RESULTS
A total of 60 patients who performed oSRP with osteotomies between age of 21 and 42 years (34 women and 26 men, mean age±SD, 29± 9 years) were included to the study. Of them 30 patients were as control (ages 21-39 years, 12 men, 18 women, mean age±SD, 28±7 years) and 30 patients were as study group (ages 21-42 years, 14 men, 16 women, mean age±SD, 27±8 years). No statistically significant difference was observed among the groups in terms of age and sex.
We observed that the administration of topical bromelain-arnica gel after surgery was effective clinically and statistically in decreasing the score of both edema and ecchymosis in oSRP with ostetomies. In group 2 patients, periorbital edema and ecchymosis scores were significantly lower compared to control group (p < 0.05). Graphics of postoperative edema and ecchymosis scores were showed as Figures 3-6. No complication associated with topical bromelain-arnica gel use or oSRP surgical procedure was observed.
