- Abstract
- In oral and maxillofacial surgery, tracheostomy is an occasional procedure in patients with inflammatory diseases, neo-plastic diseases, and trauma. Subcutaneous emphysema is one of the complications of tracheostomy, and is consequence of air introduction or other gases into soft tissues. It is not a common complication, but it does occur occasionally. In 3 cases, Subcutaneous emphysema occurred after tracheostomy accompanied by oral and maxillofacial surgery. And it improved in 2, 3, and 13 days after the occurrence. The purpose of this study is to analyze the treatment and results of clinical cases of subcutaneous emphysema after tracheostomy in patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial surgery and use them as indicators of future treatment.
