Abstract

Our experience with ambulatory oral and maxillofacial surgery at Kyoto University Hospital is described. From January through December 2000, 42 patients underwent oral and maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia at our day surgery unit. The procedures included exodontia, open and closed reduction of mandibular fractures, TMJ surgery, tumor resection, implant surgery, cystectomy, preprosthetic surgery, and removal of salivary stones. All procedures were safely perfomed without complications. Perioperative and postoperative management, including the use of anesthesia is described and discussed.
