 Do not smoke for at least the first 12 hours because it will
promote bleeding and interfere with healing.

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
4. Oral Hygine

 do not rinse the mouth or brush the teeth for the first 8
hours after surgery
 after the 1st 8 hours rinse gently with warm salt water (1/2
tsp. Salt in 8 oz of warm water) every 4 hours
 brush your teeth gently but avoid the area of surgery

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
5. Swelling

 swelling after surgery is a normal body reaction. It


reaches its maximum about 48 hours after surgery and
usually last 4 – 6 days
 applying ice packs over the area of surgery for the first 12
hours help control swelling and may help allow the area
to be a little more comfortable

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
6. Stiffness

 after surgery the patient would experience jaw muscle


stiffness and limited opening of the mouth. This is normal
and would improve in 5 – 10 days

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
7. Bruising

 patient may experience some mild bruising in the area of


surgery. This is a normal response in some person and
should not be a cause for alarm. It will disappear in 7 – 14
days

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
8. Medications

 Analgesic
- some discomfort is normal after surgery. Take the
analgesic with a whole glass of water and with a small
amount of food if the drug causes nausea
 Antibiotics
- not an SOP in odontectomy cases. To be given only when
necessary.

TOPRANK-HISUBIDOJR DO NOT
REPRODUCE
Postoperative Follow-up

 Irrigation
- vigorous oral rinse to debride the operative site
 Suture removal
- should be removed 5 – 7 days after surgery
 too early removal = wound to open up again.
 delayed removal = may cause suture tract infection

Principles in incisional biopsy
1. Get tissue in an area that shows complete
tissue changes.
2. Necrotic tissue should be avoided because
they are useless in diagnosis.
3. Material taken from the edge of the lesion to
include some normal tissue
4. Representative area of the lesion is cut in a
wedge fashion.
5. Take deep and narrow biopsy rather than a
broad shallow one. Superficial changes are
quite different form deeper ones.

3. Elliptical incision around the
lesion. The margins should at
least be 5 mm from the lesion in
