COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT OF INJURIES TO THE TRIGEMINAL NERVE BRANCHES IN FACIAL FRACTURES

Abstract

The proportion of maxillofacial trauma (MPT) has increased in recent years in the structure of general trauma. At the same time, according to the maxillofacial surgery and traumatology departments, in the structure of hospitalised patients with maxillofacial trauma account for more than one third of all patients, which indicates the medical and social significance of this pathology [1, 3, 5]. Often, maxillofacial fractures involve nerves and lead to the development of paresthesias, neuropathy and neurosensory dysfunction (NDS). NSD can be persistent due to various manipulations, surgery and other factors [ 2, 6, 7].
