“…Several methods to control the immediate inflammatory response associated with head and neck surgery have been described and used, including the use of drugs such as analgesics [1][2][3], corticosteroids [3], antibiotics [4], and proteolytic enzymes [5], laser application [6], or physical therapeutic methods like cryotherapy [7] or manual lymph drainage (MLD) [8]. No single modality of management significantly prevents and/or significantly reduces the occurrence of swelling, pain and trismus without potential undesirable side effects.…”

Introduction Orthognathic surgery involves making several osteotomies that lead to varying degrees of post-operative swelling. The use of KT may be beneficial for postoperative treatment after head and neck surgery, accelerating drainage of tissue reaction or haemorrhages. The goal of this study was to find out if the application of KT prevents or improves swelling, pain and trismus after orthognathic surgery, improving patients' postoperative quality of life. Materials and Methods In this double-blinded, randomized, control trial, 24 patients in whom bimaxillary orthognathic surgery was indicated, were included. Before surgery each patient alternatively was randomly included in the study group (treated with K-Taping Ò and corticosteroid) or in the control group (treated with corticosteroid). In the present study a MakerBot Ò Digitizer 3D TM was used to assess accurate volume measurements. All swelling measurements were expressed as total 3-D area of the landmarks (cm 2 ) in T0 pre-operative, T1 fourth day after surgery. Results The differences T0-T1 are highly significant (p \ 0.01) between group 1 or study group (treated with K-taping Ò ) and group 2 (control group). Discussion The use of KT appears promising, because it is simple to carry out, less traumatic, economical, can be performed everywhere in the world, free from side effects on the body. Even when swelling persists, KT gives patients the impression of a minor swelling detracting them from their pain and morbidity. Further studies have to be performed to find out if KT can reduce or replace the need for additional medications such as the use of steroids.

“…In accordance with prior operational definitions, we defined preoperative prophylaxis as antibiotic therapy received prior to 2 hours before surgery, perioperative prophylaxis as antibiotics administered within 2 hours before surgery to 24 hours after surgery, and postoperative prophylaxis as antibiotic coverage beyond the perioperative window (longer than 24 hours after surgery) . Because several studies reported that prophylaxis was initiated from hospital admission through the perioperative period, but did not specify the length of time prior to surgery, we used an approach similar to Shridharani et al and considered this to be a combination of pre‐ and perioperative prophylaxis . Additionally, if studies explicitly stated that patients received preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis (in addition to perioperative antibiotics), they were placed in the pre‐ + perioperative group .…”

“…In summary, based on these recent 25,27 and previously reviewed studies 26,28,29 from mandibular fractures and contaminated head and neck cases 24 with similar outcomes, antibiotics in excess of those administered during the 24-hour perioperative period for maxillofacial injury do not appear to reduce wound infection (Table 1) and should be discontinued at 24 hours postoperatively.…”

“…27 The authors studied 134 patients and used a protocol of no antibiotics if reduction was performed without plating; oral amoxicillin/clavulanate or cefuroxime or an ampicillin/dicloxacillin combination preoperatively and for two doses postoperatively if extra-oral reduction with plating was required; and the same regimen plus metronidazole if intraoral reduction with plating was required. This approach resulted in a 2% infection rate (higher than the previously quoted 0%), all in the intraoral fixation group.…”

The percentage of combat wounds involving the eyes, maxillofacial, and neck regions reported in the literature is increasing, representing 36% of all combat-related injuries at the start of the Iraq War. Recent meta-analysis of 21st century eye, maxillofacial, and neck injuries described combat injury incidences of 8% to 20% for the face, 2% to 11% for the neck, and 0.5% to 13% for the eye and periocular structures. This article reviews recent data from military and civilian studies to support evidence-based recommendations for the prevention of infections associated with combat-related eye, maxillofacial, and neck injuries. The major emphasis of this review is on recent developments in surgical practice as new antimicrobial studies were not performed. Further studies of bacterial infection epidemiology and postinjury antimicrobial use in combat-related injuries to the eyes, maxillofacial, and neck region are needed to improve evidence-based medicine recommendations. This evidence-based medicine review was produced to support the Guidelines for the Prevention of Infections associated with Combat-related Injuries: 2011 Update contained in this supplement of Journal of Trauma.
