Local prostaglandin E2 in patients with oral malignancies undergoing chemo- and radiotherapy.

Patients undergoing chemo- and/or radiotherapy for malignancies were often found to develop annoying inflammation of the oral mucosa. As prostaglandins are known to be cytoprotective. Prostaglandin E2 was given to 10 patients who received combined radio- and chemotherapy for oral neoplasms. Patients receiving PGE2 reported substantially less intense pain then those in the control group. Our statistically significant results indicate that topical treatment of side effects produced by combined radio- and chemotherapy of oral neoplasms with PGE2 holds promise and is clearly superior to conventional treatment modalities.

[Complications following orbital floor fractures].

Complications after orbital floor fractures were studied in 76 cases (follow-up time 4 years). The following procedures were performed by the maxillofacial surgeon: repositioning of the orbital floor, tamponade of the maxillary sinus, covering of the defect with Lyodura, autologous bone grafting, and balloon catheterization. A satisfactory result was achieved after the primary operation in 75% of the cases. In cooperation with the ophthalmologist a variety of complications in 19 patients were studied and analyzed. The results of this study show the necessity of diagnostic and surgical cooperation between the specialists concerned.
