Application of double-layer soft tissue suture closure technique in the surgical treatment of patients with mandible medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw of early and medium stages

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical application effect of double-layer soft tissue (DLST) suture closure technique in patients with mandible medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) of early and medium stages resulted in application of anti-bone-resorptive drugs.

METHODS: Early to medium stage mandible MRONJ patients who underwent surgical treatment in the fourth ward of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from October 2021 to September 2022 were included. Clinical information of the patients were collected, including primary disease, concomitant disease, medication regimen (drug type, duration of medication), MRONJ stage, clinical symptoms, imaging manifestations, etc. During surgery, after using marginal mandibulae resection to remove the necrotic bone, the wound was closed using DLST closure technique. Regular post-operative follow-up was performed to evaluate the therapeutic effect and complications of the DLST technique, the pain score and functional status of the patiens were evaluated.

RESULTS: This study totally included 13 patients, 12 women and 1 man, aged (66.69±13.14) years. Seven patients had osteoporosis, 2 had lung cancer, 3 had breast cancer and 1 had prostate cancer among their primary diseases; 7 had no concomitant diseases, 2 had diabetes mellitus, 2 had cardiovascular disease and 1 had dry syndrome. Intravenous zoledronic acid were used in 9 patients, the average duration was (37.7±20.0) months, and other drugs, such as letrozole tablets were taken in 7 patients at the same time; Denosumab injection was used in 3 patients for an average of (10.3±11.9) months; Alendronate sodium tablets were taken in 5 patients for an average of (55.20±27.20) months, and prednisone acetate tablets or acarbose tablets were taken to varying degrees in 2 patients. The average post-operative follow-up was 11.9 months (9 to 17 months), and all the 13 patients were cured without complications, such as pus overflow and so forth. The pre-operative score of Karnofsky performance status (KPS) in the patients was 68.46±14.05, and the post-operative score was 82.31±15.36, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The pre-operative score of visual analogue scale (VAS) in the patients was 5.77±0.73 and the post-operative score was 0.38±0.51, and the difference had statistical significance (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION: The double-layer soft tissue suture closure technique can achieve good clinical results in patients with MRONJ of the mandible using anti-bone-resorptive drugs alone, and can provide clinical treatment ideas for MRONJ patients with more complicated drug use.
