[Evaluation of effect of the surgical therapy for the oral and maxillofacial arteriovenous malformations.].
Since 1986,the diagnosis and treatment of 23 patients with oral and maxillofacial malformations have been prospectively studied.We have put forward a planned managing programme including the selective external carotid arterograph,accessory preoperatively arterial embolization,radical resection of lesion and immediate reconstruction of defect after primary resection for oral and maxillofacial arteriovenous malformations.We have got a satisfactory clinical effect.All these patients were followed up.The longest follow-up time was 6 years and 10 months.The average follow-up time was 4 years and 3 months.The rate of recurrence was only 4.3%(1/23).In this paper,we compared the different effect between the accessory arterial embolization and the arterial ligation.The result of comparing between two methods was that the arterial embolzation was superior to the arterial ligation.
