COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR SURGICAL TREATMENT OF COMBINED MAXILLOFACIAL INJURIES

Abstract

Combined maxillofacial injuries represent a complex clinical challenge due to their anatomical, functional, and aesthetic implications, as well as frequent association with polytrauma. This study aims to analyze comprehensive diagnostic criteria guiding surgical treatment strategies in patients with combined maxillofacial injuries. The assessment is based on contemporary clinical evidence, imaging technologies, and multidisciplinary diagnostic approaches applied in maxillofacial surgery and trauma care. Particular attention is given to the role of advanced imaging methods, functional assessment, soft tissue and skeletal injury evaluation, and systemic condition analysis in determining optimal surgical tactics. The findings indicate that the use of integrated diagnostic criteria improves injury severity assessment, surgical planning accuracy, and postoperative outcomes. Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation enables individualized surgical decision-making, reduces complication rates, and enhances functional and aesthetic recovery. The results underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary, evidence-based diagnostic framework as a prerequisite for effective surgical management of combined maxillofacial injuries.
