Abstract

Amaç:
Genel anestezi altında yapılan ağız, diş ve çene cerrahisi sonrası hastanede kalış süresini (HKS) etkileyen faktörleri değerlendirmek ve uzamış yatış süresinin perioperatif belirleyicilerini (yordayıcılarını) tanımlamaktır.

Yöntemler:
Bu retrospektif çalışma, 2017-2023 yılları arasında genel anestezi altında ağız, diş ve çene cerrahisi geçiren hastaları kapsamaktadır. Demografik değişkenler, Amerikan Anesteziyologlar Derneği (ASA) sınıflandırması, cerrahi türü, ameliyat süresi ve HKS kaydedilmiştir. HKS, medyan değere göre ≤1 gün veya >1 gün olarak kategorize edilmiştir. Uzamış HKS'nin bağımsız belirleyicilerini saptamak için çok değişkenli lojistik regresyon kullanılmıştır. Ana cerrahi kategoriler için alt grup analizleri yapılmıştır.

Bulgular:
Çalışmaya toplam 257 hasta dahil edilmiştir (112 kadın, 145 erkek); hastaların %77,4'ü ASA I grubundadır. Genel olarak hastaların %52,1'i 24 saat içinde taburcu edilirken, %47,9'u 1 günden fazla hastanede yatışa ihtiyaç duymuştur. Daha uzun ameliyat süresi (p < 0,001), ortognatik cerrahi (OR: 3,09; %95 GA: 1,39–6,89) ve kırık cerrahisi (OR: 5,25; %95 GA: 1,92–14,39), uzamış HKS'nin bağımsız belirleyicileri olarak saptanmıştır. Yaş, cinsiyet ve ASA sınıflandırması anlamlı bir ilişki göstermemiştir (p > 0,05). Ortognatik cerrahi alt grubunda, ameliyat süresi tek anlamlı belirleyici olarak kalmıştır (p = 0,002).

Sonuç:
Genel anestezi altında yapılan ağız, diş ve çene cerrahisi sonrası uzamış HKS, demografik veya ASA ile ilişkili faktörlerden ziyade, öncelikli olarak cerrahi karmaşıklık ve ameliyat süresi ile ilişkilidir. Ortognatik ve maksillofasiyal travma cerrahilerinde artan postoperatif havayolu takibi, ödem yönetimi ve analjezik gereksinimleri hastanede kalış süresinin uzamasına katkıda bulunmaktadır. Perioperatif planlamanın ve postoperatif bakım süreçlerinin optimize edilmesi, maksillofasiyal cerrahi pratiğinde uzamış HKS'yi azaltmaya yardımcı olabilir.

Factors influencing length of hospital stay after oral and maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia: a retrospective analysis

Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate factors influencing length of hospital stay (LOS) after oral, dental, and maxillofacial surgery performed under general anesthesia and to identify perioperative predictors of prolonged stay.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent oral, dental, and maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia between 2017 and 2023. Demographic variables, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, surgical type, operative time, and LOS were recorded. LOS was categorized as ≤1 day or >1 day based on the median value. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of prolonged LOS. Subgroup analyses were performed for major surgical categories.
Results: A total of 257 patients were included (112 women, 145 men); 77.4% were ASA I. Overall, 52.1% were discharged within 24 hours, while 47.9% required more than 1 day of hospitalization. Longer operative time (p<0.001), orthognathic surgery (odds ratio [OR]: 3.09; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.39-6.89), and fracture surgery (OR: 5.25; 95% CI: 1.92-14.39) were independent predictors of prolonged LOS. Age, gender, and ASA classification showed no significant associations (p>0.05). In the orthognathic subgroup, operative time remained the only significant determinant (p=0.002).
Conclusion: Prolonged LOS after oral, dental, and maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia is associated primarily with surgical complexity and operative duration rather than demographic or ASA related factors. Increased postoperative airway monitoring, edema management, and analgesic requirements in orthognathic and maxillofacial trauma surgeries contribute to extended hospitalization. Optimizing perioperative planning and postoperative care pathways may help reduce prolonged LOS in maxillofacial surgery practice.
