[Nursing cooperation on circulation restore during microvascular submandibular gland transfer]

Area of Science:

• Microsurgery
• Vascular Surgery
• Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

• Microvascular submandibular gland transfer is a complex surgical procedure.
• Ensuring adequate circulation to the transferred gland is critical for its survival and function.

Purpose of the Study:

• To summarize cooperative measures for circulation restoration during microvascular submandibular gland transfer.
• To identify key nursing interventions for preventing vascular crisis and ensuring successful outcomes.

Main Methods:

• Retrospective analysis of 56 microvascular submandibular gland transfer cases.
• Data collection focused on operative and postoperative measures for circulation support.

Main Results:

• All 56 cases achieved satisfactory circulation restoration post-operation.
• Thrombosis occurred in 7 cases, requiring secondary surgery, with 6 glands successfully salvaged.
• The overall successful transfer rate was 98.21%.

Conclusions:

• Successful circulation restore is paramount in microvascular submandibular gland transfer.
• Preventing vascular crisis through meticulous nursing care is essential.
• Specific measures like wet packing, warm saline fomentation, and vigilant postoperative monitoring improve surgical success.
