Objective To evaluate the effect of sensory disturbance after the sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO）on quality of life. Methods From September2004 to September 2005, 21 patients undergoing SSRO were studied by using questionnaires. There were 12 males and 9 females, aging 1927 years(mean 22.6 years).The patients were followed up at 4 weeks and 24 weeks after operation. The subjective questionnaire was completed by patient to evaluate the degree of living quality descending. Results At 4 weeks,19(90.48%) patients’ living quality descended because of postoperative sensory disturbance. Among them, 7(33.33%) patients had severe descending of living quality. The average effecting time of living accounted for total time 26.9%(about 6.5 h/d). At 24 weeks, 12(6316%) patients’ living quality descended because of postoperative sensory disturbance, 7(36.84%) patients could achieve preoperative living quality. The average effecting time of living accounted for total time 15.5%(about 3.7 h/d). Conclusion Most patients have descending of living quality after SSRO because of sensory disturbance. However, this condition can be improved during the followup and more than 1/3 patients canachieve their preoperative living quality.
目的:探讨早期护理干预对颈椎前路手术患者康复的影响。方法:选择颈椎前路手术患者66 例。分为实验组33例和对照组33例,实验组实施系统的早期护理干预活动指导,对照组进行常规护理,比较两组术后卧床时间、住院天数、术后并发症及术后生活质量。结果:实验组卧床时间及住院天数、术后并发症发生率均低于对照组 (Plt;0.05), 生活质量优于对照组 (Plt;0.05)。结论:早期护理干预有利于颈椎前路手术患者术后恢复
