Objective To investigate the clinical value of surgical navigation system for the foreign bodies removal from deep space of oral,maxillofacial and cervical regions.Methods The data of 64 patients with foreign body removal treated in the department of stomatology of this hospital during 2014-2021 were retrospectively analyzed,in which the control group (n=52) received the traditional surgical treatment for foreign body removal,and the observation group (n=12) received surgical navigation system guided foreign body removal from deep space of oral,maxillofacial and cervical regions.The surgery-related indexes and oc-currence situation of complications were compared between the two groups.Results The constituent ratio of males in the two groups was higher than that of females,the foreign bodies were common in oral and maxillo-facial regions,which was dominated by nonmetal foreign bodies.The foreign bodies in the observation group all were successfully removed,which in 96.15% of patients in the control group were successfully removed. Compared with the control group,the volumes of intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drainage in the observation group were decreased (P<0.05),the operation time and hospitalization duration were decreased,the operation incision length was shortened,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The incidence rate of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (0 vs. 32.69%,P<0.05).Conclusion The use of surgical navigation system guidance for foreign body re-moval from deep space of oral,maxillofacial and cervical regions could precisely locate the position of the for-eign body,help to shorten the operation time,decrease the wound length,improve the prognosis of the pa-tients.
